About me: I'm an international spy working for the Russian government. I have countless hours of combat training, and sleep with a gun under my pillow. I'm also a world-class ping pong player, and have a rare collection of coin wrappers. Heh...not really. I'm really just a geek.
...Although I actually did use to sleep with my airsoft gun under my pillow.
I'm HaldirAragorn on AIM; IM me if you're bored or something. And comment on my pictures, dammit! Don't make me come over there. Oh, and if you receive a mean comment on your profile, it's more than likely Ian hijacking my account and being weird.
INTERESTING (AND SLIGHTLY NERDY) FACTS

PLAYING CATCHPHRASE
Ian: "It's a kind of meat that comes from a cow...it's thinly sliced..."
Me: "Ham!"
Me: "Those little swimmy things in the ocean..."
Me: "A kind of tree that turns to stone..."
Me: "It's one of the states that I forgot. No wait, it's a different one."
Ian: "You can see through this."

Me: "They're those people that come to your door..."
Ian: "Midgets!"

A MOVIE I MADE IN COLLEGE
Who I'd like to meet: Robert Downey Jr, Craig Parker, Bono, Dolph Lundgren, Michael Hurst
Wow, I really don't write back much to anyone really. Just knowing you're there and alive and happy is great. I'd love to stay in touch all the time, but there's always so much to do everywhere all the time. Now you're married and starting your own family and we'll probably never see each other again. It's not like you're single and in college and need some perspective, some guidance that I only I can deliver, along with some much needed occassional comedy. I hopre that Ian of yours takes care of you, provides the occassional moose meat, and lifts your cre8ive spirits. But really don't take it personally If I don't get back to you immediately. I mean, I only just read this from you and it's 2009 now. 6 months late. I'm on facebook more, but even then I don't chat with everyone on the list.
By the way, i love that wedding picture of you, but surely you must have a more recent photo of you being domestic, doing dishes, trying to squeeze into your prom dress, mowing the lawn, that sort of thing.
In case you might not notice, I'm in funk. I just resigned from a teaching position, my finances are on the brink, and my house is a mess. And it's too cold to go outside a lounge with my chickens. Life's kinda crappy today. I'll write back in ceery tones soon.
Jilly bean! Do me a favor and send me a message w/ your phone number. I lost my phone and all my contacts so I have to relist them. Thanks MUAH happy new years!
Vampire love story. Teenager friendly but pretty fun read. I think you'd like it. The first one is Twilight and the Author is Stephani Meyer. Get a copy!
I can't decide if you'd like the Twilight Series or not so i have to actually consult with you instead of guessing. If you haven't read them i suggest the first one. I thought of you in light of the movie coming out, and I thought it was weird enough that my dear jilly bean might be into it! lol
Yea! It might not happen now, I'm not sure. We haven't heard from his manager in awhile. But if it does happen that will be awesome. I remember the signed posters!
So I'm late, of course, but happy anniversary nearly a month later! How was the first magical year Jilly Bean!? I still miss you. I fear I shall never see you again. I'm going to Mass in Oct though to see hanson. Maybe I'll see a former hanson too!?
Chumbawamba?! Hahaha nice. That is GREAT music! I am doing well, living in Portland... trying my best to work on photography and design work :) How are you??
I've been ok, mostly. The ups and downs of love and romance and the not working of those.. So, otherwise.. I suppose I have been ok. Done wit college! So thats something.
See you engrave things on jewlery . . . I permanently put it in my skin haha both valid ways to remember things! I found the quote on your AIM a year or so ago and loved it.
I already figured out how to spike my coffee and it only took two days of working in the school system. . . ahem. Hi Jill! Got new tats yesturday and it made me think of your parents, at the wedding, asking how many more there were. lol. Millions. Anyways we haven't chatted in millenia. It's a travesty.
hi jillian! haven't talked to you in a long time. sorry about that, i had my baby girl so i've been really busy with her. if you want check out my photos i got some of her on there.
