And these are the artists I've played the most over the past week:
MoviesThriller/suspense type stuff; smart or bizarre comedies; documentaries...
TelevisionLaw & Order, documentaries, Discovery Channel type stuff, Father Ted, and I liked Journeyman on NBC this year but that's gone now. I also have an unhealthy addiction to Wife Swap (the show! the show!), but I really don't watch much TV.
BooksI read as much as I can. I love a good suspenseful novel, a little science fiction here and there, and a lot of interesting historical or scientific non-fiction stuff. Some of the best books I have read lately are:

   Nora's Blurbs
About me:

You can reach me on Yahoo! Messenger; I'm extraborednora.

I'm 32 years old and I live in western Pennsylvania, but I'm FROM Cleveland, OH. I have a job I (usually) love with the railroad. I have two cool little boys, Jay Levi (7) and Charles Edward (5):


(I have more pics and videos of the boys in my Pics/Videos links.)

I'm definitely an atheist and I fall on the liberal end of the political spectrum.

Let's see, what else? How about some useless trivia? I don't have any wisdom teeth; I never did. I graduated from high school when I was 16. Having an extra thumb runs in my family and my son Charlie was born with one. My favorite flower is lily of the valley. I want to visit Antarctica more than anywhere else and I'm planning (and saving) to go in 5-10 years. I guess that's enough useless crap for now, eh?

Who I'd like to meet:
People into the same kind of music as me; people I used to know; other railroaders; anyone else who feels like writing me...but if you don't obviously fit into any of the above categories, PLEASE send me a message before you add me as a friend or you'll be denied.

Think about this... You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world LOVE you so much they would DiE for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A SMiLE from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special&unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you BELiEVE in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. FORGET about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a GREAT FRiEND, take the time to let them know that they are great.

Haha, no that wasnt me. Typical ns though, huh? lol. No, we take our 11a into the yard all the time, usually on one of the 100 tracks. That might have been the 11v or something that just relays on the main. Oh yeah, thanks for running us out of the yard first the other day on that 18g. I hate sitting on 908 for 3 hours waiting on hump crews to clear up ahead of us. lol. Suppose ill talk to ya at east conway one of these days
