About Me

  • About Me: I love to sing, I love to song write. I love being in recovery, because it's SO much better than struggling. I love the people who love and support me unconditionally. Recovery would not be possible AT ALL without them. I'm here to return the favor of unconditional love and support to all the people I love and care about. I love my hunny Daniel- I wouldn't be here without him! I love my birthdaughter Lottie. I still miss my dog Abbey (1995-2005), but now we have Petey! I'm a Mac fanatic, who loves scrapbooking, drawing, painting, and photography. I think I've already filled my ghetto box even though I'd ramble more about other stuff if I could.

  • Songs I hate: "I hate everything about you"- Three Days Grace, "I'm Henry The Eighth I Am" (Never get this one in my head), basically anything ANNOYINGLY REPETITIVE. And a rare exception (because I do in fact enjoy listening to Rasputina, except this ONE song) is a Rasputina song called "Crybabies"- it makes me cry my eyes out because it's about two toddlers that sneak outside and die out in the snow because of hypothermia.
  • Guilty Pleasure: "AAAALLLLLLLLLL THAAAAAATTT JAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZ"... "Everytime We Touch"- Cascada, Various "Dirrty" Christina Aguilera songs, and corny cheesy old 90's europop like Ace of Base and Aqua. Also, dancing like crazy to BSB remixes... that's mad great too.
  • Songs I repeat the most: "Welcome"- Christina Aguilera, "Everytime We Touch"- Cascada, "Soar"- Christina Aguilera, "Siberia"- Backstreet Boys, "Dizzy"- Goo Goo Dolls. "Black Balloon" - Goo Goo Dolls,
