About Me

I'm 26 and 5'3" & lead a pretty boring life at the moment. I have Arnold Chiari Malformation which is sorta rare and no one has ever heard of it! it gives you headaches so right now i have had it all my life but only found out about it 6 years ago. I am also on disability bc of it. I have had 5 brain surgeries bc of the chiari also. last one was 1/31/07. I left school about 5 years ago and plan to go back when i am well. but that doesnt seem to be any time soon. I am trying to become a history teacher in high school. but until then i teach sunday school at my church to 3rd-5th grade. keeps me teaching plus i am volunteering which is important also. I help my mom take care of my nana who has alzheimers-and she lives w/ us. we have 2 great danes the love of my life-Bailey, the Golden retriever born on oct 7, 2007 but we got him on dec 1st. he is the light of my life & i have never been happier since ive gotten him. i still miss terry-she is so different than bailey though-their loves are not the same! but i love them equally-but bailey is here & he is fabulous-i think he is the perfect dog. hehe. the best!! so cute too. ok, moving on-because i could go on about him!! I love the new York Rangers (hockey) & just about any team that comes out of New York. I am irish and go to ireland often enough bc we have tons of family over there. I did this(meaning myspace) bc my younger cousin said I should so this is for him. :) I love Will Smith & bon Jovi & 80s music! you know you love it! Plus i am a jersey girl!!! sure i live in pa but i'd rather be in jersey!!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Will Smith...I love him!!! Brian Leetch...he is a great defenseman & should go back to the New York Rangers!!! Kevin Smith...aka...silent bob...he is an awesome director/writer! check out his movies! they are hilarious usually. Mariah Carey bc she was my inspiration for a very long time-her & boyz II men-oh how i love them! if we are talking about everyone-bc i notice people on here do-i would love to meet princess diana. she was so amazing & had such an amazing heart-and i had always felt i had a connection to her-which is another story-but to talk to her would be a dream come true. I'd love to meet pres. bush-the current one-so i can say what the hell were you thinking? and why do you still seem to think everything is fine? the rest of the world knows we are in a recession-just fricken admit it! and speakin of political figures-id love to meet hilary & bill clinton. i think they are both amazing people who can really make a difference in this country-hell, one did fix this country once after the 1st bush! why not the other one fix things up after the 2nd bush leaves?!?! i would like to meet jesus & god & make sure i am doin a good job-what am i supposed to be doing? why am i the way i am? i feel 7 years is enough for 1 person to deal w/ chiari-let alone 5 surgeries-i know i was a good person, sure i had my moments, but fill me in. i need to know whats up. and i would love to meet my grandfathers & my uncle sidney & cousin roberta again. ok, thats it.
