In no particular order: Phil Collins/Genesis, They Might Be Giants, Anna Nalick, REM, Peter Gabriel, Smashmouth, Morrissey/The Smiths, Ben Folds Five, Jim Croce, Simon and Garfunkel, Bare Naked Ladies, JC Superstar (original album), James Taylor, Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah McLachlan, Bonnie Raitt...I also know the words to way too many Barry Manilow songs, despite the fact that I haven't listened to those tapes in about 20 years.
As to what I sing, all my life I've been drawn to ballads (pop, rock, alternative, standards, Broadway, jazz, folk, even non-twangy country, etc.), mostly unrequited-love ballads, but it's only satisfying if I learn all the words.
What I listen to and what I sing to myself (or serenade my friends with) don't always overlap, but here's one:
...but it's "fall awake to the sound of my heart to your beat" and "should ever we meet on your side of the stereo"
Film
Well, since I watched Disney's Aladdin eleven times in three days (on the urging of my four-year-old boy) without getting sick of it, I must think that's a fine damn film. Do they still make movies that aren't rated G? That Aladdin guy is the sexiest thing in children's entertainment. (Sigh.)

Diploma: Professional
Major: DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine)
Associazioni: Certainly not the group that did competitive bovine rectal palpation. I have to be good in this life or I will spend the afterlife in my own personal Hell with my arm up a cow. Hmm, I wonder what the cow would have had to do to get there.

Chi sono:
I'm a small-animal veterinarian who wishes she'd had the guts to go for a career in comedy, singing, acting, etc. Or gone to human medical school and become a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Or gotten married young and popped out 5 or 6 kids instead of just the one gorgeous boy. Or so many other things... Not that I don't love being a vet most of the time. But I often need a few days off before I remember that.
If you read only one of my blog posts, please read this one.
Update!! I retook the geek test, and I’ve been upgraded!
Now:
…which is geekier than a total geek, according to the website. I’m certainly geeky enough to want to debate the semantic distinctions between “total geek” and “major geek.”

and a helluva lot of manual tweaking by Julie.
Mi piacerebbe conoscere: People who are smart, goofy, and fun, but not scary. I know, nobody thinks they are scary unless they are doing it on purpose, but those aren't the ones I'm worried about.
ADDENDUM: Hey, men, I'm here for friendships only. I'm really flattered, but please stop sending me notes telling me you're looking for that special lady, et cetera. I ain't her. Please check my profile and note that I am married (happily, thank you), with a young son, and these things mean something to me. The only guy I wouldn't mind flirting (innocently) with is already one of my MySpace friends. Yes, you guessed it, it's MySpace Tom--what a cutie!
Seriously, don't make me put up one of my ugly photos. I don't want to do it, and trust me, you don't want me to do it.

{How do they know these things? My hubby and I are both Geminis! Not that I believe in horoscopes--but when they're right, they're right!}
Why you'll love a Gemini:
Witty and sharp, a Gemini can keep up with your fast (and ever changing) mind.
You're both fun loving and free spirits. You and a Gemini can enjoy each other without expectations.
Why a Gemini will love you:
Not only can you keep up with a Gemini's sharp tongue, you can introduce a challenge or two...
You're appetite for fun and novelty will keep a Gemini interested - at least for a bit longer than usual!
No worries Julie, looks like the Facebook thing went through after all.
And you might be onto something there about closeted Jake fans in the veterinary community! I distinctly remember showing my Jake video, "This'll Take About An Hour", to some friends in vet school and they loved it.
Maybe we can get the wheels turning on having Jake be the keynote speaker for Western Vet Conference or NAVC...
Hi Julie...its been awhile since I have heard from you. Hope all is going well.
I have started a new job at a little country nursing home that already has good care. The pace is so much slower than my previous building and I dont have a lot of the issues common to urban buildings (ie theft, drug diversion; etc.)
Haha, I need to come up with more uplifting status messages. Lately they've become a bit grim! No, the celibacy is not a voluntary vow or anything! Cheers Julie =D
Hi Julie how have you been? I hope all is going well. In the process of doing laundry and putting the kids to bed thought I'd drop by with best wishes.
HOW VERY COOL!!! That rocks, Julie, glad you got the chance to meet Jake again. And you have photographic proof - even better! I hope to encounter Jake one day again myself, if not in person than at least to catch one of his shows! Cheers, Brandon
