Food: Pasta & Shrimp at Red Lobster "Heaven.....i'm in Heaven -Frank"
Singers: Marsh Hall, Terry White, Rachael Lampa, Stacie Orrico, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey, Take6, Harry Connick Jr

Marsh is from Lexington, KY but bounces back and forth between Nashville, Indy, Chicago and Lexington doing studio stuff. This white boy has got some SOUL! He's done a massive amount of studio work and sang backup for Clay Crosse along with the chick who used to be in Avalon (with blonde hair). Terry has sang with many groups including The Sound and Truth. Since leaving Truth, he's become one of the main studio singers in Nashvegas. He's done BGV's on many people's albums and just finished recording bgv's for Donna Summers...doesn't that rock? IMHO, he sounds like a caucasian stevie wonder. He's got SO much talent and will probably go solo within the next 2 yrs I'd guess. Rachael is a newcomer to CCM and is only like 14 yrs old. She has an incredibly high chest voice and can easily match all the licks/runs that Christina Aguilera does. She and the next chick were discovered at Estes Park, CO at the Christian Artists Seminar. Stacie Orrico is like 13 and still in braces. She most reminds me of Lauryn Hill and her new album is FUN! I've liked Mariah Carey since day once and she truly has an all around incredible voice. She needs to wear a bit more of clothing and improve her reputation a little. Take6 takes Manhattan Transfer to a new level. They always have been and always will be. Harry Connick Jr is my favorite singer because he most reminds me of ol blue eyes Frankie Sinatra [plus his wife Jill Goodacre used to be the VS model and is HAWT!]. Smooth as silk baby! [harry's singing that is!! lol]

Movie Stars: Kevin Costner, Catherine Zeta Jones-Douglas, Claire Forlani

I've always liked Kevin Costner as a person and actor. I have every movie he's ever made and am now collecting his DVDs. There's something that draws me to him, like he's the good neighbor next door who would help you if you needed something fixed. He made a big mistake with Bridgette Rooney but I guess we all do in other ways. CZJ is just flat out HAWT!!!!! I know she is the most attractive person I've ever seen. Claire Forlani is VERY pretty, but CZJ is just flat out sexy! [cool bucket of water being dumped as we speak]

Academic Institutions: TLCA, Anderson Univ, Goldsmiths, UK
Clothing Designers: Kenneth Cole, Donna Karan, Gap jeans, Structure, Daniel Cremieux. I try and look for sales with KC, DK & DC because their clothes are just WAY TOO expensive at retail prices.
Clothing Style: anything solid colored , any shoe with big heels, shirts with fly collars, wide legged pant, my new flared pleathers!!! awww yeah baby!
TV Shows: Will & Grace (oct 12th), The Practice (oct 8th), Once & Again (season premiere oct 24th)

If phrases like this crack you up, then Will & Grace is the show to watch. "Honey, your life is as simple as that blouse you're wearing". I like watching The Practice because the good guy usually wins and I actually feel like I'm learning about law (hope they follow the book!). I like watching Once and Again because it's the only show I feel is pretty realistic as far as real life experiences go. I like how they have the character explain how they're feeling; there's great chemistry between billy campbell and selah ward. I can't believe Billy Campbell only washes his hair once a week. I'd do that too if I thought my hair would look like that hahahha
Car: Honda Civic

I like the Civics because they're very practical and efficient, just like me!! LOL I had to ask myself, "What do you want in a car?" My answer was: great gas mileage, no repairs like ever, cd player, keyless entry and splash guards. I could've gotten a Camry but Civics are MUCH cheaper and Consumer Reports always rate them pretty high.
Honey: Sue Bee

One time when I was in the kitchen heating up some Eggos, I was getting some honey out of the cabinet when it hit me. I thought I had came up with THE GREATEST marketing phrase known to man. "Sue Bee or NOT Sue Bee...that is the question!" Wasn't that clever? I was thinking they could finally at least have a decent commercial with a catchy slogan thanks to me. ok so anyways, I emailed them my idea and they basically responded back by saying "no". I was crushed but that's ok; it's still my honey of choice.
Drink: Ale-8
(aka Kentucky Swamp Water)
House Plan: the Augusta Plan with Matt Foster and Main Street Homes
Cake: Red Velvet Cake

Churches: Eastland Church of God, East Side Church of God, Southland Christian Church

My home church has been and always will be Eastland Church of God in Lexington, KY. I was saved, baptized and attended there for 18 yrs. When I went to college in Anderson, I attended East Side. I LOVED the music there and Pastor Kerry's preaching my last couple of years there. The level of musicianship there was outrageous. Everyone was practically a studio musician, toured with an artist, or wrote music professionally. Most importantly, I got to watch them actually live what they sang about. Todd Tyler, Trish Feagan and Missy Butler had been trying to get me to join HIS Choir at Southland for a long time. I was in HIS Choir for 2 yrs in high school and absolutely loved it. Most importantly, I met a whole new group of people who have really supported me down through the years. Todd and I emailed back and forth a little while I was in college and he wanted me to come back and be a part of the music program at Southland when I graduated. Thanks to him, I've had the opportunity to sing solos, be on praise team, in choir, encounter singers, and direct the Junior High Choir, Living Proof. It was a big decision but I know God has me where he wants me right now. Wednesday night at Encounter is my favorite service to go to, followed by Saturday nights at 5pm.

Worship Leader: If you like praise and worship with a groove, check out Tommy Walker. I got the chance to hear him live at Willow Creek Summer of 2000 at the Worship Arts Conference. I was blown away by his humility and authenticity. Nancy Beach interviewed he and his pastor and asked him questions like "What keeps youat a smaller church in L.A.?" Honestly, if he didn't feel like that was where he was supposed to be, he'd be at Willow Creek in a heartbeat :) He was very personable up on stage and during the interviews. It'd be cool to visit his church one day and experience that. He's written TONS of songs we sing and wrote Crystal Lewis's "Lord, I believe in You"; she's also a fellow Californian. He's got a new album coming out with Integrity Dec 2000 or Jan 2001.
