I like witty quotes. They're like little drops of wisdom or advice or encouragement
you can carry with you.

Music
ALL genres can be tolerated. Some are loved, some are merely appreciated. 80's anything Rocks :) what can I say... I loved it back when M-TV was what it was meant to be and they actually played music!!
Movies
I do love love love Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Predjudice!
BUH!! I have the memory of a gnat when it comes to movies! I can watch a great movie today and forget it tomorrow or hate it today and like it tomorrow.
"The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time." — Friedrich Nietzsche
I have my chick flick moods but for the most part I love action, suspense, shoot-em-up stuff. I still adore a great scary horror flick... but those are no fun without someone to hold on to! NELL is a favorite as well as Overboard, Save the Last Dance, and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I'm not big on what's hip, in, or gets the 4*s to the critics.
Television
TV is my companion... on almost all the time. Listented to more than watched.
Books
You mean... type on paper... bound... between front and back covers? Hmmm... how 'bout magazines? Time, Electronic House, HOW, HM & Maxim .. (their Photoshop work is excellant!)
I actually HAVE started reading again. Chris would be very dissapointed in me... I still love self-help (self discovery) and true stories... but there is some improvement!
Stumbling on Happiness, 100 E. E. Cummings Poems, BLINK (again), and Writing Your Own Autobiography (still). It's a long freaking list... but it's a goal to get through them all.
Heroes
My heroes are 1] my best friend, 2] Andrew Vachss, 3] EMS [cops, firefighters, medics, etc) & GIs (past, present, and future)
I have surely lost my *muse* in life, but Kai (her journey on TBL and her drive to succeed) has at least sparked a bit of a fire within me in the inspiration department. Kai hold the record for the most weight loss by any female on TBL thus far!!
If there was any chance I could get on TBL season 4, that spark would be a bon fire... no... a RAGING INFERNO as my #1 goal in life, for that duration, would be to break her record by acheiving a 150# loss!!!

About me: You can now leave me a voice message if you please! If you're tech savvy like that... if you wanna leave a message here instead of just calling me on my cellie and talking to me directly! LMAO!
Please ADD YOURSELF to my map - lemme know where you B!!
From whence do I hail?
Originally from Michigan (Kent/Ionia Counties) -- I will die an Alaskan. If it wasn't for Fairbanks though - I'd live in Colorado - so if I disappear from here - look for me there! Pre 1988 (pre sports, pre military) I'm Sue Rosenberger. With a last name like this it is *going* to be shortened. "Rosie" is how I'm known now. **Unless** you are grandfathered under the "I knew you before '88" clause or are married to someone who is... please... do not call me Sue! It makes me cringe... If you do, I will have to call you "Mother". Thank you! [ more about Fairbanks, Alaska ]
I have regular websites of my own and wordpress
blogs or independent blogs that can be read by aggregators and I prefer
to use that social software vs. this. So... real stuff is elsewhere and fun stuff is here.
Technology moves quickly and I've been dabling here and there long enough
that my *shtuff* is spread out all over the place...
Newer "me" photos, many of which are here, can be found on TooTabu, but these are still pre-Flickr
... check out the MoneyDick article by Daniel Morgan on the Science
of MySpace... it's pretty damn interesting - if you're at least a little tech-ish, geek-ish, or have a remote interest in real social networking that is.
I have tons of photos on Flickr! I have two pro accounts there (why two? I don't know - I think I was confused)... and I see no reason to duplicate them all here... so come look!
I would like to meet Prince Charming! My Knight in Armoured Leather shall roll up in a massive black truck to rescue me... LOL No - Seriously - I'd like to meet people I have... *** lost track of,
*** people I used to know and would like to know again,
*** and new folks... locals... people I can do things with... here... especially this coming winter when it's cold and dark. Oh ... and when the summers are short but light all night and someone who loves dogs and wants to go camping with me!
*** People who realize I have a *life* and it's not digital - okay - much of it is digital.. but not always!!
LOL Months may go between contact *of substance*, doesn't mean I like you any less... life happens.
I'm not into changing the colors, layout, etc. every other day... as a matter of fact, I like the simple look I have... but I'm getting bored with the content. So... I suppose I'll change it from time to time and add a link - like the one above - to an image of the old content. Afterall.. I see NO point in doing all this work and adding all the content just to delete it! That's my pack-rat nature I suppose, and my need to keep records!
Tidbits...
Smiley Faces Make me Happy!!
..
Come on! Think About it... you can even hate the smiley if you want to... but if you are in a pissy mood and you have these things around you, it does alleviate the piss & vinegar... you try bitching at something so simple and cute that just sits there smiling back at you... you can! You might break it, or cover it, or even blow it up... but if you don't run away from it, you'll smile back at it or in spits of it... eventually! So.. I need smiley faces around me! ;)
I love my dogs!
My dogs are all rescues -- always have been. I'm not a believer in breeding unless one has a damned good reason (very few of which I've heard so far). Nor am I a big supporter of spending a shitload of money one probably can't afford on a purebred - unless they have a damned good reason (very few of which I've heard so far). Both of my rat-dogs are purebreds... I turned down the papers because they mean nothing to me, while healthy, happy dogs mean everything.
There are PLENTY of animals that need homes who are being euthanized because they're not 'cute enough' for people who aren't cute enough to have them!! Yeah - I suppose you could say I kind of have strong feelings about that. I'm not going to judge you for disagreeing with me - that's what makes meeting people who are different than ourselves all the more interesting - the differences. My dogs all have pages at Dogster.com... < -- LOOK LEFT , follow The Kids' link. The page shows mine (past and present), and mother's dogs (past and present), and I still have three pages to put up! We're (Sarge actually) the host of Fairbanks' Fabulous Fur Machines - a group on Dogster.com. If you're a Cat Lover, then go to Catster.com!
I've never really gone out *looking* for a dog, and I've never had an actual *puppy*.... dogs with special needs usually find me... long before I have ever found myself dogless! The closest one to a puppy was Emit - he was 6mos old when I got him, but he was already 75lbs. I suppose that's what eventually made me warm up to these little Rat-Dogs that I have now... because they're like puppies that never grow up.
If I ever did wake up dogless one day and I could choose any dog I wanted and it would magically appear as one that needed a home, I would actually LOVE a pair of Mastiffs. I'd love a brother/sister team of the biggest, sloberiest, brindle mastiffs out there... and hope to gawd they come with enough money to upgrade my truck to carry them in too! LOL

Oh - and BY THE WAY - I delete ALL comments that aren't REAL comments once they get old or if they stretch out the layout!

REAL comment - eg: words from your fingers will stay a lot longer! ALL APP INVITES ARE DELETED IMMEDIATELY! I like the invites but see NO reason to advertise them!
