About Me

Some things I like: camping, hiking, the smell of pine trees, clean air, soft breezes, feeling free, fat sun beams shining down on my face, drinking beer and hula hooping, dancing through rain drops, riding my bike across the playa, chasing after the sunrise, holding hands, butterflies in my stomach, girls in sundresses, baking cakes for people I love, wandering through the craft store, Trader Joes, family gatherings, going to Giants' games, kitty cats curled up on my chest, pianos, percussion sections of marching bands, driving aggressively through the city, singing in my car, making up rhymes, being a goof, making my friends laugh, late nights, doing David Lee Roth kicks off of furniture and hurting myself, dressing up in costumes, making jewelry, peeing in alley ways, shocking people with my perversions, flip flops, lip gloss, taking naps, being part of a team, swimming in the ocean, falling in love.

My Interests

Burning Man (4 years), art, sewing, knitting, reading, rollerskating, SLEEPING, hiking, camping, painting, travel, skiing, buffalos, vintage pin-ups, Alphonse Mucha, fashion, interior design, bowling, nature, kitties, sushi, mythology, wine, vegetarian recipes, comedy, psychology, vampires, pirates, Egyptian pyramids, the paranormal, aliens, history, classic and concept cars. I'd really like to do some more traveling. So far I have been to Mexico, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Hawaii (a few times), a bunch of other states in the U.S. ( I use to live in Miami), and the British Virgin Islands.
