Get busy living, or get busy dying.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A range of people. I miss having a great group of intelligent, savvy, and funny girlfriends to hang out with. My friends from Barnard were an amazing group, now dispersed all over creation - hopefully a new group will develop in this new locale.
As for boys? Oye. Frankly, I'd love a cool group of guys that I could just hang out with without worrying about agendas. I'm a tomboy at heart and love the ease of just hanging out with the guys. The stupid jokes, the movie lines. Plus, I swear like a truck driver. Always had great guy friends growing up and at UCLA - that pretty much died once I hit Barnard :) (except for Jon's friends, of course).
Unfortunately Necessary Addendum: How to Know I Won't Respond

    You did a search for Asian Females Your gallery of friends looks like a strip club facebook Even worse, your gallery is all stripper-looking asian females You show that you clearly didn't read what I wrote about myself

To be perfectly honest, the chances that I'll respond to anyone who's not at least a friend of a friend (of a friend), a past acquaintance or who has something truly in common (school, etc) is pretty slim (no one has that much time!), unless there's something particularly compelling about you. And, no, that's not a call for more chest shots, folks.THIS MEANS I'M NOT GOING TO RESPOND IF I DON'T KNOW YOU. I DON'T CARE HOW CUTE YOU THINK I AM, HOW INTERESTING YOU THINK YOU ARE, ETC. PLEASE DON'T CLOG MY INBOX - I WON'T RESPOND!

Movies:

John Hughes & other 80s fare, Beaches, Steel Magnolias, Napoleon Dynamite, Shawn of the Dead (yes, Rose, it IS funny), The Hunt for Red October (i have no idea why, but i'll watch it anytime it's on), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Alien, Garden State + soundtrack, i'm sure there's more, but now i'm bored...

Television:

Oh, geez...CSI, Law & Order, PBS, BBCAmerica, Prime Suspect, Everybody Loves Raymond, History Channel, Disovery/Discovery Health, Military channel, Lost/Alias (although they're losing favor), any law/crime show...and, embarrasingly enough, MTV's Laguna Beach - dude, I lived with those girls at UCLA - just as scary as I remember...

Books:

Invisible Man (if you're thinking HG Wells, you've got problems), To Kill a Mockingbird (this one seems universal amongst people I'm bound to like), Dickens (yes, verbose, we know), Oliver Sacks

Heroes:

Anyone who fights for the underdog.

My Blog

Totally Random

What's going on in the world today? Was clicking through the channels and the opening credits to Charmed was playing. It was The Smiths! What the hell? How did my beloved Smiths end up opening up Char...

Whatever happened to grammar and spelling?

Most of the people I know who are my age simply don't have the time (or the inclination) for MySpace. I was introduced to it by first-adopter friends back in its infancy, but never bothered to finish ...

Got to admit, it takes a lot of nerve...

to send an email to a random stranger. I'm actually kind of surprised about how many emails I'm getting from people (ok...more like guys) who don't know me. Kind of odd...and oddly strange to be compl...

A'Camping We Will Go...Most of us anyway!

So, Rose & I have been talking about a camping trip for almost a year now and it looks like it may finally happen over Halloween weekend. Let me clarify before anyone gets the wrong idea about what ki...

Oh, how LA calls my name...

So, I'm back from LA and I can't believe how eager I am to get back there. It's not the culture or lifestyle that I crave, per se, but the sun. It's almost inexplicable what a dramatic effect it has o...

Goin' home to Cali!

Yay! I'm off to LA - can't wait. Everyone thought it was nuts when I left UCLA to transfer to school in NYC - and they were probably right. Who leaves all that sun and all those beautiful boys for win...

Awesome blog by fellow Barnard alumna

This girl was in my class at Barnard (didn't know her, but she looks familiar). Her writing is awesome and she just got a fat book deal. She's been written up everywhere and this writing thing was jus...

Costco: Food in Bulk aka Why Life is Good

Yes, it's true, not everything is bad here. I happen to live in close proximity to a much beloved Costco. Yup, food in bulk. Heaven on earth. Mind you, I just sold a business where I was dealing with ...

Ok, so here's the story...

So, I just moved to Arlington freakin' Virginia after 9 years in NYC - Manhattan to be exact. I've started blogs elsewhere several times before, but always forgot to write entries or simply forgot to ...
