My First Blog

Well, welcome to my blog page! I'm not really sure what exactly I'm going to do with it yet, but I figure I'll use it to keep you guys updated on what's going on in my life. You probably already know, but this way, it keeps me entertained when I get bored, which seems to be often lately. Plus, I just like to express myself, and sometimes I feel like I can do that more online than I ever could in person.

Anyway, I guess I'll start off by telling you some interesting facts about me that you might or might not already know:

• I am an amateur photographer. Hopefully I'll upgrade to a professional someday.
• I love corny movies. The cornier, the better. (i.e. Napoleon Dynamite, Kindergarten Cop)
• I am horribly forgetful.
• I speak a foreign language. It's called sarcasm. What a wonderful language!
• I cry during the sappiest of movies. No matter the situation, if there's sap of any kind, I bawl like a baby.
• I love Hocus Pocus. It's just not Halloween until I watch Hocus Pocus, then dance around my living room pretending to be Winifred Sanderson!
• I love hair bands from the 80's. Even the painfully bad ones.
• I love Chuck E. Cheese. I actually volunteer to take all my little cousins! I think I have more fun than they do!
• I'm not what you would call a girly girl. I mean, I wear makeup and dress nice sometimes, but how many girly girls do you know that watch Power Rangers, football, and action flicks?
• I don't like preppy guys. I prefer more laid back, funny, even nerdy guys. I feel more comfortable with them.
• I am horribly forgetful.
• I can quote most of The Princess Bride. I've probably seen it over 100 times. That, and the Labyrinth.
• I love guys with guitars. (Check out Jack Savoretti)
• I love cult classic movies, like Office Space and Donnie Darko.
• I love music lyrics. I think you can express things in song that you could never express outright. I keep a list of my favorite lyrics, ones that express how I've felt at one time or another. At this point, it's about 10 pages long.
• I hate paying full price for anything. If I go shopping, you'll find me at the clearance racks!
• Instead of being rich and successful, I'd much rather be a stay at home mom with a houseful of kids. That's my dream! That, and I want to open my own photography studio.
• I enjoy being lazy every now and then, but hate being bored. Contradiction? I think so.
• I believe iPods, Tivo's, and cell phones are about the greatest things ever invented.
• I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, we're friends for life!

Well, I think that's about it for now. Check back tomorrow, and I'll let you know all about the wedding and post some pics!
