A little bit about me and other stuff

I’m Nancy. I became a Tori fan in 1996, through the wonderful album Under The Pink. Ever since then Tori has been a huge part of my life and she has brought me loads of wonderful experiences, friends and memories! I started this website in 2002, but didn’t really know anything about webdesign and pretty much made it a copy of Here.In My Head. In 2004 I got my own webaddress, which was exit75.nl. After a few years I didn’t know what to do with the site any more and got rid of it. But months later I started to miss working on the site, registered a new domain (springhaze.com) and turned it into a Tori icon site sort of thing. Which it still is today.

Below are five layouts I’ve used for the site, plus the current layout.

Favorites

My favorite Tori album is still Boys For Pele, with From The Choirgirl Hotel as a close second. The Beekeeper and American Doll Posse are both albums I’m, sadly, not too keen on. Some of my favorite songs are Horses, Icicle (I think it’s just one of those songs I’ll never get tired of), Cloud On My Tongue, Space Dog, Carbon, Pretty Good Year, Caught A Lite Sneeze, Muhammad My Friend and Doughnut Song.

Some of my favorite Tori videos are these three:

Book & Movies

Besides Tori, I have other things that interest me (yes, really!). In 2008 I discovered painting for instance, and love it! I also love reading books, some of my favorites are The Neverending Story, all the Harry Potter books, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, Sophie’s World, The Discovery of Heaven and loads of John Grisham/ Nicci French/ Karen Slaughter books.
I also love to photograph. It’s something I’m loving more and more!

Also love to watch movies and TV shows. Some of my favorite movies involve A Beautiful Mind (such a great movie!), Erin Brockovich, Contact, Amélie, Rabbit Proof Fence and Cast Away. Some of the TV shows I really enjoy at the moment involve Lost, Judging Amy, Buffy and The X-Files.

Ireland & the rest

In 2002 I went to Ireland for 3 months and ever since then it’s been my second home! Killarney is my second home town for sure, and one day I’ll buy me a house in Kerry/Dingle!

If you don’t find me reading a book, traveling, teaching, watching TV, photographing, daydreaming, or doing any other useful thing, you can find me online. I’m a member of the wonderful FTW forum where I like to post from time to time, I have a Flickr account where I sometimes post photos I took and a YouTube account. And recently got my own domain for my photos: photographicdreams
