I am here for Friends

About Me

__________________________
I was raised in Southern California and have lived in San Gabriel all of my life. I come from a HUGE family, four sisters and two brothers. I have a boatload of nieces and nephews, all of whom I love dearly. I have no children of my own, however, I do have a couple of crazy kitties, Churru and Meeka.
I love soccer! I follow both, the men and women's U.S. National teams and dig World Cup play! I began playing AYSO soccer in 1973 and continue to play to this day. My team is called the Spinoffs and we play in a women's league, WSOSGV. My team was established 1975, but I've only been a member since 1992.
I am a life long Dodgers fanatic and BLEED BLUE! My current favorite player is rookie sensation, 3rd basemen, Blake DeWitt.
During the summer, I can be found at Dodger Stadium wolfing Dodger Dogs, guzzling beer and watching my Boys KICK ASS! Bear witness to the extent of my insanity by visiting: DODGERS GAL It's a place where I wax poetic on everything Dodgers!
I'm a music lover. My taste in music ranges anywhere from Punk Rock to Classical. I play a little guitar. I’m self-taught and am a Rock Star in my own mind! I especially love love 80's music. It brings back great memories.
I am a big fan of classic movies. Screwball comedies, film noir, dramas, musicals, westerns...basically anything B & W. My movie collection is pretty diverse, but my favorites include my box sets of films by the great Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, James Cagney, Tyrone Power, John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, James Stewart and Marilyn Monroe.
I love to read…fiction, crime novels and especially biographies. I enjoy history and am a political junkie. As for ideology, well...let's just say that over the years I've slowly gravitated to the Right. As Winston Churchill once said, if you're not a liberal when you're young, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative when you're old, you have no mind...
Pet Peeve: Fools who wear Che Guevarra t-shirts!
