Personal Interests

• Music -
  • I love the stage! I used to be in every possible choir in highschool, all the plays, was president of the drama club, played the violin for the orchestra, and have taken piano lessons for more years than i can count. Ah yes, the good old days when i had the time to do all this and then some. Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky in college to have all that spare time so I became heavily involved in only one choir, the Kirkpatrick Chapel Choir. Two years out of college and i realized how much I missed singing, so now I sing with the Christ Church Choir.
  • Almost any Broadway musical
  • Any kind of music except for country and death metal.I think I have a pretty varied CD collection from Beethoven to Aerosmith to Weird Al and then some!
• Computers - currently this is my job (see below)
  • I admit it. I'm a computer geek. I can happily stare at a screen and type for hours on end and will always have a year-round glow of a monitor tan.
  • I'm a reformed spod.No more mudding for hours on end...well, almost...
    a few of the muds and talkers i'm on everyone in a while are Batcave, Foothills, Resort, and FurryMuck
  • I made the mistake of taking a CS course back at RU...i knew a comp sci major wasn't for me when i watched the sun rise over Hill Ctr one morning after spending the entire night working on a program.
  • Well, i've been promoted to Senior Consultant for the Cook/Douglass computer labs. All this means is not only do i get to handle the onslaught of questions from students taking CS110, i also get to deal with whatever the managers dish out...
  • I couldn't be happoy with one job on campus, no, not me, the eternally overextended...I'm now also a student systems operator for LCSR (fancy title for the Shell answer man of the CS and math depts)
• Sleep (sleep???what's that????)
• Pets - who could resist a cute little source of unconditional love and affection...well, okay, i suppose my parents could...
  • Cats - I have a fat lil' gray kitty who is a spoiled brat and has PMS it seems but for all the trouble she causes, there's nothing more adorable than watching her curl up on your lap every night and go to sleep...which btw, is the ONLY time she behaves!
  • Mice - i used to have many many many mice...okay,w ell , i started with two. big mistake huh? i finally cut down on all the mice because i didn't want to have them all tormenting my cat. so now the cat hides from my roommate's rabbits...all 8 of them...

    See? now isn't this cute?

  • Okay so i'm a sucker for cute little furry creatures. I can't help it...
• Anything from Disney. Check out their homepage
• Mortal Kombat - who would've guessed that lil ole me would enjoy watching people rip eiach other's heads off? well, I'm not quite THAT morbid, but i do enjoy occasionally playing, and definitely appreciated the movie. here's a link to the trailer for the sequel to the mortal kombat movie.
