About Me

--- ***UPDATE*** I drive now! No, seriously, I've been driving for like three months! I mean, not WELL, but I'm getting around! So, like, wanna hang out? I'll meet you there... You don't have to pick me up! lol!

*** I'm gonna be a godmother! Steph picked me and Erin to be Nathan's godmothers! woo hoo! ***

i grew up part-time in honolulu and part-time in l.a., went to college in the midwest, lived in nyc, then moved to l.a. in 2003. i miss new york a lot, but i'm feeling better about moving to l.a. every day.

friendly & honest. not competitive. one of those save-the-world types, but a little lazy. kinda nerdy. somewhat sarcastic. easily amused.

i like baking cookies. i like hanging out in the sun. i like my job and i like my co-workers. in fact, i pretty much like life in general. and i reeeeally like those hot dogs wrapped in bacon that they sell in carts on the street. yum!

i can proofread and edit like no one's business. i can sleep anywhere, anytime. i can laugh at something over and over and over again like it never stops being funny. (it doesn't.) if you watch a movie with me, i can tell you what other movie that actor's from, and possibly who he/she's dating or his/her kids' names (even if you don't care and wish i'd shut up during the movie).

i'm bad at keeping in touch, but i'm a friend for life.

FAVORITE THINGS: new york pizza, cali weather, my niece jayde and nephew nathan.

NON-interests: coffee, wine, NPR, current events, French accents, elitism, Canadian tourism, fashion, politics, mayonnaise, manicures, book clubs, bling, diets, working out, horror movies, WWI, christian rock groups, TyPiNg LiKe tHiS!!

"There're only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch." hahhhahhahhahhaha! that's from austin powers.

I'd like to meet:

friends who can make me laugh.

revolutionaries and evolutionaries.

new people with interesting things to say or good music to share.

someone to sit and reminisce about new york with.

anyone who'll call and say, "hey, wanna go get somethin to eat? i'll be right over."

Music:
