About Me


"I'll make you smile for the simple fact I'm good at it. I'll make you smile just so I can sit and look at it."
Any given Saturday afternoon around 4pm I will most likely still be in bed. If there is one thing you can count on it's that I never lock the car door after getting out. I am habitually late for everything. Whenever I get really excited about a story that I am telling I tend to talk too fast for most people. I have never tried a vegetable I didn't like and almost always prefer to eat them raw. I get a kick out of taking the cellophane off of newly purchased items. My memory is remarkable in the fact that I can recall not only times, but dates and where people were standing when the most unimportant events occur. Too bad for the people at the bank that I have a hard time remembering my account number. I was born with straight hair and I blame my afro entirely on puberty. Instead of just getting a cell phone plan with enough text messages included with my service I pay my bill twice a month. Pickles are the greatest thing ever next to string cheese and V8. I go out entirely way more than anyone ever should. Tequila is never a good idea.Cute socks make me happy. I am an excellent driver, I just don't have a license or a car. Yelling at the television, especially during sporting events, is kind of my thing. I hate to argue but I love a good debate. My bowling shoes have the perfect amount of glitter on them. Gamblers run in the family. I have a mediocre knowledge of square dancing. Wish there was something more spectacular or amazing I could tell you about myself but thats all I got.

My Interests

I have dreams of bringing home the gold.

Mini post-it notes. Rhythm and Blues. Cute socks. Clean sheets. The other side of the pillow. Refrigerator magnets. Hip Hop. The ocean. Random outbursts. TBMs. Zoe. Dancing. Snowboarding. Happy hour at Dragonfish. Ferry rides. Discussing the nothings that make up everything. Road trips. Section 315. Honesty. Red Team. Breakfast at Pesos. Art. The produce section. Comfortable silence. Humor. Spreading my wings. Learning to fly. Tara ‘isms. Rambling. The journey. Bitchfest. Dependability. The Lost Boys. Hair bands that don’t break. The color clear. Cheerios. Hats. Kickball. Loyalty. My music library. The Free Hugs campaign. Quality over quantity. Game night. Artifakt. Big waves. Sunshine. Being. Breathing. Living. Loving. Learning. Listening. Holding. Consoling. Supporting. Laughing. Crying. Reading. Writing. Recognizing. Watching. Communicating. Me. You. Him. Her. Us.

I'd like to meet:

Friends from the past, people who want to be an active part of my future, anyone who can laugh at themselves, or those who will come with a heavy contribution to the ridiculousness that is my life. Otherwise, no vacancy.

Insert shameless promos here...
