About Me

I'm an infamous starter of projects but challenged in the finishing category. I love retro designs (especially www.annetaintor.com) and all things handmade. I like to be crafty when I have time and love to read. I like cooking but the desire to do it seems to come and go in waves. I also have a freakishly strong--if not consistent--desire to organize.

Favorite Music

I love music of all varieties but especially rock, pop, and R&B. My all time favorites are the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, almost anything 80's, Seether and Staind. I also have a newly acquired taste for classical music.

Favorite Movies

I love 80's movies. Some of my favorite movies include: The Breakfast Club, Pump Up the Volume, The Jerk, Donnie Darko, The Wizard of Oz, Office Space, Natural Born Killers, The Princess Bride, What Dreams May Come, Clue, Edward Scissor Hands, Rebel Without a Cause, The Neverending Story, Serenity, The Secret of NIMH and Heathers. I could go on and on...

Favorite Television

My current favorites are Law & Order CI & SVU, Supernatural, Castle, Lie to Me, NCIS, Criminal Minds and Bones.

Favorite Crafts

I like all things crafty!! I have tried crochet, ATC and collage. I really just like trying a little of everything.

Comment: Hello Brooke, Thank you for a thought provoking prompt to respond to in your journal. I enjoyed reading your introduction of yourself and it sounds like you and your daughter have a wonderful and fun relationship. Your job sounds very interesting, but I wish I could have heard a little bit more as well as about the class. When I still was able to work I was a workaholic and had to work on balancing work and the rest of my life. I look forward to adding to your journal and then passing it on to my next partner so you can get more entries, I really love this swap idea.

hi brooke, i'm your partner for "leave a nice comment", and since i see that you like quotes, i will leave you with a few of my faves.."every exit is an entry somewhere else" tom stoppard and since we are both challenged in the area of starting projects but not completing them, how about this one..."small deeds done are better than great deeds planned" peter marshall. have a great and wonderful day!
quiltncat on May 13, 2011:

Hello :) Love your profile - have you seen Bluntcards? They are a lot like Anne Taintor, but a little nastier, lol. I am also a starter of projects - it's terrible! Part of why I joined Swap-Bot was to force myself to actually FINISH things. I thought maybe it would help start a new habit. Haha it's not working. And I also love 80's movies!! What a terrific time to be a teenager. Have a great day! -Shannon (Leave a Nice Comment Swap)

Yes yes. I finished the hunger games! I loved it million times over!!
teresamarie on May 13, 2011:

HI! I'm Teresa - I'm in the "Leave a nice comment" swap with you! I so wish I had organizational skills! I can never find anything in my craft room! But it's not for lack of trying though! I agree with you about pens - when I find one I like, I try to buy all of them!! I really like how you've listed the things you like! I think we're alot alike - except for the organize part! LOL I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Thanks for the poem, it was wonderful.

dragonfly on Sep 21, 2007:

Thanks for sending the poems in behalf of the flaker of the poem swap. They are very cool!
user1689 on Sep 18, 2007:

Thanks for sending your favourite poems, sorry I can't rate you for it other than the star!

I agree that it would be nice to keep the swap going, although it might not be long before I forget what poem I used for this one! My favourites change all the time...
