I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm an easy going lipstick wearing femme with no qualms about getting dirty. Intensely serious at times, but am a big dork at heart. I feel comfortable in most situations. I consider myself an introvert, but am not shy. I feel incredibly passionate about music. There are few things that can move me the way music can. It's the fabric of every aspect of my life. I also love the experience of being immersed in foreign cultures/lands/languages and ways of life. I'll try most things once. From 4 hour french meals to pho in the TL, I'm really into food. Trips to the French Laundry are always highlights in my year and I will lament Arnie's ban on foi gras. grrrr... My friends and family are the most important thing in my life. Spontaneous, loyal, sarcastic, silly, independent, intelligent, (insert more adjectives here)....Thats me. Oh, and one more vital thing: I hate text messages.

My Interests

photography, travel, music, literature, movies, beach bumming, history, joga bonita, lazy sundays doing crossword puzzles, biological sciences, food, motorcycles...
