I am pretty much a boring gal... I really just read books, break my nose playing drunkin laser tag, tp and shortsheet beds and freeze underwear junior high style, host mud wrestling matches and water fight parties, and play as often as possible in Mexico. I need to do more of the things in life I love, like going out dancing and scuba diving. One day I will learn how to fly a plane, own my own flower shop, and dabble in horse race handicaping. Get back to me in 5, 15, and 20 years, respectively.
Music
I was born to be Frank Sinatra's ex-wife... but missed the boat on that one. Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Flogging Molly, Boston, Beatles, Otis Redding, Notorious BIG, Jack Johnson, Sublime, Journey, Poison, you get it.
Movies
Almost Famous, Casablanca, The Graduate, Singing in the Rain, The Breakfast Club, Friday, Old School, Tommy Boy
Television
Scooby Doo, Beavis and Butthead, South Park, The Simpsons, Most Extreme Eliminations (God Bless Japanese TV), Sex in the City, anything on the History or the Discovery Channel, and of course, Law and Order and CSI
Books
Fahrenheit 451, Franny and Zoey, and The Alchemist are some of my favorites. I'm such a flippin' nerd- I read way more than it's cool to admit. Do research papers count?
Heroes
Rock Stars-- Men with their screamin' guitars, shiney belts, low slung pants, pink lipgloss, black eye liner, cowboy boots, and hips that don't lie.

About me: "I always tell the girls: Never take it seriously. If you never take things seriously, you never get hurt. If you never get hurt, you always have fun. And if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends." ~Penny Lane~ ***
Who I'd like to meet: I heart Johnny Knoxville. Almost contacted JackAss when we did mud-wrestling. Then we decided it was a bad idea because they would pour elephant poo in the pit.
Hi Karen! That is so funny but I am afraid it couldn't have been me. I am a lady and would never think to do anything of such an inappropriate nature. Not to mention I have been in prison for the past 6 months.
Yes it has been ages since I've seen you I think Julies wedding .. Well since then I've had another baby well he's 3 now . I keep myself busy with being a mom to Chey 11, Hayley 8 and Hunter 3 . That's my full time job.. What are you up to ?

Hey girl how have u been? No internet at home yet, no time at work, i'm all in already and they say "she's still swimming, later she'll drown" That's what is said about scripps as well, so... Job is awesome, my room is furnished, just the housewife thing did not change :D
