Come on intelligence, don't fail me now...

Hello, my name is Sara, and I'm computer illiterate. I am hardly a child of the 21st century and my motto for all technology is 'if it isn't working, turn it off and turn it back on again'. This is why I've gone through so many iPods, phones and soon enough, I'm guessing, a laptop as well. I'm horribly sarcastic, but I'm desperately afraid of offending people, so I tend to be quiet for awhile before I open up.

That aside, here are a few of my favorites, feel free to interpret as need be.

Five Favorite Movies:
1. Love Actually
2. Crash
3. Saved!
4. Good Will Hunting
5. Garden State

Five Favorite TV Shows
1. 30 Rock
2. The Office
3. LOST
4. Arrested Development
5. Sex and the City

Five-Song-Soundtrack (this is like choosing between children, so I'm going with my top 5 most played on itunes)
1. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
2. What Can I Say - Brandi Carlile
3. Orange Sky - Alexi Murdoch
4. When You Come Back Down - Nickel Creek
5. Jolene - Ray Lamontagne

All About Me

My name is Mary , however, I do go by Abby, Abigale is my middle name and my first is also my grandmother's so in short I am Abby so we wouldn't get confused. Any way I had some difficulties in choosing my top five of anything. I go to a lot of movies and enjoy watching many over and over again. With my music I enjoyed a wide variety of music anything from Guns N Roses to Louis Armstrong, usually it depends on my mood. I did finally put down five tv shows, movies and here they are...

Top Five T.V. Shows
1. WIldfire
2. Stand Up Comics on Comedy Central
3. Roseanne
4. NCIS (I really get a kick out of Abby)
5. The Girls Next Door (be honest it is a guilty pleasure of others of you reading this)

Top Five Movies
1. Girl Fight
2. Anastasia
3. Eurotrip
4. Rent
5. The Shawshank Redemption

Top Five Music Choices
1. Melissa Etheridge - Greatest Hits The Road Less Traveled (Love her and all her music)
2. AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
3. Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell (album but I first fell in love with Paradise by the Dashboard Light)
4. PINK - Dear Mr. President
5. Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time (I can BLARE this and sing at the top of my lungs and some how my day can get better. It is just one of those, make me feel good songs.)

Now, you have a small insight to the mind of Abby however it is known to change without notice at the drop of a hat.
