Queen Elizabeth or Red

Location: Friendswood

Home or favorite faire TRF, Fourwinds, Scarby

About Me I love ren fair and dressing up and the people and everythign!!! My twin and I just got our rennie names last fair and we've been going for about 4 years now. I am Red and she is Rumy and together we are Redrum, ya know, Murder backwards... haha!

Music I honestly just love music!! I'm always looking for new cool bands! It's weird how I say I don't like one kind of music and then some band comes along with that style and they change my mind. I used to hate country, and then came the Dixie Chicks. I thought folk music was for old foggies, but then came my guys the Hudsons. What I listen to on a regular basis differs on my mood, but mostly it has lead female singers. That's because I love to sing along with my music. The styles I like are punk, christian rock, 40's, swing, salsa, blues, jazz, rock/punk, some country, folk, classical, and whatever is new and fun...

Movies Movies are great, yeah! I'm such an optimist though that I end up at least semi-liking almost every movie I see!! In fact, I hate seeing movies with those people who are wannabe critics! The styles of movies I like best though are epics, sci-fi, romantic comedy, and adventure. I honestly don't like sad movies much though, so that pretty much rules out dramas in general. However, there are some classic dramas that are worth watching and sometimes I'm in the mood for a good cry.

TV Before I moved to Houston I was attached to my television, but now it seems like I'm just way too busy. However, I do have TiVO now and so I record my shows and get to them when I can, which actually ends up being weeks later... maybe I should start recording less or something?? Well, the shows I watch are Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, Heros, and other random ones.

Books Reading is a favorite past time of mine, though I usually only get time to when on airplanes and right before bed. I've been traveling alot lately, so I've read alot. Lots of christian fiction, some fantasy, and sci-fi and jane austin and so on. I'm listening to Al Gore's Age of Reason on cd now and would recommend it to EVERYONE!!!! My favorit authors are C.S. Lewis, Anne Rice, Orson Scott Card, Jane Austen, and Don Miller. Of course the Bible is a good read too and I usually read it once a day. I do also love The Classics, Greek Mythology, the Left Behind Series, and those which I have yet to discover.

Likes sewing, dancing, reading, playing piano, singing, hanging with friends and being silly

Dislikes Um, mean people? I guess i dislike the fact that there is evil in this world and it's hard to explain to people that this isn't the only life there is...

Hobbies What is not an interest of mine... I'd really like to try everything in life once!! I suppose if you know me though you'd say dancing, singing, sewing, planning activities, ren fests, traveling, and reading are some of the main ones. What I want to try soon though is surfing, skydiving, and scuba diving. There's something about living close to the water that makes me want to try more water sports. Shoot me an email if any of ya'll want to try these anytime soon with me!

Vices Spending too much, liking things that cost to much, liking too many tv programs, being sensitive sometimes

Virtues Loyalty, honesty, and virtue

Heroes Heros are overrated since everyone is just human. The only one who lived who could really be considered a true hero in the movies and comic book way is Jesus. But as for exceptional humans who I respect, here's a list. My mom (not so cheesy if you knew her), Queen Elizabeth I (amazing woman!), Martin Luther King (I swear it's not just cause it sounds good!), Al Gore (ok, i love his book alot!!!), Mother Theresa (I can't imagine living the life she lived with such grace!), and a few others I can't think of now

What's new with you?

Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 10:52 AM [General Life Stuff]

Well, what's new with me? I've been to Madrid and Panama and then had a couple of fun weeks at home making new friends and having fun with old ones. I don't have any other trips planned for this summer, other than a few weekend trips to Austin and Dallas. I am dating alot lately too. There's one particular someone that I started dating recently that I'm very excited about... I'll let you know how it goes.

I am also looking for a new job. I am very bored with mine, though there isn't a chance of loosing it or anything which is good. I was given a co-op though until December, so training him has been pretty fun and definitely added some enjoyment to my job.

I have also gotten into working out alot again. I'm doing tae bo all the time and remembering why I liked it so much! Working out makes you feel so alive and good, I want to do it all the time!! It's amazing how when you're not working out, you don't want to at all, but when you are working out lots then it invigorates you to do it more!!!

Across the world travels

So I go to Madrid in just a week and a half. I am trying to figure out the places to visit. I must see the Palacio Real, some of the museums, and many of the beautiful cathedrals. I have also bought a ticket to the bull fighting which should be wonderful. Other than that, I hope to have tapas as they should be, and just soak in the culture of this magnificent city.

I am also planning a trip to Peru on a mission trip in late June. I will only be in the city of Lima though and most of my time will not be my own there. I hope to see a bit of site seeing in the city, but mostly I will be helping the poor children of the city. I think it will be a most fulfilling time indeed!!

In late July, I will be traveling to Australia for 10 days. I am not sure where I will be going yet, but I do know I'll be staying in Sydney part of the time. I have friends in Sydney I met on my travels last year, and I really look forward to seeing them again! I only have time to go to one other city, but it's up for debate still which one. I want to see native Australia, which is leading towards choosing the city of Darwin and the national lands owned by the aboriginals. I would like to go to the Great Barrier Reef, but since I'll be there at their winter, then I think the ocean isn't the best choice....

Now many of you may ask, how can she afford all this... well I'm sure you all remember my car accident. I am finally going to get my settlement which will cover all my credit card debt, my trip to Madrid, and my trip to Peru. The money I can save from not paying my CC each month will pay for my trip to Australia. I truly feel I have had the best of luck recently and am in wonderful spirits!! I will most certainly post pics from all my travels.
