As long as you're walking on thin ice, you might as well dance.

About Me

Blimey! I can't believe I'm back here. Two years ago when I joined myspace it became just another reason for me to feel guilty about not staying in touch with friends but now I realize that I need every convenience possible to stay well connected to the people in my life. I feel quite often these days as if I'm on a mild dose of magic mushrooms, which is the only comparison I can think of for feeling this much wonder. But don't worry, I won't be obsessing over if I'm in your top 8 etc. because that is exactly the reason I find this to be a bit toxic. I will, however be attempting to humiliate the dickens out of you with some well archived photos I have in my arsenal. A word that is often used to describe me is "fake" and I've learned to just own it. It's just depressing that we're conditioned to believe that someone can't be nice without ulterior motive. It's always been my philosophy that life is too hard, how can we be anything but kind. But I am always pretty much in Haylie Mills-save-the world-mode which I'm sure can be grating to people who have to endure me. I'm constantly in pursuit of the next laugh but usually only hear that needle-being-pulled-off-a-record sound. For those of you keeping score that's Attempted Jokes: Billions, Actual Jokes: 0. I'm trying to be a woman of more substance but still catch myself obsessing over a pair of shoes for 2 days straight or rushing to the magazine stand every Thursday when the new US Weekly arrives. I'm sure there is a greater meaning to life than just laughing myself into a coma with my friends but I'm not going to give myself a migraine trying to think of it.

My Interests

Writing country songs with my sister, Ramsey Idol, trying to imagine my cat's superior vocabulary and assuming he is British, addicted to people-pleasing, TiVo weekends, foot washing Baptists, learning to play guitar, snacks and magazines, running 2 miles before remembering that I am bored, UofL Sports, word play.

I'd like to meet:

Dolly Parton, My grandma Ramsey again now that I realize how cool she was and "Beast" of Disney's animated "Beauty and the Beast" (not the creepy tv version or any Broadway dress up types). He seemed way cool to hang out with before he got all Prince. Oh, meet on here you mean? Mostly just wanting to stay in touch with friends.

Music:

Okay, I can keep up with the music snobs any day of the week but there is a distinct reason why I do not share my itunes with my co-workers and that is because there is a healthy share of some pretty embarrassing stuff on there that I refuse to outgrow. I won't open myself up to criticism by itemizing it here but suffice to to say that it would probably make your ears bleed.

Movies:

Pretty much anything I've ever said has come from Hot Shots or Hot Shots Part Deux with Naked Gun coming in a close second. Fave movie is probably Waiting for Guffman. Pretty big movie fan so it has to be heinous for me not to enjoy something about it. Heck, I'll even curl up with a good Western with my dad and get a little teary eyed at the end.

Television:

Reno 911, Scrubs, Secret Lives of Women, Conan, Big Love, Entourage, Cheerleader Nation, What is the offical age to outgrow Real World? I didn't get the memo, American Idol (to be read in a whisper), The Office, and I think I am the last soul on earth NOT to watch Grey's Anatomy.

Books:

Read Gone with the Wind continuously for the first 15 years of my life, anything by SARK, The Road Less Traveled. Currently reading what has been agreed upon by my book club which is The Time Traveler's Wife for this month. Oh and I'm addicted to Self-Help books.

Heroes:

The fam fo sho and anyone who isn't paralyzed by fear in pursuing their dreams.
