About Me

I am patient (most of the time), practical, passionate, a good listener, soft spoken, and easy going. I like to have fun, try new things, and stay busy. I can be stubborn, being a Taurus and all, if I think I am right or with continuing things when I know they are not a good idea. Such as, getting a tea or coffee at Starbucks when I know that I am sensitive to caffine and will feel wired and sometimes sick after. I love living in Santa Cruz because of the beauty and laid back relaxed feeling, but enjoy visiting friends and my sister in the city/SF because of the excitement and places to explore & enjoy. I enjoy what I do for a living since I am able to meet great people and work in an incredible environment, but it can get stressful and emotional at times. I love to travel, plan trips and new adventures with friends, such as my annual river rafting trip. I am a planner, but like to do things spur of the moment and love the element of surprise once in awhile.

My Interests

Trying new things, but sticking with things I love (Starbucks Ham breakfast sandwich...yum), watching tv/movies in bed, experimenting with new cooking recipes & preparing my favorites, long walks or runs around Capitola & on East Cliff Drive, the smell of rain & ocean breeze, the sight of a sunset over the ocean, partying with almost all my friends in one room (my house warming party '06),Dancing, childhood memories with my sister and family motorhome trips across the U.S./Iowa, dining out- especially seafood/sushi, going to Giant's games, live concerts, fishing/camping/boating, a nice glass of riesling wine/Stoli & 7/cosmo martini, sitting by a fire, animals-especially the fuzzy/hairy ones eventhough I am usually allergic to them.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who supports me through tough times, will talk to me and help me problem solve while I am indecisive or as I like to call it- weighing all my options, will laugh alot with me (and sometimes at me because I am not perfect), and most importantly have a positive outlook and make the best of things to enjoy life to the fullest.

Music:

I enjoy light rock, pop, most R&B, some country, world music- reggae,Cuban,Mexican Salsa. For working out I listen to R&B or Techo to get me pumped up. I love to dance to R&B and rock. I have been enjoying going to live concerts lately.

I don't read too often.
