About Me

I hate these stupid about me thingies.........How the hell can you describe yourself?! I like long walks on the beach, moonlit strolls, puppy dogs, and warm spring days. Turnoffs include poverty, starving children, and anything depressing...But really, I was born in SoCal and lived there until I moved to Reno at the age of 8 and was forced to stay there until I was 14, at which time I moved to Fair Oaks, CA. Lived there until the ripe old age of 23 (?) and then moved to Austin. Most people on here from Sac would probably know me as Rik McCluer's sister or that fat chick from High School. Yeah, I must get some old pics of me because I've lost about 200 pounds. Yep, you read that right. Currently I work for the man in the guise of a major wireless corporation and am planning on going back to school for something and owning my own retail cookie bakery (think Mrs. Field's) within the next 5 years.Ok, I like sports, working out, shopping which I do way way way too much of.......Hiking, reading, watching the teevee, spending time with those who don't annoy/bore/bother me and I find stimulating and make me laugh so hard that stuff flies out of my nose and sometimes I just like to be.

My Interests

See about me.Right now I'm all about Running....training for a Half Marathon in Feb or March...so that is pretty much consuming my life right now. Shopping Working out Reading Shopping Working out I'd like to learn how to knit. Going out and having a bit o' fun. Music Movies although I'm picky. Shopping And finally......... Working out.

I'd like to meet:

Um, yeah.........Anyone. But if you're tall (6 ft or above), dark haired and pretty decent shape then we can talk. And maybe do more ;).

Movies:

Braveheart........Mel needs to so marry me! I luuuuve him! Se7en of course, Shakespeare in love, Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Deuce Bigalow, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club....if it's an eighties movie I've seen it and probably loved it........The Usual Suspects, Shrek 2! And so much more........I can talk movies all day long.

Television:

Yeah, ok.........right now I only really watch Reality TV. Shameful I know it, but that Damn Mark Burnett is an evil genius!

Books:

Classics: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Madame Bovary, Great Gatsby, A Separate Peace, Hamlet, Great Expectations, anything by Jane Austen..Chick lit: Yes I like it. There are some good ones out there...Whitney Gaskell, Jennifer O'Connell, Melissa Senate, Melissa Banks, Lynda Curnyn, Ariella Papa...stuff that's funny and real, and sometimes the girl doesn't always end up with the hunky guy at the end. She ends up with herself, which is how it plays out sometimes.Non fiction about society and how it affects us...Myth of Male Power, Odd Girl Out, Inside the Thin Box, Hold me Close Let Me Go.David Sedaris rocks. That is all.So does Laurie Notaro. She is as funny, if not funnier than David Sedaris. I've literally spewed stuff while reading her books she made me laugh so hard.A Heartbreaking work of Staggering Genius is pretty much that...although it was a wee bit long.I'm always on the lookout for good books though so hit me up with any that have stimulated you!
