About Me

My name is Bekah and I am 25. I live in the province of Ontario with my husband and our 2 cats (Oliver & Toby) 3 birds (Calypso, Kiwi & Tiki) hedgehog (Zoey) fish (Derek, Meredith & George) and lovely Pug puppy (Monty).

I love to travel and garden. I absolutely LOVE Las Vegas, Kentucky and Maui. I enjoy being at the beach and go a cottage or camping every summer. Photography and beading are also a favourite passtime. I also love the art of tattooing and have collected 11 pieces since winter of 2003. I completed a large back piece in June 2008 which I am very proud of and am currently starting the work on my full sleeves.

I love music of all kinds. Some of my favourites include: Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, KISS, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Poison, Rufus Wainwright, Rob Zombie, Prince, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Idol, Twisted Sister, Daughtry, Our Lady Peace, Ozzy, Wide Mouth Mason, and my all time favourite, The Tea Party. I have had the fortune to see these bands and many more live, some more than once. I have also been lucky enough to meet Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Wide Mouth Mason and The Tea Party twice. Unfortunately The Tea Party broke up in 2005 but Jeff Martin, front man for the band, has gone solo and I have been fortunate enough to meet him on a few occasions over the last few years and I am very proud to call him my friend. Jeff grew up only a few hours away from my home town but moved to Ireland in 2005 so each visit of his back home is a very special occasion for me. I miss him dearly when he is not in town. Jeff's music has been a true inspiration to me and gives me the extra push I need sometimes to keep on going. In this ever changing world of life with Fibromyalgia, Jeff and his music are the one thing that will always remain constant and I am truly grateful that he chose to share his talent with the world. I discovered his band (The Tea Party) when I was 10 years old and remained a loyal fan ever since. The Tea Party grew to have tremendous success in Canada, Europe, Australia and the United States. Jeff's talent far surpasses many major musicians to date and not only is he an exceptional guitarist he also excels in playing the Sitar, Sarod, Oud, and Hurdy Gurdy just to name a few. I miss the old Tea Party days but am glad that Jeff made the decision to part ways with his band. He is a much happier and peaceful man now and, as I said before, I am very honored to be considered his friend.

My favourite tv shows include The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Fringe, House, Prison Break and my all time favourites are Criss Angel Mindfreak and Grey's Anatomy!

Favourite movie genre is horror. Some #1's include Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Halloween, The Devil's Rejects, Night of the Living Dead (really, any zombie move) the entire Saw series and Psycho. I also enjoy Death to Smoochy, The Illusionist, Fight Club, Can't Buy Me Love and The Prestige. My favourite actors include Patrick Dempsey, Edward Norton, Hugh Jackman, Wentworth Miller, Sandra Oh and Catherine Keener.

This March I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas and see Criss Angel in person. I attended his new stage show called Believe at the Luxor and sat front row. It was the best show I have ever seen in my entire life. Hauntingly beautiful and incredibly brilliant! I was fortunate enough to meet Criss that night and have never met anyone kinder. He is so down to earth and generous and I was so happy to be able to let Criss know how much he has helped me survive my battle with chronic pain. His constant fight to over come the odds and his positivity keeps me going even when I feel like I have hit rock bottom. I will never forgot the smile on his face and the love in his voice when we spoke and the encouraging words he told me. Criss truly is my Angel and the man who helped save my life. I was diagnosed with TMJ around fall of 2005 after a root canal I had in the summer and Fibromyalgia to follow fall of 2006 due to the root canal as well as history in my family of arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am currently taking 100mg of Amitriptyline for my Fibro & headaches and wearing a night guard when I sleep for TMJ. I am seeing my dentist and family doctor for treatment. I have had everything from headaches to jaw aches, pain in my back, legs, feet, hands, chest, Costochondritis and anxiety & panic attacks.
