Description:
I grew up in Greensburg, just 40 miles east of Pittsburgh and have been a Penguins fan all my life. My dad raised me alone and he worked a lot so we didn’t see much of each other but almost every night he would get home in time to watch the Penguins together. After High School I went into the Air Force and was stationed in Phoenix, AZ as an F-16 engine mechanic for 8 years where I followed the Coyotes. After Phoenix I was transfered to Ohio where I currently live. I started following the Blue Jackets in the 06-07 season and hold partial season tickets. Of course I would prefer to be stationed closer to home and have Pens season tickets but I still try to make it home for a couple games a year.
Favorite NHL Team:
Pittsburgh Penguins
Favorite Sports/Teams:
The Penguins are always first on my list (along with the WBS Penguins, Dayton Bombers, and Johnstown Chiefs) and I have always had a soft spot for the Blackhawks, but I liked the Coyotes when I lived in Phoenix (even bad hockey is still hockey) and since I currently live just west of Columbus I like the Blue Jackets. Too be honest I’m really becoming a huge Jacket fan and although I will always support the Pens when they play each other, the Jackets will without a doubt always have me as a fan. My favorite team to hate is that goonsquad from eastern PA. As far as other sports I am a fan of the Steelers, Pirates, and The Ohio State Buckeyes.
Favorite Players:
Mostly the old guard, Mario Lemieux, Ron Francis, Tom Barrasso, Paul Coffey, Kevin Stevens(I still think the hit he put on Rich Pilon of the Islanders in ‘93 was one of the greatest hits of all time…to bad it backfired). As far as the young guys go I have to go with Pittsburgh’s own Ryan Malone. Outside of the Pens I would say Jared Boll, that little guy can scrap.
Music:
Just to name a few; Tool, Type O Negative, Lagwagon, The Pixies, NOFX, The Eels, QOTSA. I’ll add more when I have time.
Books:
History books and anything by Chuck Palahniuk
Movies:
Leon(The Professional), Starwars(the good ones), The Crow, The Big Lebowski, Zoolander, The Princess Bride, Anchorman, Hot Fuzz, Empire of the Sun, any historical movie (ancient history in particular as it’s my major in college)i.e. Troy, 300, Rome, etc. I could go all day…
Other interests:
All I ever do is work, family, school, sleep, with eating mixed in there somewhere.

I'm
never sad when UM loses a game, but honestly I think it’s better for the conference when Big 10 teams win their non-conference games. Looks like it’ll be up to the Buckeyes to champion the cause this year. Too bad Beanie went down, though. I’m holding my breath on that one.

Hey.....
at least you tried. It is very sad that a sicko like Glitter still gets positive recognition and money…...I’d keep trying to reach the Pens or even send a letter.

I get what you’re saying, but I did blindside him pretty badly, so I think he has a right to be that surprised and now I think he had a girlfriend when I told him I liked him, so he was mad ‘cause he thought I knew, which I didn’t. This time, I’m gonna make sure he’s single before I tell him and I’m gonna make sure he knows that I’m a big girl and can handle it if he still doesn’t like me.
