I'm a movie soundtrack addict....I'll see a movie and fall in love with the soundtrack. Like the Bridget Jones Diary movie soundtrack. Or Sleepless in Seattle. With music I like a variety I guess you could say.

What are your favorite websites and why?
Well I'd better put Lifetips.com at the top of my list! No, seriously -- I'm a "tips" addict. Then there is FunTrivia.com where you can learn all kinds of trivia.

Where else can people find you on the web?
What...you haven't Googled me yet? Well I'm a copywriter so some of my "stuff" doesn't really have my name on it. But you can read my articles at StepbyStepFundraising.com and Catalogs.com.

I think life is to be celebrated. Not just the holidays, but things like the first Tuesday of the month. Or "out of socks" day.

What ticks you off?
Negative people. People who complain. Oh, and most especially -- people who complain and do NOTHING about something. That's a biggie!

Any thoughts or ideas on living a greener life?
I think I have a ways to go to get greener myself. Personally I'm trying to use less things and to make things useable for more purposes. Like the cat for dusting (oh don't worry PETA...was only kidding.....).

What would people be surprised to know about you?
I like this question, I'm going to have to start asking it of people to see what they come up with. Personally I'm kind of stumped and I'm concerned with just how boring you're going to think I am. I'm a kind, friendly and positive person - pretty much that's it. WSIWYG. :)
