I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a laidback girl with a sharp wit and a big smile. I can have a blast out on the town or just staying in and playing dominoes. I went to college and had my whole life planned out, but now i'm on to plan B. I like to write, read, knit, work out, play pool, and on occasion hit up the bars. I would travel all the time (i miss living abroad.. seems like forever ago now) if i had the money, but until then i'm stuck in texas.

My Interests

Knitting, music, working out, reading, NPR, poetry, playing pool (i will kick your ass), water polo, NBA (Spurs most of all), hanging out with good friends.

I'd like to meet:

Fun, down-to-earth people who know how to enjoy and savor life's adventures.

Music:

The Killers, Atmosphere, Sheryl Crow, Outkast, Eyedea, Immortal Technique, Brother Ali, Typical Cats, Sage Francis, Murz, Dose One, Liz Phair (the old stuff), Ani DiFranco, the Traditions, Anticon, Deep Puddle Dynamics, Modest Mouse, the Beatles, Pink (i went to elementary school w/ her!), REM, They Might Be Giants, Guy Forsyth, Ben Folds Five, Kanye West, Alicia Keys

Movies:

The Muppet Movie, the Usual Suspects, Pumpkin, How High, Friday, Pump up the Volume, Mindwalk, Fools Rush In (cheesy, i know), Drop Dead Gorgeous, Garden State, Eulogy,

Television:

That 70's Show, The Daily Show, Dave Chapelle Show, Reno 911, Gilmore Girls, Aquateen Hungerforce, The Dead Zone, Third Watch, The Colbert Report, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, although i only really watch two or three shows a week.

Books:

Life of Pi, The Time Traveler's Wife, Everything by Paulo Coelho (the Alchemist and By the River Piedra... are the best), The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Album, Mists of Avalon, Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut, Angels and Demons- and the divinci code, A Heartbreaking work of staggering genius by dave eggert?, minor characters by joyce johnson, Out of eden by mark vonnegut and others i'm sure that i can't think of right now.
