About Me

Letseee...I have the most psychotic, vivid, cracked out dreams every night. I hate sour cream, soda, coffee, smokers (stay away!) fake people (you stay away too!), bad movies, cheapness, man whores, burping (ewwww), showering (really), hangovers, people who say they are going to do something and don't do it, and sororities/fraternities. I have an 82 year old roommate (I take care of her, she's great... and relax, I have my own room people) I am genuine and somewhat sarcastic. Death scares me. I tend to procrastinate, my rooms normally a mess (so if you come over and my rooms clean, you are special god damnit!) I want a monkey for a pet...if you know how I can get one, let me know..I hate dogs (the fat Chihuahua we have in the house is the only exception), love cats (I guess I am kind of like a cat in someways, maybe thats why I like them so much...if you rub them in the wrong way, watch out!) I am a people person, but I also like having time for myself to just be alone. I hate going shopping with people, and I like going to the gym by myself. When I go with people, sometimes I get mad at them and think really bad things about them in my mind...I don't know why. I am very forgetful...last night I left the freezer open and everything melted...damnit! I think the lady I am taking care of should be taking care of me:) I'm probably going to have Alzheimer's when I'm old. My roommate is a hypocritical religious bitch (hey, you would be mad too if someone ate your Cherry Garcia when you were looking forward to it..what a pig...and the whole thing! In one sitting!!) I am in love with Che Guevarra. I love to party. I like fashion, music, art, DANCING, politics(learning about dictators), karaoke, throwing a party for no reason, I like to get really dressed up and go out on special occasions, spend all my money, and then not be able to afford food the next week. I spend all my money on clothes. I don't have a car...I would rather spend the money on traveling. I work in an optometry office, I want to go to Optometry school...but most of all, I just want my own business. I can't stand someone telling ME what to do. Don't ya just hate that! (I was seriously considering dental school before, but the thought of putting my fingers into someone elses mouth that stinks and might not even have any teeth makes me sick) I don't want to have the same career my entire life...I want to take some risks, but most of all, enjoy what I do! To tell you the truth, I really don't know what the hell I want to do, I might change my mind next week, and thats ok!I really like this quote..."An incredibly lame, off-the-wall cliche or tired idea may actually be the springboard for something opposite or entirely new...if you close one door before the next one is opened, something profound could fall away." (quoted from a true classic...a 944 magazine)Classes I am taking this quarter: BIBC 102: Metabolic Biochemistry BIMM 120: Bacteriology MUS 12: The Opera VIS 22: History of Modern Art..

My Interests

MUSIC!!! piano, voice, learning guitar and drums. Also would like to learn to play fiddle, sax, trumpet, accordion, and harp. Synthesizer would be awesome, but one thing at a time:) I don't really like mainstream music too much...I like anything new and different. I especially like small venues and live music. I would never be able to tell you specifically what kind of music I like because my taste is constantly changing. It also depends on my mood. I like to hang out with friends and go to clubs and lounges. As long as the companies great, it doesn't matter where we go, but a good DJ playing some great house music helps! I can always find something to do in the Gaslamp District that suits my mood, but I prefer TJ over the gaslamp any day. Who wants to leave the bars by 1:30 anyway! More time to dance!I love all kinds of dance; salsa, belly dancing, tap, ballet, tango, cumbia, swing, etc. I am a very active person.... I try to go to the gym six days a week, and I love it. If anyone needs to get rid of stress, this is the way to do it! I feel so much better after a hard workout. I am also trying to eat healthier...but its hard because I love food and I like to eat out. I believe that as long as its in moderation, you can eat whatever you want.I like designer clothes and vintage clothing. I hate wearing what everyone else is wearing...unique and different is interesting! I am really picky. I love accessories...anything loud and unique. I also like interior decorating...I am considering doing that someday, along with owning my own boutique somewhere in LA or New York.I love to learn new things...I never want to stop learning! I wouldn't mind staying in school forever (don't think my parents would be too happy about that:), I am having the time of my life and meeting so many great people. I love the beach, I like to cook, especially having dinner parties with friends. I love learning new languages and traveling, but so far have only been to Europe and Mexico.

I'd like to meet:

Positive, inspiring, hardworking, intellectual people who like to try new things, love to dance, have a love for music and art...anyone who can make me laugh!
