People are always asking to learn more about me (why??). So, here's a little glimpse into my psyche. Since you've been to my homepage, I bet you'd be surprised to learn that I'm a huge figure skating and baseball fan. LOL. I love sports in general, though skating and baseball are my favs by a big margin. I can't remember a time when I wasn't a fan of these sports, and my love for the sports grow each year.

I'm from the Philadelphia area, home of winning sports teams and fantastic skating coverage. If you're not hysterically laughing right now, then you're obviously not from here. ;-) I consider myself a loyalist...I like all my local sports teams, no matter how they perform (and considering none of the 4 sports team has won a championship since 1983, you can imagine what I go through.) I'm a huge Phillies fan...no matter what the result, I can't pull myself away from being a fan of the team. The team has a lot of great young players that I love. This past season really tested my patience, though!

I can't remember a time I didn't love to watch skating. I've never actually tried it myself, and people can't believe that for some reason. I don't even know where to begin on my feelings for skating...I just love it, and can't even explain into words what I love about it. I could say I love the combination of the athleticism and artistry, but that still doesn't explain it all. To me, Michelle Kwan embodies everything I want to say about the sport, but can't express into words. I like many different skaters, but none like Michelle. I've had the privilege to attend some of Michelle's most amazing performances. 1998 Nationals remains the best week of my life, and Michelle's 6 1/2 minutes of perfection will always stay with me.

Other than sports, I'm also a TV and movie fan. My favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I absolutely love this show. It never gets the respect that it deserves, even though it consistently lands on just about every critic's "best of the year" list. The acting and writing is wonderful, and the show is always going places you don't expect. How many other shows, especially one that relies on it's witty writing, can pull off a show without dialogue for 30 minutes. I got so many of my friends hooked on the show. ;) I really miss it (and the spinoff, Angel) from the airwaves. Some of my other favorite shows are Alias, Without a Trace, CSI, and Amazing Race (the best reality show by far!) There were a lot of good new shows this past season, and I became addicted to Lost, Desperate Housewives, and Veronica Mars. Just a few months ago, I finally got addicted to Gilmore Girls. And I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of shows!

I've never been a big music fan. I listen to pretty much anything, but I was never a big fan of any particular singer. Until about 2 years ago. And now I don't know what's happened to my life, and I'm a major Clay Aiken fan. Yes, I'm one those, stop rolling your eyes. I've seen him in concert over 20 times now, and every time it gets better and better. I love taking pictures of, well, anything, and Clay is no exception. Feel free to check out some of my pictures from his concerts.

I used to go to the movies all the time, but I haven't had the chance the last few years. The last great movie that I saw was The Sixth Sense. I just love this movie! Haley Joel Osment was amazing, and I wish he earned more awards for his acting in the film. My other favorite movies are Spiderman, Chicago, Titanic, Star Wars, That Thing You Do!, and Evita. Yea, they don't all fit into one nice category.

Well, I think that's pretty much all I want to share (this got a lot longer than I actually expected.) Now you know a lot more about me, and can now just enjoy the sites instead of wondering about the webmaster. As I wrote earlier, I'm a college student, so I have limited time to do anything. If you e-mail me, I might not be able to get back to you for a while. Please understand. But, I do read every message, so don't hesitate to send me stuff! One final note, the scroll over picture for this page that's on my index page...that's not me! It's just a stock photo. That's all, now go back and enjoy my sites!
