You walk like truth through a world of fiction...

About Me

♥I love: Nor Cali, feeling impassioned by fabulous MUSIC, good coffee, traveling, Micronesia, dancing, my family, pictures, singing, being barefoot, Sanguines, cooking for friends, "drool sleep", tropical fish, Najlaa, laughing until it hurts, diving (and snuggling) on my LoveSac, zoris, hippies, smog-free skies, people who can "tell it like it is" while still maintaining some tact, going on walks, Sega, fresh salsa, dance movies (even the cheesy ones), the beach, having close friends as neighbors, playing outdoors like a kid, studying other cultures, and God's great mysteries....
Heather's 30th!
(Be the belly, baby!)
I dislike: SPIDERS, mean people (it's not just a bumper sticker), sore throats (can't sing), people that take themselves too seriously, the Wilson Phillips song "Hey Santa", burning my tongue, religious groups that "fight" to be "right" (great...let's squander our Christianity), telemarketing, divas (male or female), overtime, traffic in So Cal, the feeling that I need to buy something when I go to Target, burnt espresso, Walmart, the 5 o'clock news, Celine Dion...

My Interests


Besides music and singing? I ♥ to dance... Breaks are my favorite. I love to dance to any kind of Electronica, really. I am an amateur belly dancer. I'm also down with Hip Hop, Alternative, and other styles too. I just like to go out when I can... :) My friends and I are dancing queens...I ♥LOVE♥ to travel... During college I spent a year in Yap, Micronesia as a missionary, and I have to say it was the most awesome, life-changing experience ever. Check out my archieved travel bug blogs...I ♥ to take pictures of everything... Someday we will all be old and saggy (and that's okay)...trying to remember what exactly happened at that crazy party...well let me tell you...it's documented...I have dirt on everybody. On a serious note, I really like to put together books of the people and places that matter to me most.I ♥ to cook exotic foods... I'm always with friends on the weekends. We like to make Piadines...(if you've ever gone to Tomatina you know exactly what I'm talking about) I'm all about cheese, wine, and lots of veggies...I don't like to cook with premade items. I ♥ to go to concerts... I'm really into small venues with big talent...The Hotel Cafe is my favorite!
Bryn and I especially love going to Butch Walker or Jim Bianco concerts...In this clip I'm the last head Butch pushes down...What this video doesn't show is my earlier surprise when I look up, and realize that I've been hanging on Butch's shoulders for support in the "Fonda" pit! :)
..
I ♥ to walk... Here, there, everywhere...

I'd like to meet:

Mr. Darcy...
Seriously? People who don't view life like so many Americans do. People who are citizens of this planet: in the world, not ABOVE it. People who value other people, rather than possessions. People who aren't "cookie-cutter". People who are passionate about life, and strive to walk in gratitude...

Movies:

♥ Almost Famous (your aura is PURPLE! )

Television:

I don't regularly watch television. I do make the exception for 2 shows: LOST and Grey's.
My favorite TV show of all time is M*A*S*H.
J.J. Abrams killed Alias, but I used to love that too...

Books:

I love to read the Bible I'm not kidding. It's got everything you need and little of what you don't in there.

Heroes:

My Munchkins... True Kafel...
My other heroes are my single girlfriends...it can be a tough world out there for unmarried 30somethings!

Continuum

It's pathetic......but I had put off buying John Mayer's Continuum. I know it's only an "album",   but I had eagerly anticipated it's birth. Yet at the time it was released...I just couldn't...
