I'm sorry that we're sinking, but we're sinking just the same.

About Me

July 1st 2007 I lost my sister suddenly. It's a devastating blow. 5 years before this, I lost my father and I didn't think I could feel worse than that but I was wrong. She was barely 34. It was too soon. She was my only sister...my big sister. It's hard not to feel lost without her.
I love you, Lynette. Thank you for everything you gave me. I will do my best to honor your memory and keep you alive as long as I can.
The rest of me:I am 31 years old and I am still trying to figure out who I am. I hope whoever it is, that she's a person worth knowing.
I seem to have become a dance groupie. Never intended that. I've always loved to watch dance but I have become such a fan of certain dancers that it literally has changed my life. Not in any magical sense, or like my whole life is perfect now....I just mean it has changed the way I spend my time and my energy.
I am a geek, and I am proud of it. I love fellow geeks. If you're smart, funny, and have glasses, I probably have a crush on you. If you also have a british accent, I definitely have a crush on you.
I love to take and edit pictures. The people who currently inspire me most in that realm are Benji and ShellBen. I hope to improve my skills. I will never be anything but an amateur, but that's OK. I used to be a writer and had the same issue then. I had a certain level of talent, but not enough.
I am so many good and bad things all rolled up in one package. I hope the end result is someone you can like.
Visit our forum/board..the Exchange went away but we're still alive and kicking elsewhere. :) Thanks ShellBen for the piccie!


My Interests

I'd like to meet:



My first Lacey video! I've been too busy to make many videos this year but I like this one. I'm a little out of practice so there are a couple sloppy moments, sorry! :)

A little journey through musicians who have meant a lot to me over my life.

Music:

Obscure folk, rock, etc. Some mainstream excursions.

Movies:

Lots

Television:

Right now I am disturbingly obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance.

Also, PUSHING DAISIES, Chuck, Heroes, Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Psych, Bones, and lots lots more. ...

Heroes:

Pretty much anyone who can handle this crazy world better than I can. Which is...a lot of people.

KITTEN

Touch

I got all emotional last week about this and am just now getting around to writing about it. I was thinking of my youth and it really hit me for some reason to realize I barely ever get touched anymor...

Things Remembered

I am traditionally a creature of faulty memory.  I barely remember my childhood. Even my adulthood, if something specific doesn't cement memories in place they flutter away like migrating butterf...

.oOo.oOo.oOo.

There's another tragic side effect of suddenly losing someone close to you.  The brutal way we tear ourselves apart over what could have, should have, would have been.  We should have known,...

Question

And be brutally honest.  Am I hard to talk to? Am I contradictory? Do you feel I automatically negate things you say?For example, if you talk about something cool and exciting, do you find that m...

Paranoia

Last night the power went out for several hours.  And I don't usually, but I got really paranoid. Especially because we kept hearing what sounded like gunshots. Though it could have been leftover...
