About Moi
Basic: Native Pennsylvanian who thinks the rolling hills, plunging valleys, and endless trees make Penn's woods one of the most beautiful states, er, commonwealths in the nation.
I have been known as Stationery Queen (for my love of staples and paper clips, pens, paper and the gone, but not forgotten, and still-loved Trapper Keeper), the Endorphin Queen (who rode her bike to work), the Shredder Queen (at the hush-hush computer company), and the Burger Queen (as I love burgers with extra ketchup and the elegant Burger King crown).
My faux boyfriends include: James Dean (yes, I know he's dead), John Cusack, Oliver Platt, Kiefer Sutherland, Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman, Bill Nighy (yes, I think he's gay?), my bald eagle Andre Agassi, Alan Alda, and quite possibly the funniest man alive, Steve Carrell (I *heart* John Krasinski from "The Office," too).
Cool girls: Tori Amos, Avril (OK, I just like her songs), Kelly Clarkson, Indigo Girls.
My favorite writers: Shakespeare, Emerson, Whitman, Faulkner, Jackson (see Shirley), Bank (that's Melissa), and John Steinbeck.
Food loves: Oreo blizzards from Dairy Queen, HOAGIES (do NOT say sub to me), crab legs, filet mignon with a lovely lobster tail, oh, and Cheez-Its.
Things I do for fun: blog (duh!), take long drives while playing music entirely too loud and singing along even louder; collect Oscar the Grouch items; dance around my house wildly because I know no one can see me; wait patiently for the mailman to come to see if he brought me anything fun; write letters; send cards (sensing a theme here...); shop online and through QVC; organize my desk and files (that is, too, fun!); watch movies; see plays/musicals; watch figure skating, gymnastics and tennis; and laugh out loud for hours at my brother's typos. His e-mails are English in a foreign language's clothing.
Favorite movies: Gone with the Wind, Say Anything, Clockwatchers, Pieces of April, East of Eden, If Lucy Fell, A Mighty Wind, Same Time Next Year, The Outsiders, Little Miss Sunshine.
Favorite music: Are you kidding? I don't have that kind of time, to make that list...
Miscellany loves: rainy days, the beach, nerds, my zip drive, photography, Staples -- That Was Easy!, and of course, stationery supplies.
Odd facts:
* I doodle while on the telephone. Pictures vary: circles, arrows, outlines of letters already there.
* I quit cheerleading to focus on my schoolwork at age 9. I am nerd-o, hear me... recite the Declaration of Independence from memory.
* I win small contests (jellybean counting, send in a zillion postcards to get free tickets) at an alarming rate, but have never won the big lotto drawing.
* I have met various members of my teen-angst-I-LOVE-THEM-SO-MUCH 80s favorite The Hooters, several times. If only I could meet Mr. Cusack...
* I'm an Aries (and I'm one of those horoscope believers... well, when it's right anyway).
* My favorite Muppet is Rowlf the dog.
* I don't name my cars, they tell me their names, when they're ready (you know, like pets do... what? Yours don't?). My current car is RAV-i-oli.
* I am, uh, unique. :-)
There's more (that's more about me re: writing) here.
