I'm not not licking toads...

About Me

I love my life. It is turning out nothing like I had planned it, but I have learned over the years not to wager too much of my happiness on whether or not my life follows exactly the path that I had planned on. I am happy because I am a survivor. Over the last two years I dealt with more physical and emotional pain than I ever thought I was capable of. I have endured painful injuries, love lost, and friendships destroyed... and now that I am over it I can honestly say that I have never been happier. I love my friends, my family, my job, and me. Yay!

My Interests

Snowboarding, wakeboarding, sailing, hiking, skateboarding (I just got a sweet Arbor longboard from my man), traveling, going to concerts, being a tourist in my own city, taking pictures, lounging, cooking, quality time with quality people, air hockey, people watching, playing pool, being a dork, singing in my car, scrabble, dressing up, learning new skills, good wine, good beer, writing, talking, meeting new people, spending time alone, spicy food, sushi, language, kissing, dreaming, sleeping, and spontaneous acts of lunacy (all best when mixed accordingly)

I'd like to meet:

If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. You're just what I've looked for, come with me, and escape.

Awestruck in Grenada

So far our Spanish road trip has been absolutely amazing! We left Tuesday night and drove about four hours to Grenada. The ride was interesting thanks to how these damn Spaniards ´drive´. Most auto...

Apparently I have nits :)

Today we conquered the rock of Gibraltar, and then we were conquered by the city of Gibraltar. We decided to forego the 24 euro per person fee to be driven up to the top of the rock in lieu of getting...

The big smasher

Today we conquered the marble. We got up early and drove into Calpe to hike up Ilfach. It took the better part of an hour at a fast pace for us to reach the top. It was not easy given the fact that...

I have arrived safely in Calpe and am having a wonderful time. Yesterday I spent the day laying around reading and letting the fuzz in my head from travelling. Today was much more active, and quite ...
