| Introduction | I'm a ... Mortician, Draker (Drake University Alum), Democrat, Useless Trivia Lover, Writer, Reader, Day Dreamer, Road Tripper, and Memory Maker. |
| Interests | Funeral directing, spending time with my republican, spending time with the Lawrence kids and the Drakers, word games, summer evenings and fall afternoons, reading "good" writing, late night walks and talks, coffee shops, traveling with old college friends, art museums, outdoor concerts and music festivals, Drake University, and magazines, (layouts, writing, everything about them). |
| Favorite movies | If it was a "brat pack film" it belongs on the list along with some other obscure 80's teen movies such as "Real Genius" or "War Games", Bourne films, LOTR films, Harry Potter, some girly things, such as: "Bridget Jone's Diary", "The Notebook", "The Wedding Date", "The Holiday", and "How to Loose a Guy In Ten Days", and anything with Billy Bob Thorton or John Cusak in it. |
| Favorite music | I'm a huge Floyd fan and I also adore U2. Anything that could be considered rock music from the 70's - the late 90's, including grunge. I am not big on country or jazz, but I enjoy classical music (especially Chopin, Dvorak, Listz, Puccini, and Mendelssohn), the blues, Sinatra, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and a few other odds and ends. |

I pretty much adore anything by Joyce Carol Oates, Sylvia Plath, Tolstoy, Asne Seierstad, V.S. Naipaul, David Sedaris, Ha Jin, the Bronte Sisters, Bill Bryson, and Willa Cather. I am also in love with J.K. Rowling and her fantastic muggle mind. |
