In life comes death.

Elusive, reclusive, loving...torn.

About Me

I'm an easygoing, softhearted woman with three kids. They are Nicholas, age 9, Micheal, age 7, and Marshall, who is 21 months old. I love people, but dislike being in large groups of people I don't know. I tend to keep my friends very close to me, because I value their friendship and loyalty. I'm possibly the biggest advocate for Violet Wands, mainly because I love the effects not just on me, but other people as well.

My Interests

My children hold priority here. Following would be: relationship, friends (the few I have), losing the rest of the baby weight I gained from having my little one, internet, politics, funny or scary movies, enjoying life while I'm on this forsaken planet.

I'd like to meet:

If we're talking about anyone, dead or alive, I'd love to meet Abraham Lincoln, Edgar Allen Poe, Nostradamus, Leonardo Da Vinci, and I'd love to get to know my father better.

Music:

Tool, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynard Skynard, A Perfect Circle, Korn, Stabbing Westward, Lamb Of God, System of a Down, Staind, The Cure, Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Flogging Molly, Radiohead, Earshot, Shinedown, KMFDM, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Metallica, Lost Soul Project, Linkin Park, Deftones, Static X, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearm Jam, Alice In Chains, Soil, Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin, The Doors, Blue Oyster Cult, Bach, Beethoven, Motzart, Love essentially all classic to modern rock, and I have a big spot in my heart for classical piano and orchestral music as well.

Movies:

The Princess Bride and Labyrinth are my favorites, pretty much anything by Monty Python, Jonny Depp moveis, House of 1000 Corpses, People Under The Stairs (classic horror movie cheese), Little Nicky, Princess Monoke, Perfect Blue, Aeon Blue Apocolypse, American History X, The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, definately funny over scary, but I'll give almost any movie a chance.

Television:

TV is all reality now and I can't stand it. What happened to great shows like The Jeffersons and Taxi? Or All in the Family? But, I do really love The West Wing, The Simpsons, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Web Junk 20..just because it's really funny, South Park, and there's not a lot more I can think of for this category.

Books:

I'm currently addicted to the Terry Goodkind series of novels. I also like Anne Rice, Terry Pratchett, Stephen King (his books are better than his movies), William Shakespere, Edgar Allen Poe, and a few others.

Heroes:

Every mother and father in this world who sacrifice everything they have just to make ends meet and take care of their little ones are the unsung heroes of everything. Without them we would not be here today.
