Right now, I live out in Arizona & am loving it! I never thought I would. I'm a single parent and as tough as it can be- it's soo rewarding- I wouldn't trade it for the world! Life has its obstacles- but I've learned to be "stronger." I'm NOT obnoxious, I am very dependable, & I work hard now, so I can play hard, later. Most see me as the "quiet girl" who really doesn't say much (I am very chill & very low-key, I don't like being at the center of attention). My true-friends know the REAL me- easy going, down to earth, charming, always laughing and still, very chill & low-key.
I love Chai Tea, driving really fast through rain puddles, watching t.v. in bed, boating & fishing, going paintballing w/the guys, & traveling everywhere (I once backpacked throughout S.Korea, Japan, & Guam). I have a 'fondness' for Salma Hayek & Jada Pinkett-Smith, I think Robert Downey Jr. is phenomenal, I adore Paul Rudd & Jeremy Piven & I think Dave Grohl is pure awesomeness, I love my San Diego Chargers (no matter what), I still cry at E.T., & I love the fact that Stan Lee makes cameo shots in most comic-movies. My favorite restaurant is probably Hana Tokyo, my happy-hour drink is usually a Long Island Iced Tea (if it was a bad week- you'll see me drinking a 7&7! lol)
------------------------
I graduated from RBVHS in '92; went to CC at MiraCosta & Palomar; enlisted into the USAF- travelled to 9 states & 13 countries in 4 years; and now I work for the Department of Defense and have finished up my Masters Degree...wow- what a ride!!
I also have a beautiful daughter named Kehaulani Setsuko- she's named after my sister & my mom.

My Interests

(Shawne Merriman- Chargers)I (still) love the Chargers!

(Chris Keldorf- NC, Tarheels)-

------------------------

------------------------

I love Kehaulani, my family, my job, and my dog, "Sam Wheat." I'm interested in down-to-earth, fun, and educated people- ignorance & arrogance, not so much. Football season is a must (Chargers & Trojans!!), college volleyball is exciting; I miss bodyboarding in Carlsbad, the Living Room in LaJolla, Moose McGillicuddy's in Vegas and Blarney's in Gaslamp. I enjoy weight-training & circuit-training...after all these years- I still play volleyball & love the heck out of it! (I'm a setter & middle-back) I've been spending a majority of my time renovating my house & landscaping the yards.

I'd like to meet:

Myself, 10 years from now.

Music:

My favorite is probably accoustic. Classic Rock- Billy Joel, Steppenwolf, the Doobies, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Steve Miller Band & Aerosmith are awesome; Alternative- Green Day, 3 Doors Down, The Fratellis, Me 1st & the Gimme Gimme's, Nickelback & Queens of the Stoneage. Every now & then I'll listen to R&B- none of that sh*t they play now- I'm talkin' Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, BoyzIIMen, Keith Sweat, Janet Jackson & Shai (u get the picture!)-I wait all week for Sunday Night Slow Jams! Believe it or not- I also listen to "some" talk-radio shows ("Coast to Coast", Art Bell)

Movies:

Devils Advocate, Chasing Amy, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Smokin Aces, Weird Science, The Untouchables, Less Than Zero, X-Men(s), From Dusk Till Dawn..Gotta love Zoolander...I really don't care what anyone else says about Kill Bill & DOGMA- those are awesome cult-classics!

Television:

How it's Made, Modern Marvels & Dirty Jobs (Mike Rowe is adorable). Pretty much anything on the Discovery Channel & History Channel.

Books:

uh-uh (only when reading to Taylor)

Heroes:

My mother, sister, Grandmother, my BFF- Tina, and Melanie Byres. 5 of the awesomest women I know!

Chasing Amy (best quote ever)
