The Basics:I am a very bored 26 year old from Southern Oregon. I am terribly addicted to MLB (Go Brewers, Braves and Dodgers!), CNN (mostly Anderson Cooper 360) and most reality shows.

Required TV viewing:

MLB Network:It is pretty damn awesome, and Harold Reynolds is still ridiculously sexy. Of course, my heart lies with catchers. I describe myself as a "catcher whore". Jason Kendall, Russell Martin, and the retired Javy Lopez are the most gorgeous men on the planet.

Reality:American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List, Flipping Out, Shear Genius, Real Housewives (OC, NJ, ATL), Top Chef, The Mole

CNN:AC360, The Situation Room (if I get home early enough), John King USA, and anytime TJ Holmes is anchoring

Current Shows:Psych (Gus: cute. Shawn: hot. Lassie: DAMN), Sons Of Anarchy (Great, plus Ryan Hurst is in it), True Blood (I love you, Hoyt Fortenberry!), Glee, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Office, and Vampire Diaries

Old Shows:The West Wing (I thought I liked Josh the most, but time has made me fall madly in love with Toby and Sam), The OC, Life On Mars (US Version), That 70s Show, Reunion, Big Shots, American Dreams, Malcolm In The Middle, Dirty Sexy Money, Prison Break, My Boys, Footballers Wives, and my favorite cartoon, Jem.

Books

I really have too many to mention, but my favorite author is Ellen Emerson White. I have been reading her books over and over since I was seven, and she is the author of my all time favorite book, Life Without Friends, and her most recent book Long May She Reign is my second. Her whole series about the Powers family is incredible.

I cherish all of my childhood favorites, which of course includes the Anne Of Green Gables series, Louise Fitzhugh's Harriet The Spy series, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's Alice series, and Lois Lowry's Anastasia series. Oh, and of course Ann M. Martin, and Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley series.

Other favorites:

Arthur Golden - Memoirs Of A Geisha, Curtis Sittenfeld - American Wife, all Terry McMillan, most Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, Gregory Maguire, Jackie Collins (embrace the trashy), and of course, Anderson Cooper's Dispatches From The Edge.

Movies:

I like movies, and watch TCM a lot but its really hard to absolutely love something that is only two hours long for me. I mostly prefer tv. Of course, Remember The Titans is one of my favorites, and I will watch anything with Gene Kelly in it.

-Singin' In The Rain, Gas Food Lodging, Gone With The Wind, Frequency, The Sound Of Music, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, Lone Star State Of Mind, Rules Of Attraction, Harold And Maude

Fanfiction:

I have a lot of fanfic that I have read over the years that I love but can't remember, and don't have time to look for. Most of it is on this site. I am too lazy to add to my favorites list when I read, but two stories stick out for me that I have read quite a few times, and they are great.
