About Me

I'll be the first admit that I'm a total dork and pretty much a nerd.

My Interests

music, books, film, art, family and friends, chesapeake bay retrievers, politics, hockey, learning in general and all fields

I'd like to meet:

hmm, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I'd love to sit and chat with Bono,or The Edge. Like how many other people? And I would so want to have a girl's night with PJ Harvey and Shirley Manson. Other than that, I've either already met most of them or they're no longer alive, regarding "known" people. Hard to believe, I can be quite shy, but love discourse with interesting, witty people.

Music:

Polarbear, PJ Harvey, Pete D., the High Violets, U2, blonde redhead, Chris Connelly-too many to mention!! Pretty much across the spectrum- save for I don't like most country or reggae.

Movies:

Miracle (duh!), Slapshot, Au Revoir Les Enfants, more recent-The Constant Gardener

Television:

uh, hockey, Jeopardy, the Science channel

Books:

I haven't had time for "fun" reading in soooo long. Hunger by Knut Hamsun made a big impact on me during a needed era. Simone de Beauvoir, Leon Uris are other authors I enjoy. Again, too many to mention. -- this comment goes for a lot of areas as I enjoy so many differnt sounds, textures, etc.

Heroes:

Simone DeBeauvoir, Gro Harlem Brundtland, the 1980 US Hockey team :)

land of the midnight sun

well, maybe not at midnight (won't be THAT far north) but it will still be light after 10... whoo hoo. I am packed and ready to face a full day of travel time and jet lag from a nine hour time differe...

i'm still alive

Whew, it's the third day of the quarter (my LAST quarter-yeah!) and I'm already tired.  It doesn't help that I've already had to turn in a short essay (just 5 minutes ago) and I have two more pap...

it is a vast wasteland

So, i've been quite busy with homework, work, and life in general... tonight, the NHL All-Star spectacle is playing over the next two days, so i thought I'd take a bit of a break.  Already a bit ...

well, at least it's the right month

Ok, so I left the Midwest several years ago... some winter days, it's difficult here to be motivated with not having any sun in over 30 days. But, seriously, i will take our monsoon rains over today's...

alive and kicking (at least not my own head this time)

christ, has it really been three weeks since I last posted?? well, even so, not too much to report.  We rejected the traditional literal and figurative gorge that is Christmas.  Rather than...

why can't I leave this blank?!

I meant to write more than I have in the last couple days... Friday, I found two of my favorite boy friends having miserable days and I hope that each has felt an improvement.  I found myself thi...

bringing light to new ground

I briefly awoke at 6am this morning as my man left for work and tried to catch a couple more winks as I will be leaving for work soon for a full day of fun working retail during this last full weekend...

food for thought, not just at this time of the year, but every day

Saw this at a message board I check out from time to time and thought I'd post a bit of it....If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead, and a place to sleep, you are...
