About Me
Well, really if you want to know about me you can just read my first blog entry and follow the links contained therein.
The best thing to read would be my LiveJournal. It's updated daily.
Music
My taste in music can only be described as "eclectic." My favorite singers very in range from James Taylor to Green Day to Barbra Streisand. I have a great love for Etta James and Bobby Darin. I, also, like Meatloaf, Enya, Natalie Merchant, and Fleetwood Mac. Chances are: if you name a singer, there's at least one song by them I like.
Movies
My taste is movies is much like my taste in music. Some of my favorite films are: Gone With The Wind, Empire Records, Lord of the Rings, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, and Beauty and the Beast.
TV
I watch way too much television for my own good. I can spend the majority of the day tuned into the Discovery Channel. I, also, have an unhealthy addiction to the Sci-Fi channel. Shows that I regularly TIVO include: Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, and Boston Legal.
Books
I love reading! My favorite book is "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. In fact, I love all of Lowry's work. Other books I've been known to reread are "Gone With The Wind" by Margaret Mitchell, "Phantom" by Susan Kay," and "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien (I love Tolkien so much I have his logo tattooed on the back of my neck).
Hobbies
Online chatting, working on my website, musical theatre, music, reading, knitting.
Entertainment Highlights and Special Events for 2008has been posted to the So. Cal. Renaissance Pleasure Faire website. There are quite a few new shows and characters running around this year; including a World Record Holding Crack-Whip Master, A new Lord Mayor's Show and Queen's Show, and Merlin: The Magician. Plus, there's a lot of new things for the kids!
Another detail I noticed (that I don't remember from previous years) is this: "Welcome to Port Deptford!" Was the faire always named Port Deptford?
Some returning favorites include: The Bold and Stupid Man Show, Jousting, and The Washing Well Wenches. However, I have to ask, "Where is Sound and Fury??"
There are quite a few shows and activities that I greatly miss from some of my previous years at the Faire. The one that I always look for on the schedule (but, haven't been to the faire in over 4 years) is the Green Tree Man. Anyone remember this guy?
I also miss the giant rocking horses. But, I only saw those one year.
Well, it's that time of year again! The Southern Califronia Renaissance Pleasure Faire is going to be starting in just 30 short days!
Faire time is always a special time for me and my family. It's an annual event to which we all look forward. This year we'll be introducing my aunt to the wonders of Jousting, Bold & Stupid Men and Turkey Legs!
Also, my sister has voiced that she'd like to go more than once this year. This is very exciting for me, as I always manage to go at least twice. Maybe I'll manage a three-pete this season!
Anyway, this is just a "starter blog entry" for the season. I like to get into the habbit of typing here so that I can post all my fun Ren Faire adventures!
Well, I went to the Southern California Renaissance Faire again. I had a blast! My mom talked me into sitting and watching TARTANIC. I didn't really want to because I'm not a fan of the Bagpipes. But, they blew me away! They were MUCH funner than a funeral! I had so much fun that I talked my family into catching another performance, later in the day :) I would have liked to stay for the "4:30 Clothing Optional" show. But, Mom got tired.
Hi! My name is Stacey. Better pay attention! There will be a quiz on this later!
Okay, I'm not really that pathetic (at least, I hope I'm not). It's just...I find it very difficult to write about myself. There are so many people in the world who are far more interesting and exciting than me. I really don't know why anyone would want to read about little ol' me.
Oh well. As I've already stated: My name is Stacey Lynn Taylor-Kane. I'm a 27 year old, born-and-raised Southern California dreamer. I live in a comfortable apartment with my husband (Kevin) and mother (Judy). That might sound like a cramped and/or uncomfortable situation. But, it works for us. To each their own ;)
Living near me (but not with me) are my sister (Melissa) and niece (Carrie). I don't think a day goes by where I don't see or talk to one or the other. You'll see just how much I hang out with my niece if you visit my photo albums.
By the use of my "smiley," a few paragraphs back, you should be able to tell that I am a seasoned chatter. However, I do not believe in "l33t" or "netspeak." Personally, I'd rather struggle along with my typos and bad grammar ("Me fail English? That's unpossible!") than have to remember all the lame little rules of "internet annoying talk."
Along with chatting, HTMLing, eBaying and writing in my LiveJournal I waste plenty of time listening to music, reading, watching movies, going to the theatre and playing with my pet turtles.
Really, that's all there is to me! If you want any more in-depth information I suggest you read my journal. It's uploaded on a, nearly, day-to-day basis. Also, go have a look at my photo albums. You'll get a taste of my many interests away from the computer.
Oh, and last but not least: William Shatner is not my boyfriend! (Eh, who am I kidding? Maybe his is.)
