a bit about me {lenni}

I love being on both sides of the camera, though more often than not I'm behind it.
I do many things to excess. If it's not worth doing a lot, it's usually not worth doing at all.
Two things I value very highly in life are enthusiasm and novelty. Enthusiasm about novelty... now there's my perfect emotion!
My husband and I have a German Shepherd named Havoc, two cats named Neville and Remus, and a bearded dragon named Connie.
I have a minor obsession with all things weddings. If I could re-marry my husband every year, including all the fanfare, I would do it.
I could read/listen to/watch Harry Potter all day every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it. I cannot even count how many times I've read each Harry Potter book, or seen each movie.
I love and am slightly addicted to Facebook, and increasingly, Twitter.
I love stationery, and all that that entails. Pens, pencils, notepaper, letterhead, note cards, journals...
I have a slight addiction to candy. I can rarely refrain from eating the entire bag of Sour Patch Watermelons in one sitting. And they aren't the only candy I feel that way about...
A Muppet Christmas Carol is one my favorite movies of all time. I watch it all year round--when my husband will consent to watch it with me. I can quote most of the film.
I love the British comedy Coupling--I own all 4 seasons on DVD and despite how many times I've seen it, and how well I can quote it, it still makes me laugh out loud.
Even though it's corny, I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have the whole series on DVD, and I shamelessly got my husband hooked on it too.
In return, my husband got me hooked on the Stargate: SG-1 series. We're about the finish the fourth season, and have six more to go. Someday, I hope to own these on DVD as well.
In case you hadn't noticed, there is pretty much nothing better than TV on DVD, in terms of entertainment for my husband and me.
My husband and I dream of building our Tiny House: Less than 1000 square feet, on a large plot of land, and with a gorgeous--and mostly sustainable--interior. Bamboo floors, radiant floor heating, solar and wind power, etc.
I have an unhealthy obsession with ellipses (...) and emoticons. I'm not sure I could write a single page without using one or the other (usually both).
I'm a stickler for grammar. I can't help it. Not so much the obscure grammar--like, should I hyphenate this or not--but for basic grammar definitely. Spelling, punctuation and capitalization are key.
I absolutely love pineapple. Fresh, canned, grilled, roasted... you name it, I can't turn it down. Except dried. Not dried.

This photo of my husband, Richard, and me (as well as the photo at the top of this page) was taken by a photographer I greatly admire and who has taught me so much, Jacque Lynn. You can see her work on her website: Jacque Lynn Photography
