Myspace Backgrounds Hmm, I am from Chattanooga, TN. I went to college all over TN before I finally made myself stick with a major and graduated from MTSU. I met my husband Jacob in the 'Boro after I made Katie invite him to my house for a party because I was too nervous to talk to him. Katie later witnessed our marriage when we eloped. We moved to Orlando so he could study the culinary arts. I have since gained 10 pounds, happily. He let me pick out the sorriest looking chihuahua from the pound who didn't have any hair on his butt because he was a nervous wreck. The hair has since grown in. We named him Cheeto after our favorite cheese snacks. I recently quit my job at Disney and moved to the Windy City to attend law school. So far Chicago has been fun and beautiful. Anyways, I love to bake goodies like cheesecakes and dip things in chocolate. I also like to make greeting cards with card stock and rubber stamps. Nerdy huh? My dog is my hobby, he needs a lot of petting and scratching and he needs someone to throw his favorite toy across the apartment. Then he naps. I am just a big kid who is playing house with Jacob. I laugh at my own jokes and cry at anything sad in a movie. That's about it.

My Interests

I'm interested in criminal law, constitutional law, civil procedure and contracts part deux.

I'd like to meet:

the person who invented pantyhose (who was probably a man) so I can give him a great big whack on the back of the head! It was a man dammit! - Du Pont came out with nylon in the 1930's!

Music:

I like all kinds of tunes. I grew up listening to the oldies, so I missed out on the 80's. I LOVE No Doubt, Gwen is my girl. Cold Play, Outkast, Dave Matthews Band, the Beatles, Cheryl Crow. I dunno, this is crazy! I'll listen to anything besides country!! Smashing Pumpkins BABY! Oh, and Jacob too.

Movies:

Napoleon Dynamite! all movies by M. Night Shyamalan; Kill Bill; War of the Worlds; The Breakfast Club; Sixteen Candles; Pretty in Pink

Television:

Sex in the City-my all time favorite show, even though I've seen all the episodes too many times. Jeopardy! Project Runway-my favorite all-time ef-up was Sweet Pea's menswear shirt. Too freakin' hilarious and I loved that she owned her ef-up.

Amazing how what we dream and the symbols of modern man are a part of our psyche just as what was part of ancient man's psyche; The Power of Myth-Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers; The Color of Water A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother-James McBride; Who's Looking Out for You?-Bill O'Reilly; Contempt of Court The Turn-of-the-Century Lynching that Launched a Hundred Years of Federalism-Mark Curridan and Leroy Phillips (CHATTANOOGANS, THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A CRIME AND TRIAL IN OUR HOMETOWN!); The Wisdom of Insecurity A Message for an Age of Anxiety-Alan Watts; This is It and Other Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience-Alan Watts; The Tao of Womanhood Ten Lessons for Power and Peace-Diane Dreher; Now, Discover Your Strengths-Marcus Buckingham & Donald O.
