We came to Redbud filled with hopes and dreams of a better life. And basically, we've seen those hopes and dreams crushed and battered before our very eyes.

United States
Fashion and hairstyles from the 40's, food personification, true crime, buying vintage-inspired clothing, pencil skirts, grey sweaters, very spicy food, collecting kitschy and unusual plush toys, playing Scrabble with Rob, studying trivia books and learning useless information, watching Rob play the drums and his video games, Vargas girls and modern-day cheesecake/rockabilly models, going out to sushi with Rob, cooking, singing, playing the keyboard, and binge drinking.
Music
Yes, please. Heavy on the big band, with some extra Queen and Rush on the side, drizzle with Brad Paisley and garnish with Marilyn Manson. What do you mean that won't taste good?! Scrape that damn hair metal off the backsplash and spread it on a Motown muffin, will ya? I've got a musical stomach of steel!
Movies
One for all my levels of maturity: Requiem for a Dream, Funny Farm, Story of Us, Lolita, La Vie En Rose, The Craft, Slums of Beverly Hills, Austin Powers, Anchorman, Addicted to Love, 40 Year-Old Virgin, Saw, Napoleon Dynamite, Empire Records, The Craft, Slingblade, Shaun of the Dead, Borat and whatever else I can get through without falling asleep.
Television
No Reservations (or a Cook's Tour) with Anthony Bourdain, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, The Soup, Food Network, America's Best Dance Crew, Best Week Ever, Jeopardy, City Confidential, Notorious, Cold Case Files, The First 48, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Heroes.
Books
See Amazon wish list... Cookbooks, trivia, cat-related, anything about serial killers, vintage fashion/hairstyles, decorating/painting, anything that can make me a nicer, more well-rounded person. I've found that my high school yearbooks scare the eff out of me.
Heroes
My dad: for inspiring me and encouraging me to play music, and always being there Rob: for enabling and supporting my love for music, writing, and cats; being the driving force behind our collaborative creative efforts; making me feel good about myself; relating to my pet peeves; protecting me; allowing me to buy silly things like Shawnimals; absolutely being the greatest at everything he does; and most of all, putting up with me My brother Chris: for how much he has and always will take care of me. Sorry for being so bad to you when I was younger.
About me: My life is being with my best friend and husband, the funniest and sharpest man on the planet. We live, work, and make music together; he plays the drums and guitar while I sing and (try to) play the keyboard and banjo. Rob and I can spend every waking minute together, and for the most part, do. We occasionally play local gigs with our friends, collectively known as the Small Pox Mountain Boys. It's a dream to get paid to do what I love, but I can't quit my day job. It pays the rent and feeds the cats. (And you will never meet bigger "cat people" than Rob and me.)
Raised to appreciate music, I love good ol' rock and roll--but my heart is with jazz--and most recently, I've an affinity for country. I'm blessed to have a family whose blood runs with the same passion for the arts. I'm an old soul and often told that I'm "too young to know" a lot of things. Materialistic things that make me happy are shoes, sushi, and steak.. not in that order. I still don't know how to get myself to practice my banjo. My passion for writing and grammar is a point of pride. I'll correct your speech and I'm an asshole. But I like cats with bad grammar. I'd like to say I'm tomboy-ish, confident and adroit, which consequentially makes me girly, apathetic and just wrong. But I can tell the difference between chorus, tremelo, phaser, and flanger. Anyway, I can honestly say I'm truly happy and love my life... cheeeese.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to somehow tell Neil Peart that I wish he wouldn't look so sad all the time. I also think these people would make good pals: Howard Stern, Kathy Griffin, Dave Attell, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, Anthony Bourdain, Cedric the Entertainer, the Fab Five, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Dirk and Lerxst, and... Freddie Mercury's teeth?
