About Me


Ohh, all these people want to know about me. And I'm not even famous yet! To be honest, I don't really like writing about myself, it always comes out sounding like a bizarre personal ad.
"I'm a 27 year old White Female who values friendship and cuddling. I love books, music, laughing and a certain blond bass player. Turn-offs include bossiness, oversized pants and peaple who are always angry."
See? Doesn't tell you much. So instead of relating a bunch of unconnnected facts about me, I'll just tell you what I believe about life. I don't always live up to what I believe, but these are the five things that have shaped the way I live.
5. I believe that a person's maturity is directly related to how often they can laugh at themselves, that humor and silliness and fun are essential to a healthy soul.
4. I believe that imagination is a gift that lets us connect with things we cannot see, and that myths and fairy tales and fables tell us something about the world and about ourselves.
3. I believe that wearing spandex, should be a privlege, and not a right. :-)
2. I believe that kindness is essential. Eveyone wakes up at some point and wonders if it's even worth while getting out of bed. We are travelers in a hostile, dangerous, beautiful world, and all of us have heartache buried somewhere in our souls. So it is good to be patient and understanding as much as we possibly can.
1. I believe that the heart of the universe is a God of love, who would do anything in his power, short of force, to win our hearts, and who gave up the most precious thing He had for the chance to bring us back to Him.
That's what I believe, and so, I hope, that's who I am. (It's also why I never, ever wear spandex.) :-) This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Movies:

All time Top Ten (or, movies I can watch over and over without going insane): 10. The Gods Must Be Crazy, both I and II 9. Singing in the Rain 8. Hellfighters (starring John Wayne) 7. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 6. The Three Musketeers, the Disney one with Oliver Platt (This sash was a gift to me from the queen of America) 5. Hatari (starring John Wayne 4. Any James Bond movie with Roger Moore 3. Any James Bond movie with Sean Connery 2. That Old Feeling (starring Bette Midler) 1. Twenty-Eight Days (with Sandra Bullock, whose name I may have spelled wrong....) I love most movies with Bette Midler, though I'm still iffy about "Beaches". Plus any movie with Queen Latifah in it would fit in there somewhere, depending on my mood.

Television:

I don't currently have an antenna on my TV, so I don't watch it, but... My all time addictive series (serieses?) are... in no particular order... Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Murder She Wrote, Monk, Columbo, Law and Order and subsequent spin-offs, CSI and subsequent spin-offs, Home Improvement, the Cosby Show, original Star Trek and Star Trek Next Generation (yes, I am a nerd). Classics I still love include the Avengers, James West and Get Smart. Plus I love Whose Line is it Anyway, Jay Leno's Headlines, and Channel 7 ten o'clock news with Adam Atchison.

Books:

This website isn't big enough. :-0
