I am here for Friends

About Me

Some say I'm a bit sarcastic - What? Me sarcastic? Yeah, some days there might be some truth in that... I'm also pretty anal and picky about weird things. A crooked picture on the wall can really bother me. And I hate finding misspellings or improper use of grammar in printed materials. I can be an annoying perfectionist sometimes.

That said, I am still a pretty nice girl and I have a variety of interests! At the top of my list is travel. I enjoy weekend jaunts to Vegas or the Bay Area almost as much as traveling abroad and experiencing new cultures. I rang in 2006 and 2007 in Brazil and Peru, respectively, and I went to Kentucky for my first trip to the Kentucky Derby last May! And one day soon I would love to take a road trip from the northeast US down into the south.

I also am a great spectator of fine sports. I am a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and I bleed the True Blue and Gold of my beloved alma mater, UCLA. Go Bruins!

My Interests

Come find me at the tables in Vegas. I love to gamble! A terrible habit, I know, especially for someone who rarely finds herself a winner...

I also like sushi, as you can tell from my wallpaper.

Better still is eating sushi in Las Vegas!

I'd like to meet:

Any fun and cool people who like doing things like exploring their local surroundings, flying kites, gambling, driving fast, wading in the ocean, or partaking in other types of random daily adventures.

Music:

I listen to many kinds of music. The only thing I can't get down with is country. And I am one of those crazy drivers that is always belting out some song as I drive around town. Occasionally, I'm a little embarassed when someone catches me, but it doesn't usually stop the tunes...

Movies:

Monsoon Wedding, Hustle & Flow, Party Girl, Best in Show, and many more.

Television:

I love television! Among my current favorites are Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, and (only slightly embarassed to admit it) American Idol.

Books:

I love to read, but haven't found much time for it lately. A couple of my favorites are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Namesake and Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Heroes:

All those who live their lives to the fullest, enjoying and appreciating every day. Rest in peace, my friend Eugene...

My Blog

I love exclamation points!!!

Well, I didn't realize I loved them so much, but I looked at the subject names of my previous blogs and they all end with an exclamation point. I guess I must have thought I was announcing something r...

My pupils are still huge!

And, no, it's not because I've done any good drugs today. I had my eyes dilated around 11 am, and my pupils are still unusually large. And that means that my vision is still blurry and I am hypersensi...
