About Me

I'm a huge dork who loves my friends, family, MUSIC and having new adventures. Moved cross-country from a beautiful but very small fishing village on the Atlantic to a warm, sunny beach city on the Pacific. What can I say, I'm willing to go to drastic measures to avoid snow! But if I can't dig my toes in the sand and smell the salt air when I feel the need for a taste of home, forget it.
Cape girls (noun, adj. adv. basically can be anything you like) describes a unique breed of young women like no other. They are born and raised to swim, drink, play in the sand, and live life to the fullest like it's always summer. Their life is your vacation. They know the cape is still fun in the winter because they aren't just tourists. They know every beach there is and have partied on all of them. They can go drink for drink with anyone at anytime. They take drinking games as serious as the olympics i.e THEY WILL WRECK YOU at whatever game you throw at them all while looking cute in a bikini. Find them at the beach, on a sailboat, by a bonfire, but wherever you find them make sure you don't let them go. CAPE GIRLS ARE A KEEP! ~ UrbanDictionary.com
my Cape Cod playlist... why I am the way I am.

I'd like to meet:

Well I signed up for this before moving to stay connected with friends from "home" but every person I know in Cali is on it too and now I'm addicted. I moved to San Diego, CA from Cape Cod, MA over three years ago on a whim and haven't regretted it for a minute (well, maybe once or twice...hah). So talk to me if you know me... but don't ask to add me as your friend if I have no idea who you are! This goes for bands, too. Believe it or not, everyone on my "friends" list is someone that I know - often quite well - in real life. Yay for living on two coasts. :)
