About Me

I know just enough about most things to make me dangerous. I like to play Trivial Pursuit (the board game, 90's edition in particular.) I don't like to play trivial pursuit (the man edition.) I screw up now and then...get over it. (Like you never have done so yourself, uh huh) I work too hard, play too hard, and crash and burn when all is said and done. Hey, I'm trying.

My Interests

Like to dance; love amusement parks, hiking, biking, anything outdoors that keeps me moving; movies, attending Pittsburgh sporting events, the CLO and Broadway series, concerts; traveling, the beach, the mountains, the spa.....reading (but not much time for it); writing (you'll never read it though)...spending time with my boys is the best. Now, give me something else to add to my list!!

I'd like to meet:

Nice people with a great sense of humor who can roll with the punches. To all of the rest, Auf Wiedersehen.By the way, friend requests are great...but if you send a request with no message, there will not be an add. I don't want a friend list full of people I have never spoken with, and I don't want to sit on someone's friend list just so they can say they have 1,000 friends. My list is for friends, not fillers -- so no speakie no addie. (And I really do remove those whom I don't communicate with after awhile, so if there is not at least an occasional hello to keep in touch, off ya go. No hard feelings, just a way of maintaining my sanity when trying to keep up with friends.)

Music:

My tastes are eclectic. Classical, pop, rock,techno, electronica, alternative, rap, reggaeton, new age.....I have favorites from just about every genre.Everything from The Sexy Young Mexicans to Evick, Poison to Simon & Garfunkel, Shakira to Enya, 30 Seconds to Mars to Vivaldi.

Movies:

Kung Pow...brilliant in its idiocy; You've Got Mail...sappy, but I love it; Notting Hill...just makes me laugh; 50 First Dates...that was me at one time; Waterboy...come on, who doesn't love it; The Remains of the Day, Sense and Sensibility, and all those other sappy Brit movies...just because; The Princess Bride;Shaun of the Dead...hilarious; Muriel's Wedding...also hilarious, but it's the Abba theme that I love; Closer; Unfaithful; Star Wars...Hans Solo hooked me way back when; The Fast and the Furious...because of Vin; The 40-Year-Old Virgin...how funny was that waxing scene?; Some I saw again recently and remembered I loved: National Lampoon's Vacation. Zoolander. Sixteen Candles. Better Off Dead. What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Grease. Gone With the Wind. Pitch Black.

Television:

I have two boys, so I usually end up watching what they watch - Samurai Champloo, Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist are pretty good(Yeah, they are in bed, lol...I watch them myself.) I usually end up falling asleep to Adult Swim or the History Channel.

Books:

I haven't had time to read much lately; if you have any recommendations send 'em my way! Some faves are Bridget Jones' Diary; Little Women; The Clan of the Cave Bear Series; The Forest House; Gone With the Wind; The Lovely Bones; the Left Behind series (earlier ones especially.)

Heroes:

Dad and mom. The two people who showed me what it truly is to love unselfishly...and to care about those I love more than I do about myself.
