Once upon a time...

so i've been wanting to post a blog for quite some time and i think that the time is ripe for it now. i have a lot to say and express and what better way to do so than to just lay it all out there for everyone to see.

for those who don't know me, i am an actress of sorts, who spends most of her time burning payroll at her day job. i've been fortunate to have had a myriad of odd jobs that include but are not restricted to: nude modeling for artist, a zookeeper, a kennel technician, waitressing (once. it didn't end well for any of the parties involved), telemarketer, answering service operator, office assistant, retail, product spokesperson, data entry, and once while i worked in a city hall office, i got to name a street. that was cool.

i like: cats, the ocean (but not the beach-- beaches smell funny), laughing until i cough like a TB sufferer, chocolate, england, not capitalizing, reading so late into the night that my eyes get blurry, buying gifts, having money to buy gifts, baking, mocking people at walmart, singing a song, reading harry potter (even though i am almost 30 and i have already read the books enough times to be able to quote most of the chapters, openly making fun of my supervisors without them realizing it, jam on buttered toast, kissing, cold nights and warm blankets, farmers markets, the fur between my cat's toes, my dog's ears, when my dog knocks things over when she wags her tail, car dancing, moderate PDA, green lights, blankets with the silky edging on them, free samples, creativity, colorful artwork, mocking the rich and beautiful, dancing with The Boy in the checkout line at the supermarket, big cat rescues, butterflies, baby ducks, goats, movies so good that i cry, magic shows, painted toenails, cultural references in film and tv, interesting rocks, when you can feel the base inside your chest at a rock concert, opening nights, well tuned pianos, children who dance in public, pixar movies, disneyworld on a rainy day, misty mornings, a nice cuppa, smell of leather and shiny things.

things that i do not like: the inside of a car on a 100+ degree day, uneducated opinions, dumb email forwards, canned spinach, beaches that smell funny, being attacked by a shark, the shower scene in psycho, monkey poop, parents who won't stop their children from screaming in public, the busy tone, bosses with lower education than me, aggressive customer service people, sticky hands, humidity, girls too big to wear the tiny clothes they have on (although i do like to mock them and secretly photograph them with my phone so as to humor my friends with later), spiderwebs on my face, burned food (esp eggs), needlessly long lines at the store, poorly performed Shakespeare, and sometimes...the post office.

i'll update this blog as much as possible with photos and whatnots to entertain and delight. my two new favorite games are: Look What I Saw At Wal-mart Today! and Guess The Gender! fun for the whole family. stick around... there's more to come
