I am here for Friends

About Me

AIM - CuriousAlaskan - this is the BEST way to contact meA little bit about me - I grew up in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. As exciting and toasty as it was I decided that I needed a change of scenery for college, so I headed off to the University of Colorado at Boulder.During those years I was a lifeguard, referee, bartender, waitress, welder, newspaper deliverer, nanny etc. I managed to spend a summer in New York working with inner city kids, a summer in Washington DC as an intern, a summer in Colorado welding, and a summer traveling between Hawaii-Los Angeles-Canada-Alaska.After college (a degree in psychology and a great many debts later) I moved to LA. Shortly thereafter I was offered a job in DC that I could not turn down. There I went and here I stay. I never intended to be here for more than a couple of years.... it's been 8. I married a wonderful man in 2005 and continue to act like I'm 12, party like I'm 21, and feel like I'm 80.

My Interests

I like to snowboard, swim in the ocean, read, and do fun and creative things. But most importantly I like to meet new people and learn new things. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and though it is hard because I am so far away, I do my best to keep in touch. I am always trying to experience life rather that merely existing in it.

I'd like to meet:

my dad before he got hurt, bill cosby, anyone with an interesting personality and an open mind

Movies:

Secondhand Lions, Romeo Must Die, Grease, Lilo and Stich, Ladyhawke, Spirited Away, Braveheart

Television:

Books:

Heroes:

my parents... they have their flaws, but they have overcome much and always with love for their children. they are my ideal of what it is to be strong and have a big heart
