About Me

Just a Hawaii gal who likes to stay in touch with good friends.

My Interests

My family. My friends. Reading. Writing. I'm also a news junkie.

I'd like to meet:

Nice people.

Music:

Everything. Eagles, Kid Rock, U2, Pepper, Gwen Stefani, Jack Johnson, John Cruz, Natural Vibes, Black Eyed Peas, Scissor Sisters, Madonna, John Meyer, Ozomatli, Culture Club, Pearl Jam...I could go on and on.

Movies:

I haven't seen many movies lately. I usually only get to see kids' movies...But, in the past, I've seen and enjoyed "The Last Emperor," "Crash," "Joy Luck Club," "Heat" and so many more that I can't remember right now...

Television:

CNN. I also like to watch everything else: "Lost" (of course), "Pushing Daisies," "ER," "Miami Ink," "How I Met Your Mother," "House," "Heroes," "CSI:Miami," "Desperate Housewives."

Books:

Anything by Lois-Ann Yamanaka. I'm trying to read more non-fiction: "You: The Owner's Maunal...," "A Short History of Nearly Everything" and "Marie Antoinette The Journey."

Heroes:

Jesus, my parents, my grandparents, my husband (how he puts up with me, I don't know...)
