About Me


My dog humps pink bears. Vigorously.

My Interests

photography(that's why there's like 30 images on here), reading, my niece and nephew, hiking, whining and wine, yoga, napping, beer, artsy fartsy things, eating ice cream, and long romantic walks in the park...with my dog...picking up her poo.

I'd like to meet:

Awesome people. And people with British accents.

Music:

Muse, Samiam, NIN, Prince(gotta love Prince!), Elliot Smith, Tool, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ella Fitzgerald, Goodbye Harry, Radiohead, Weezer, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, Portishead, Jack Johnson, Descendents, Cyndi Lauper, Johnny Cash, Imogen Heap, All, Mars Volta, Bad Religion, The Police. Almost anything. I think the only music I don't want to listen to is by Nickelback and Creed and recently added to that is Bullet for my Valentine or whatever...I hate that crap.

Movies:



Anything with Will Ferrel, Angelina Jolie, Vince Vaughn, Adam Sandler or Jack Nicholson. Scary movies. Pixar movies. Chick flicks. 80's flicks. FUNNY movies. Foreign Films. Whale Rider, The Princess Bride, The Dark Crystal, Secretary(check it out, little bit of S&M for ya), Tommy Boy, 40 Year-Old Virgin, What the Bleep Do We Know?, Kill Bill, The Usual Suspects, etc., etc.

Television:

Don't really watch it lately. I used to watch(but have no idea what's happened this season) Lost, The Office, My Name is Earl, Grey's Anatomy, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and PBS...I don't have cable. Now that I'm single I have much more of a life!!

Books:

I love to read! It all started with "Book It" in 5th grade-free Pizza Hut pizza for reading! Anything by Toni Morrison, Dickens, Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood, Annie Proulx, Virginia Woolf, Ray Bradbury, Louisa May Alcott's gothic tales. "Their Eyes Were Watching God" Zora Neele Hurston, "The Crying of Lot 49" Thomas Pynchon, "Nectar in a Sieve" Kamala Markanddaya, "Anna Karenina" Leo Tolstoy. My guilty reading pleasure is gossip magazines(shhh...)

Heroes:


My amazing sisters, Jessica and Rebecca, my awesome big brother, Josh, and my beautiful friends.

this sucks

I hate being sick. All I can say is...IT'S NOT FAIR! I'm sick of having RA, I'm too young for this bullshit. I hate my shots in my ass. I hate having a weak immune system. It's making me sad and frust...

carnivores

Did you know it takes two days for your body to digest meat? It essentially has to rot inside your bowels (ewww...that's so gross!) before it can pass through your system. Meat also makes your poo and...
