* Things I’m passionate about

good makeup (I love seafoam green smoky eyes, winged-out deep plum eyeliner, beige lipstick, dewy skin, and the natural no-makeup look!)

good music (good beat, good lyrics, good vocals, or atleast a good production team)

good food (yum!!)

good movies (make me laugh, make me cry, make me sing along, or enlighten me!)

good people ('nuff said!)

good things !!

* Things I’d like to do before I die

live in White Rock or Tillamook County

retire to Busilac

see the historical landmarks along the East Coast and the world (pyramids of Egypt, the sea ports in Portugal, Roman coliseums in Spain, the Louvre and Eiffel Tower in France, the Sistine Chapel and Italian countryside, ruins in Greece, the temples in Burma, the tranquil waters of Halong Bay, the rainforests in Borneo, a romantic kiss at the Taj Mahal, and all over Japan)

take classes with Second City

learn how to swim/surf/bike/knit/sew/cook American food

become a nurse practitioner

oh...and marry that handsome All-American boy in a beautiful ceremony on a warm evening at the Palace of Fine Arts!

* Things I say often

"How silly!"

"Really?"

"Uhm..RIGHT?!?"

"Wait, that didn't sound right"

"Oh...Just kidding!"

* Books I’ve recently read

Uhm...Fundamentals of Nursing and Introduction to Medical-Surgical Nursing. Do those count? Other than DMC, I haven't read an actual book since spring 2006 ("The Autobiography of Malcolm X," re-reads of "Ishmael" and "1984"). Bad, I know.
