I am here for Friends

About Me

-My favorite place is London, but I dream about going back to Paris someday.

-I once rode an all night bus from London to Glasgow with my best friend after we missed our flight.

-I love music, and the best concert I ever saw was the first Jamie Cullum concert I went to. It was transcendental.

-I love art, specifically Toulouse-Lautrec, impressionist paintings, and so forth.

-I sang karaoke once in a French bar in Montreal.
-I love learning. I loved school, and now I'm going to become a teacher.

-I come from a huge family- my paternal grandparents actually have great-great grandkids, so there are several generations of us.

-I was best friends with Ryan for almost 10 years before we decided to commit to each other.

-My laugh was once described as "bubbles tumbling out of a washing machine."

-I have all sorts of crazy stories to tell, and I love making memories and having spontaneous, wonderful times.

My Interests

I like tons of things. Music, art, acting, reading, writing, friends, adventure, travel: those top the list. I also belong to the Jane Austen Society of North America.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Jane Austen, but I'll settle for visting her house someday. I'd love to meet oodles of people, I'll spare you the list.

Music:

I really do like everything. Jazz, country, pop, classic rock, folk, rap, etc. I absolutely looove Jamie Cullum, Rufus Wainwright, Regina Spektor, and so on. And of course the Beatles, aaaaah there are so many, just ask me what I like if you care to.

Movies:

There are sooo many wonderful movies... I'm obsessed with all sorts of them, but for me, nothing tops Moulin Rouge.

Television:

The Office, My Name is Earl, ER, Desperate Housewives, and my Brit shows like Green Wing and Gimme Gimme Gimme

Books:

Again, I'm an avid reader, so at any given time I'm reading something. Ask me and I've probably read it.

Heroes:

Who are my heroes...hmm. I greatly respect people who dare to be different and honestly don't give a crap what people think of them. I drool over people with amazing and natural propensities in the arts. I know it's cheesy, but people who have risked everything for other people really amaze me.

My Blog

Technology sucks!

Dammit my computer just ate the last entry, this piece of garbage! Here's the brief update because I'm tired: ~We got another cat. ~My cell phone doesn't work here and I just got a voicemail today&nbs...

So right, so wrong, hehe

Here's the thing. I'm not a lesbian by any stretch of the imagination, but I keep finding myself fascinated by that damned Katy Perry video about "I Kissed a Girl" or whatever. I mean, it's not so muc...

Goodbye, yesterday!

Well last weekend was a bit of a bust, but some good came out of it, I suppose. I can't believe this weekend is here already- time is flying. 2008 has been a much better year so far in comparison to 2...

Dustin eats the Hunchback of Notre Dame

Well I'm in a bit of a sucky mood, but all is not lost. The past couple days have been extra hilarious, hehehe. Last night, Amy fell on the floor laughing while I practically went into seizures on the...
