- Favorite Lyrics: The stars are out tonight... and you're the brightest one shining in my sky. it's like every wish I ever made came true. the day I woke up lying next to you. -"IOU One Galaxy" by The Ataris (aka "Our Song") "Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make every new day seem so new." -Every New Day by Five Iron Frenzy
- Songs for Roadtrips: The album "So Long Astoria" by The Ataris: "So long Astoria, I found a map to buried treasure, and even if we come home empty handed... We'll still have our stories -- Of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts, broken bones, and all the best of friendships." "Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up... these are the best days of our lives." "Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway, put the top down, crawl into the backseat... we'll create anthems of our own tonight."
- Songs I hate: Aka the songs that make me groan, "NOT THIS AGAIN!" when they come on... as of April 19, 2006: "Because of You," "You're Beautiful," and "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"...
