I am here for Friends

About Me


First, another one of my favorite quotes: "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." ~Albert Einstein... Where to start... I'll go with the abbreviated version- been married to a wonderful man (Rick) for almost five years now, who has been a Marine grunt for 12 years. We met (yahoo), and eloped to Vegas 2 months later. I spent two years in the Army, and I now attend CSU Fullerton (majoring in Communicative Disorders).

My Interests

Our song ... "Cause I Love You"

Create your own Friend Quiz here I LOVE playing the piano/singing/writing music, and I'm currently working on a book of poems (4 pieces published so far!). I love shooting pool, going to the beach, reading (esp. suspense/mystery, poetry, and obscure word books), writing poetry, also love football, esp. college (GO USC!!!- dad went there).

..

I'd like to meet:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Moses, Albert Einstein, Maya Angelou, Fiona Apple, Michael McDonald and Angelina Jolie.

Music:

My musical taste is pretty eclectic to say the least- I LOVE Fiona Apple... also Jack Johnson, Tori Amos, Incubus, Travis, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Brett Dennen, DMB, Gnarls Barkley, Joss Stone, John Mayer, Jewel, Los Lonely Boys, Natasha Bedingfield, Sheryl Crow, Paul Simon, KT Tunstall, Johnny Cash, and anything reggae (especially Bob Marley and Steel Pulse), and pretty much anything classical (my true love is the piano, which I've played since I was 7). I'm even forced to remotely like country (since the hubby's a Texan, but he mostly likes rock like Disturbed, Metallica, etc).

Movies:

"Flags of Our Fathers" was great... Also love "Shawhank Redemption" (a classic), "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "What Dreams May Come," "Once Upon a Time in America" (GREAT De Niro), "Napolean Dynomite" (vote for Pedro!), and since I feel I'm obligated to include a chick flick, "Sense and Sensibility," ... oh, and can't forget "The Little Mermaid."

Television:

Although I'm not a big fan of TV, I do have my obsessions, which are Grey's Anatomy and CSI. When I get the chance to watch it, I also love "Will and Grace," "Ugly Betty," and infrequent visits to the news.

Books:

As far as novels, I love suspense/thriller and crime/romance novels- also love Shakespeare's sonnets, and I love reading any poetry. Most importantly, I love reading the Good Book, especially psalms.

Heroes:

Definitely my dad (bless his soul), who taught me to never give up and always said, "You can do anything you set your mind to, as long as you're really set on it!" My mom is also my hero, for getting my little bro and I through the hard times... A pep talk to myself: "Don't Forget" by Brett Dennen..... Don't forget That I believe in you Should you forget Should you forget Let me remind you I am behind you- You were a secret waiting to be found out Soon be what everyone is talking about May you spread your love like laughter And find whatever you're after Open all your windows and let the music spill out- Don't forget Don't forget Mmmm Hmmmm That I believe in you Should you forget Should you forget Let me remind you I am behind you- May you dance like rain upon a still lake You make this world a beautiful place No more crying don't shun your light keep shining Wipe your tears from your sweet face- Don't forget Don't forget Mmmm Hmmmm That I believe in you Should you forget Should you forget Let me remind you I am behind you- Don't be afraid should things happen to change Cause change can be a beautiful thing Should things fall apart Be patient like a rainbow Life is loving and letting go~
