Unashamed, undaunted & mostly unrepentant.

About Me

I'm a wacky yet normal gal with amazing friends/family & a man I adore. It's simplicity at its finest. If that's not enough info....continue below.
I drink wine & coffee like a fish, swear like a sailor & I eat cookies like that little Asian guy that can eat all those hot dogs for sport.
Frankly I should own stock in the companies that make Texas Pete's Hot Sauce, Mike & Ike candy and Bath & Body Works deliciously smelling potions....and I need a banana farm if there is such a thing. I eat mad bananas.
I'm also a neat freak. My house is pretty much always clean. Really my house, my car & me....I can't help it. OCD is hott!
Bascially it boils down to me being a quirky shy girl with a wild side. A walking contradiction of sorts.....confident, insecure, shy & determined. It takes the right person or people to crack the shell...but then the faucet is pretty much on.
I believe there is a reason why certain people meet. The difference between everyone I know is the relationship I have with each of them. I gain something special from everyone I know in one way or another. There are those select few who understand me on levels no one else will.
Often times I'm too perceptive for my own good....usually my first impression is right on ~ although I give people plenty of opportunity to prove me wrong. I want people to be genuine & have good intentions....unfortunately that's not always the case. I like keeping a positive attitude...it makes life much more worthwhile.....sunshine & rainbows.
Things that make me do my happy dance:
Hand holding
Pizza from Mellow Mushroom
Flowers for no reason
Strawberry beer
Overalls
Sushi & apple saki
Promises kept
Fuzzy blankets & pillows
Hot sauce on anything & everything
Silly notes
Bocce ball
Tea
Hugs that melt me
Things that make my nose wrinkle:
Being underestimated
Touching newspaper or rubber bands
Arm pits
That weird film that forms on pudding
Mosquitos
The inappropriate use of cell phones in public
People who wear blue tooth headsets 24/7
McDonald’s
Dirty dishes
Paris Hilton
Prudes
That damn show Deal Or No Deal
Wearing underwear
I'm strong willed, confident & I will tell you what I really think.
Can you take it? And more importantly, can you reciprocate?

My Interests



I have a fondness for all festivals. I heard there's a Sock Monkey Festival somewhere up North...I'm bound and determined to go considering my adoration for festivals & obsession with monkeys.
I do lots of yoga & pilates. I like to have fun while being active....although I do my fair share of laying like broccoli too.
My dream vacation is to go backpacking in Brazil near a waterfall...or go to one of those fancy smancy spa resorts you see in the fitness magazines.

The beach is one of my favorite places....ummmmm. I like cooking dinner with my man & attending random cook-offs with him. I'm wicked good at Scrabble....I can find enjoyment in just about anything really.

I'd like to meet:



I'd only like to meet people who understand that integrity is not how you act when others are looking, but how you act when no one is around.

Those who believe nothing, no matter where they read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with their own reason & their own common sense.

Music:


My musical collection on my iPod is very random. There is stuff to make you cry, stuff to make you call your momma, stuff to make you wanna bust a groove & stuff you wanna fight to. What I listen to really depends on my mood & what's going on in my life.
I believe music can do anything from mending a broken heart to helping people understand one another...among other things.

Movies:


I love going to the movies. The whole movie going experience makes me giddy...the popcorn, candy & sitting in the dark watching something great with people you don't even know. But you can't beat snuggling up & watching them at home either.
I'm partial to anything containing characters with British accents ~ like Love Actually. And I enjoy crazy psycho killer movies too. Especially if they are based on true stories.

Television:


Frankly I'm not thrilled with the t.v. show situation right now. They cancelled my favorite show - The Class. And I got hooked on Californication (BEST SHOW EVER) right before the "free trial" of Showtime ended. Bullshit! Other than that I like Lost, How I Met Your Mother, Two and A Half Men & at least one rediculous reality show sucks me in per season. I somehow get engrossed in reality tv, so I try not to watch it....resist the urge. If you let me lay on the couch on a rainy day & watch reality tv it's all downhill from there. I can't seem to turn off Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Not sure if it's him or all of his wife's soft porn I've seen over the years.

Books:

I love to read....books, magazines, etc. Especially poetry and books on quotes. I tend to walk down the isles at the bookstore and pick random books based on the covers ~ I've found some good ones that way. I read all Dean Koontz books, even though they freak me out. I'm big on books on serial killers, unsolved mysteries, criminal minds, etc. And lately I keep buying books on how to be healthier and what not. I recently read "Skinny Bitch". It's f-ing hilarious and I recommend it....although I don't follow what the book suggests.

Heroes:

Anyone who sticks to their beliefs regardless of what anyone in their life does....and those who live their lives by the ideal that anything & everything you do effects someone else....so think before you do stupid hurtful shit.


Anything but mad, passionate, crazy love just isn't for me....I want to be with someone I will still be hot for when I'm 80...and vice versa.
