About Me

umm... always been "one of da boys", sometimes too loyal/dedicated that it kills me. i'm always willing to share my opinion, even if it contradicts yours... but don't worry, if i'm down for you that trumps all. i'm a pretty simple kinda woman, and the lack of drama in my life has helped get me this far just fine. those who know me, know exactly how i do. i'm doin good and happy as ever, so no complaints here.

My Interests

beats/words (i love me some good music), people-watching, traveling when i get the chance/cash (esp. to the bay to visit my fam), doing nothing & everything w/del, kickin it w/the boys who've been down for me as long as i can remember, venting & dreaming with my girls, talkin shop w/the folks who know, target-shopping, camping, vegging over my dvr recordings, cute tokidoki stuff, etc...

I'd like to meet:

please do NOT, i repeat do NOT, ask to be my friend if i don't know you. i mean, if i wouldn't recognize you out in public or we've never had any sort of communication before.. then i probably won't add you as a friend. i'm not trying to be a snob, but i really just use this to keep in touch w/my friends and family (since i absolutely suck at calling or visiting everyone)...
