About Me

I have 6 brothers and sisters. Five of them are in my "Top Friends". The only one NOT on Myspace is the youngest one, little Simmy (Simeon), who is only 3...so he doesn't quite fit the age requirement =). I wish that I could be with all of my family at once, but, since my dad lives in Maine and my mom lives in Santa Cruz, that's kind of a problem. No matter what coast I am on I miss people tremendously.
I am Abenaki & Irish, but I lived too far away from my dad and my tribe when I was growing up to learn enough about our Abenaki history & culture. So since I became an adult I strive to learn as much as I can to make up for the years growing up with my (awesome) Irish mother in California.
I can sing, swing, and wrestle. I want to be a lounge singer when I "grow up", and I once held the title of "Shyest" in my senior class in high school. The title I am most proud of though is former belt-holding champion of the Boston League of Women Wrestlers!!! They killed me off though before I moved back to the Bay Area. Damn that Calamity Pain!!! I'll never forgive her.
Other than singing & wrestling, I LOVE traveling. So far, I have made my way through (most of) the continental U.S. and Hawaii. I've also been to Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Odanak etc.), Mexico, the Netherlands (Amsterdam), and England (London).
