About Me


born and raised in nyC.
i dont think i can ever leave.
but that doesnt make me a city slicker either.
i yearn for the country as well. where all the trees are at.
and im not talking about the ones in your pocket with the rolling paper.
sometimes, i just wish i can pick up and ..Go..
montana, idaho, colorado, wyoming...
i can be on my snowboard all season long, or sit back and enjoy an iced cold beer while salmon fishing.
..wouldnt that be lovely?



the only thing you really need to know is food makes eLaine happy.
if you want to be on my good side, simply feed me. =)
..the only way to a girl's heart is through her stomach.
