About Me

hmmm...let's see...what to say, what to say... I am dreamer, a painter, a thinker. I like to dance salsa in parking lots and taste the rain. I love to swim in the ocean and get lost in the stars. I just moved back to CA from Maui and I get homesick a lot. Just graduated from Poly last year and I'm looking for teaching job somewhere but I'm currently serving cocktails on the weekends. Paint, read, hike, and dance during the week- I know it's a pretty rough life but I'm hangin' in there My pirate name is: Red Bess Cash Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr! Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.

My Interests

I'm a dreamer, a painter, an explorer, and a quiet thinker. I love music, old movies, salsa and swing dancing.

I'd like to meet:

anyone genuine and creative- someone that inspires me
Your Birthdate: January 29
Your birthday on the 29th adds a tone of idealism to your nature.
You are imaginative and creative, but rather uncomfortable in the business world.
You are very aware and sensitive, with outstanding intuitive skills and analytical abilities.

The 29 reduces to 11, one of the master numbers which often produces much nervous tension.
This is the birthday of the dreamer rather than the doer.
You do, however, work very well with people. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
