Hmm, 20 seconds? Ok. I was born in Chicago and that's where my heart is. My entire life revolves around people. I am fascinated by them, in love with them, amused by them, confused by them. I look toward the future with bright hope, observe today with speculation, and revere the past. I sleep with a stuffed animal, listen to N*SYNC, and will always hold the door for a lady. :)

Favorites
- Movies:
John Wayne, Erroll Flynn, and Frank Sinatra are the Kings of the Movie Screen. I love every one of their movies. I also love musicals because they all have a good message, especially the Gene Kelly ones. Overall, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is my favo
- TV Shows:
I'm a big fan of those mystery shows like CSI and NCIS, but on Monday I watch WWE Raw, and on Wednesday my entire family and I watch Ghost Hunters on SciFi.
- Music:
I listen to a lot of rock music because I love the ideas each artist has. My favorite style of music is Jazz, though, because I love trumpets and each melody is totally unique. My all-time unfulfillable dream is to be a jazz pianist. Oh, I like pop music
- Websites:
I do MySpace because it's prettier than Facebook, and I read the blogs of Crystal McKnob (Boobs, Injuries, and Dr. Pepper) and my uncle Bruce Parrello (The Conservative Cat). You can read them here: http://boobsinjuriesanddrpepper.blogspot.com, and http:/
- Quotes:

- Books:
My inspiration is Stephen King. He is a true visionary with a broad spectrum of ideas and emotions conveyed in what seems to be the simplest vessel. Other than him, I really don't enjoy a lot of books. I heard House of Leaves was a good book, though, and
