About Me

Things I love: the family, clean laundry, my new apartment, the smell of Coppertone sunscreen, the sound of birds chirping and lawnmowers in the AM, sunshine in Seattle, Santa Cruz beaches, the old windows in my new office, poking fun at utterly ridiculous things/people. Things I hate: mayonnaise, bitches, self-obsession and an unwavering belief that you're always right 100% of the time, which is logically impossible :) l

My Interests

Laughing, going to the beach and to the mountains, altering my appearance, philosophy, psychology, running, traveling anywhere, sunbathing between swimming and eating red vines at the lake, drinking red wines- particularly Cabernet with yummy smelly cheeses, reading, fixing things with a hot glue gun, learning new stuff.

old friends.

Music:

everything. Classical, 90's west coast rap, indie bands, 70's funk/soul, THE BANGLES, pop-punk songs... So glad I'm not too cool to dance it out - anytime.
