Kayaking. Art & Photography. I paint murals on occassion. When time permits, which it doesn't lately. I went to school for photography, but it has become more of a neglected hobby. I read a lot - mostly young adult/children's books, I have nothing against adult books, but someday I would like to write & illustrate children's books, so I'll just refer to this as 'practice' yeah, thats the ticket. OK, my guilty pleasure is Harry Potter. Another, more recent guilty pleasure is guitar hero. I love tattoos. I have lost track of how many I have, and I have a bunch more planned. When I retire, I may join the carnie folk as a sideshow freak. Rock on Sideshow Freaks! I have a badass little cat who is falling quickly to the bottom of the favorites list, thats what I get for naming him Ozzy, I suppose. Karma sucks sometimes. I enjoy hanging out and doing anything or nothing with my sister, my boyfriend and my buddies. My philosophy is Music, Movies, Moonilight & Margaritas. That's deep!
Music
I'm all about Rock, Punk, Alternative & such. Zep, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Incubus, AFI, Dashboard Confessional, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters, Shiny Toy Gins, Silversun Pickups, Mayday Parade, Forever the Sickest Kids & of course Metallica! I love the DROPKICK MURPHYS. My new rockband, Two For Flinching, will be on tour mid-2008. I call our style acoustic metal and we will be awesome.
Movies
THE GOONIES, You've Got Mail, The Crow, 50 First Dates, Happy Gilmore, Tommy Boy, Harry Potter, Disney's Beauty & the Beast, Shrek, My Big Fat Greek Wedding ("put a little windex on it"), Elf, Transformers, Finding Nemo ("The ring of fire"), too many to list. I'm still trying to figure out how some freak got this all listed alphabetically...can we say too much time on our hands?
Television
LOST. All C.S.I. & Law & Order (only SVU & Criminal Intent). it is because of these shows that I am a plethora of useless legal mumbo jumbo, most of which is probably wrong. I'm starting to get a bit hooked on reality tv shows & it's scaring the crap out of me.
Books
Harry Potter (how many times can I say it?). I am also a big Alice Hoffman fan, she writes the most fantastic magical, yet completely realistic, modern fairy tales. I am fascinated with fairies so I read a lot of books geared toward the supernatural/fantasy subjects. I'm trying to get back into reading again. Some good reads: The DaVinci Code (I'm not religious at all, so I read it more for the artistic revelations rather than the religious ones). Harry Potter, The Time Travelers Wife, The 5 People You Meet in Heaven, The Lovely Bones. Artemis Fowl, Twilight, Wake. Have I mentioned Harry Potter?
Heroes
My Mom & Dad. My Sister. My Friends. Wonder Woman because she wore the coolest boots...I had wonder woman underoos back in the day. Ok I still do. U happy now? U got it out of me! Anyone who has overcome diversity, helped those in need, made a positive difference in society, or followed their dreams is a hero in my book. Those are the only 'super powers' we need in this world. But hey, I suppose if you have a cape, flaunt it!

About me: Well, I don't like to brag but...I am a boxing champion and a guitar hero. HELP ME!!! I am addicted to video games. They are haunting me in my sleep, and I think I'm getting carpel tunnel. But now that I have come to terms with my problem, I am assured that I am well on my way to recovery.
Who I'd like to meet: Hey, its all good.
