These days, I must agree with most of my friends that I need to get a life! How do I know this? Because I have three Myspaces, a Doggy Myspace and 8 game applications. And a dog. My dog is the love of my life, and as she's pushing 14, and I'm "pushing 40" (Thanks, Doc for that comment!), we're enjoying our time together. Please feel free to visit my puppy's Myspace (Scout is listed under my top friends, of course!).
Every six months or so, I get to see the majority of my friends (who live 300 miles away in California) at Renaissance or Pirate festivals. Yes, life is just SOOOO exciting here in Las Vegas. I won't lie. I hate it here. When I can find a equal or better paying job ANYWHERE but here, I'm gone. The other alternative is that I'm still waiting for the Rich Irishman and his castle to come and collect me. For the love of GAWD, man! HURRY UP!!!
I can be a little hard to handle, which is why I'm a committed spinster. The older I get, the more set I am in my ways. I'm also always right and more than a little obsessive-compulsive about most stuff. Am I wrong?? Huh, huh? Am I?!?!
MY INTERESTS: Renaissance Faires, outdoor sports, horseback riding, camping, beading, traveling EVERYwhere, baseball, my puppies, fairies (I collect Amy Brown), gargoyles,FL Gators, studying religions (anthropology/theology), history, blogging, reading and movies. And, like, DUH!!! GUINNESS and PIRATES, yar!!!
I LOVE a good debate! Especially religions or politics (don't mention the death penalty if you don't have a couple of hours to 'discuss' it!). I also have a TON of conspiracy theories...most of which are on my old blog. Oh, and be sure to ask me about Doomsday 2012 (or click below). The movie version "2012" is due to be released in November 2009.
I am Kung-Fu Kitty, government trained assasin and I will kick your ass! Meee- OW (You!).
Favorite addictions: Guinness (of course!), Starbucks is a close second. I'm currently forbidden from having ANYthing I love, particularly my Vente, Iced, Non-Fat Caramel Macciato with extra caramel. My doctor is a charbohydrate and sugar ghestapo. Uhhh... what I wouldn't do for one right now... (*Homer Drool*) Otherwise, David's BBQ Sunflower Seeds, Jelly Belly's, men in kilts, all things Irish and CHEESE!!
音樂
MY MUSIC: Celtic is by far my favorite. That's pronounced "KEL-tick" Boston, not "SELL-Tik"! You should be ashamed!), especially Moya (Maire) Brennan, Clannad, U2, Sinead O'Conner, Flogging Molly, Capercaillie, Blackmore's Night, the Cranberries and the Chieftans.
I also like a lot of Folksie music (I was raised in the '70s you know!), but otherwise, I have a really WIDE variety of favorites...eveything from John Denver (YES, really!!) to Marilyn Manson. Sometimes the mellow tunes of Yanni or Jim Brickman.
American-wise (or British!): Fleetwood Mac, Toby Keith, The Police, Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Dido, Blue October, KD Tunstall, DMB, Lisa Loeb, Gwen Stefani, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Jewel, & Alanis, and a lot of music from the '60s & 70's.
電影
MOVIES: I am a movie junkie! An addiction rating right up there with traveling! At last count, I have rated over 1,100 movies on NetFlix (and if you're on Netflix, let me know & I'll add you to my friends). Netflix is a movie-lover's wet dream, along with the 'bible' of movies, IMDB.com.
I'm one of those freaky people who is like a walking movie encyclopedia. A completely useless talent unless I happen to make it onto Jeopardy and every catagory is on movies. Or I happen to be staying with pals Kat and Rich, who may possibly be even more of a movie-geek than I am. MAYBE. Don't tell him. It'll go straight to his head.
Among these talents, I can tell you who the actors are, what else they've been in and I'm a wiz at "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". (Isn't there SOME job out there I can use this for??)
Given this "hobby" of mine, it also means that I have seen way too many movies to limit my favorites. I watch all genres and have at least a dozen favorites in each. Its really a mood thing, but I am especially partial to historical dramas, horror and Sci-Fi's, and (as incredible as it may seem since I HATE kids), animated movies such as "Ice Age", "Madagascar" and all the "Shrek"'s.
Among my faves, some of the leaders are still "Tombstone", "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", "Platoon", "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", "Below", "Pitch Black", "The Exorcist", "Elizabeth", "Pride and Prejudice", "Bridget Jones' Diary", the "LotR" and "PotC" Trilogies (of course!), and the ORIGINAL "Star Wars" movies. (*Sucks in a breath before continuing*)
Then theres the "Resident Evil" movies, "Underworld", "The Fifth Element", "The Exorcist", "Van Helsing", and of course, all the "Austin Powers" movies! Recently added (I was a comic-book-super-hero late bloomer!) are: The "X-Men" movies, the "Spiderman" movies (only 1 & 2...3 sucked!), "V for Vendetta" and "The Fantastic Four"s. I do NOT like the new "Superman" movie as it interfere's with a 2 decade love-affair with Christopher Reeves. Irreplaceable.
Being a hot-blooded American movie-lover, I of course have my favorite leading men! Funny, but 4 out of 5 of them are from 'across the pond'. Probably because England and Scotland still know how to crank out those traditional, romantic heroes we love so well. Of course, it could also be those accents!!
So, even though the list keeps growing, the top five never get bumped. In no particular order, they are: Gerard Butler, Ralph Fiennes (I fell for him in his bad-guy roll on "Schindler's List"), Colin Firth (the ULTIMATE romance man!), Hugh Jackman (ok, he's actually Australian!), and Vin Diesel (I admit this one is just lust.. what a body!). I've got some runner-up hotties I adore also such as, Henry Ian Cusick (from "LOST"), Johnny Depp (well, duh!), Christian Bale (just saw him in "Empire of the Sun". He was even cute as a 12-year old!) and Ray Stevenson (I will hate HBO forever for cancelling "ROME"!!!) I'm currently developing a major crush on Jason Statham too. Yummy!
I have my favorite leading ladies too... and as beautiful as they are, I just can't hate them! These are the ladies that get me into the theatre everytime! Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Kate Beckinsale, Milla Jovovich, Kate Winslet, Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon. On the other side, I cannot STAND Pamela Anderson and she is the spawn of the devil. This blonde bimbo has set feminism back 80 years. Put the boobies, take the boobies out. Put them BACK in, take them back out. She must be one big stretch mark by now.
電視
MY TV: OBVIOUSLY, I'm a HUGE "LOST" fan, which also makes me a HUGE "LOST" conspiracy theorist too! My Wednesdays in summer totally suck when the show's on hiatis. By far still my favorite show and I'd rather chew off my right arm than miss an episode! If you want to do some "LOST" MySpace surfing, make sure you check out my 'friends' list. I've actually added a "LOST" catagory to make it easier! There's many good and dedicated spaces there.
After "LOST", my main faves are "True Blood", "The Tudors" and "Harper's Island. Others, in no particular order, "The Simpsons", "South Park", "Rome" (freakin' CANCELLED dammit!!), "The Tudors", and "Project Runway". I can also out-quote anyone in a "Star Trek" marathon. I'm talking the original (and the best). I know nothing about the later knock-offs, but yes, William Shatner did indeed change the world (with a lot of help from the late, great Gene Roddenberry).
書籍
MY BOOKS: My favorite book of all time is still Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". You might notice my dogs are named after key characters (and I had Scout long before Bruce and Demi did!) I'm also very fond of Jane Austin's novels (I visited her home while in England), particularly "Pride and Prejudice".
William Butler Yeats is my favorite poet (visited his grave in Ireland). Otherwise, I mostly read 'trashy' historical, romance novels. What can I say? I have to get my kicks somewhere! My favorite romance authors include Connie Mason, Theresa Medieros, Lynn Kurland, Sandra Hill, Johanna Lindsey and Lisa Kleypas. Someday I'll write my own. I've got the story ideas and the writing skills, I just lack the ability to complete a story! I get going, then get another idea and forget to come back to it! Writer's A.D.D. I guess.
偶像
MY HEROES: My Dad and my grandpa - They both passed away in the summer of 2005. Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. Feminist Victoria Woodhull, a woman 100 years before her time. Sherrif Joe Arpaio (Maricopa County, Phoenix, Az), Bill Shatner, Jane Austin, William Butler Yeats, Amy Brown (fairy artist), Thomas Jefferson, Oskar & Emily Schindler (of "Schindler's List" fame) for doing right no matter what, and Opha Mae Johnson (first Woman Marine) and my beloved Marine Corps and ALL our troops (wish I could be over there with you!). Of course Arthur Guinness (creator of the nectar of the gods!) and all my California friends (cause I know all your secrets!).
I tend to root for the underdogs... people who did amazing things to spite small starts (J.L. Kraft, Napoleon Bonaparte, John Denver and others I've already mentioned). Since most of my heroes are now deceased, I'm sort of on a mission to pay respects to them, when possible. So far, I've visited the graves of: John Denver (in Aspen), W.B. Yeats (in Sligo, Ireland), Napoleon Bonaparte (in Paris), Thomas Jefferson (at Montebello, Virgina), and Doc Holiday (in Glenwood Springs, CO). I haven't made it to Edgar Allen Poe's grave in Baltimore, but I did visit his home & museum in Richmond, VA.
OBSESSION (uhb-sesh-uhn) noun: The willingness to kidnap and trade 20 rich American men for one cute Irishman with a thatched-roof cottage.
The following stickman represents how I feel at the end of a night of interviewing inmates at the jail!!
First of all, let me answer the burning question I've been getting since I was a little girl: YES, THIS IS MY REAL HAIR!!! OK... that out of the way, I settled here in Las Vegas about 13 years ago, and actually it was accidental. I had been working for Club Med and was on my way back to L.A. from the Bahamas, and simply got off the plane. Within the month, I had 2 jobs and met my soon-to-be Ex-husband. Six months later, I became a corrections officer, and eventually a sergeant. Altogether, about seven years. Regrettably, I'm genetically-challenged and had to take a 'safer' desk-job. I've had 2 back surgeries and a foot surgery and more on the horizon. Needless to say, I'm still working in a jail, but now I'm a lowly civilian. Still, where I work is definitely not dull! Just when I think I've seen it all, something or someone comes along to shock even me!
Things that remind me of Home (Florida): Rain and the smell of wet asphalt, fresh-mowed grass, fireflies, afternoon thunderstorms, football, camping, horses, orange & blue (FL Gators!), big oak trees and spanish moss, fishing, marshmallows over a campfire, the beach, gators & frogs croaking, cicadas buzzing at dusk, train horns late at night (my grandparents house was across the street from the tracks), stars over the lake, tubing on the river, fish-fries, church hymns, hiking through the woods, summer camp in a REAL FOREST, windchimes, bug-zappers, citranella candles, pine needles & cones, swimming in a clear river (with manatees), crank windows and screen doors, salt-water taffy and seashells.
I was raised in Ocala, Florida (Go Gators!), graduated when I was 16 and immediately went into the Marine Corps on my 17th birthday.
A couple of years (and bad knees)later, I got out of the military and traveled a LOT. That is my true passion! That and history. When I travel, I research, and I am out to see any and everything historical. I am NOT one of those relax on a beach kind of vacationer. More like I have an unrealistic agenda and have to trim it as I go. Since leaving my little home town, I've lived in 5 states and visited 29. I've lived in 3 countries and visited 12... many by myself. Ireland is still my favorite. If it was as easy to move to Ireland or England, as it is to move to America, I'd have been gone a long time ago!
I remain happily divorced and currently without boyfriend. A bonafide spinster! I have no children (except my dogs) and NO desire to breed. Honestly, I hate kids but it seems the more you hate them, the more they try to bond with you (is that some kind of sick, sixth sense they have or something?). You want my cigarette smoke away from you?? Keep your G**Damn kids away from me!! And OMFG! Make the noise STOP!!!
"They say anger is just love disappointed." - The Eagles
My nicknames are "Red", "Big Red", "Guinness Wench" (duh!) and "Cat". There's a few who call me "Sunshine" as well, though I can't understand why! Most people just call me "FLYNN". Lots of years in sports and militaristic jobs, not to mention I look like a "FLYNN" and it also pays homage to my dad. Now "Cat" is actually short for my faire name Caitriona, but it's got a second meaning in that I've used like, SIX of my 9 lives. Yeah, I really should NOT be here. Dumb luck usually! I even pulled a 'Sonny Bono' in Colorado and lived to tell about it! Woo hoo!
The other love of my life are renaissance faires and I've made some terrific friends that way (many of them on my friend's list so please stop by and see them). I've been doing faires for almost 10 years and have been a member of The Royal Spanish Court, the Adrian Empire (CA), Friends of Faire and of course the International Wenches' Guild, Local #69.
I have one beautiful 13 year-old "baby" (Scout), my springer spaniel, and I lost my golden retriever, Cheyenne (aka: "Boo") in March of 2008. She was also 13 and she developed cancer. Fortunately, it was fast and she didn't suffer. Scout and I are still recovering from that, but she was cremated and holds a place of honor on the mantle.
I love the outdoors (just not here in Nevada!), and camping and riding horses since I've been doing both since I was a toddler. The worst part about living in the desert, is there aren't a whole lot of places to do either. I miss the forest I grew up in for camping. What I wouldn't give for a TREE or two to camp under here! I literally have to drive a minimum of 200 miles in any direction just to GET to a potential campground!
我想認識：
All I want in life is a castle of my own in Ireland, a staff to clean it, a dragon, a hot Gerard Butler or Henry Ian Cusick... er, um...a hot GUY with an accent in a kilt, taller than me so I can feel like a girl, and all the horses and dogs I want. Oh, and I want to own a pub down in the village too. Is this really so much to ask??? Hmmm... might be easier to find the dragon than the dream guy!!
Grab a drink and come seduce someone in Sex Games! It's a romp through a lifetime of sexploits. Build up an Entourage of wingmen and wingwomen to see how HOT of a piece you can bring home! It's fun and free to play with your friends!
CHILDREN Probably the most frequent offence to Dignity committed by a mini-human is attempts to pick you up and lug you around.This can get quite annoying if the kid is fixated on it.One possible way of training the little monster is to run away every time s/he comes after you with the obvious intention of making The Grab.After s/he gives up or gets distracted by something else (they have notoriously short attention spans),approach him/her and rub against his/her legs until s/he grabs you.Wait a few seconds and then struggle until you are dropped.Repeat until the kid gets the idea (be patient, this may take a while).
