GO BIG OR GO HOME...that's right I said it!

About Me

I follow through. I hate being late. I am not a fan of complacency nor passive agressive behavior. LOVE to travel, been known for many a spontaneous road trip. Enjoy camping, hiking and just about any outdoor activity especially if it involves fish and me catching fish (it happened once, it was a catfish, I threw it back), but am not able to go as often as I would like. Sometimes I miss tea time...mmm scones...I enjoy cooking A LOT and for a vast amount of people. Birthdays are VERY important to me. I give good presents. I am loyal to a fault. I have been told I have a high tolerance. I prefer DOING rather than TALKING; I believe actions speak louder than words. Political aspirations on the horizon. Somedays I like LA, A lot...other days.... I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
