I AM A HUGE SMARTASS. Weight lifting, hiking with my dog, Vati, sports (basketball, soccer, flag football), basically anything that requires mesh shorts. Running out and causing mayhem in crowded bars and sneaking otu the back. Massage Therapist. I like to jump down 40 foot rock walls connected to a suspension cord. I LOVE LIFE. Literary Dope Fiend. Self-Help. Fantasy. Basically anything except stereo instructions. The metaphysical fasinates me. I like getting lost in the woods on fall days. New experiences and learning from them. Inside I'm one of those people who really think everyone is inherently good.
If you can make me cock my head and tense my eyebrows when I look at you. If my eyes start to follow you across the room becuase you are an enigma to me. You have my interest. If you are kind and respect me, you have my compassion. If you earn my trust, there is nothing I won't do to help you. If you are all three things, then there is a good chance you can have me if you want me.

House of Sand and Fog, Magnolia, Braveheart, Adaptation, basically something with a decent plot and well developed characters, the makings of any good piece of fiction.
Try to stay away from it except for Six Feet Under and the National Geographic Channel. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a HUGE dork and love it.
