About Me

"To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead." -Bertrand Russell"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." -Albert EinsteinI've recently realized the value of having friends around me who enrich my life and uplift my soul.

I'm working on it, though. I'm tired of looking back, especially when it is so much more satisfying to look forward. I'm a book-nerd and love hanging out in any coffeehouse that will have me...Same goes for the gym-I'm an offical gym rat. I value good friendships more than anything and believe quality is better than quantity. Some things I love: coffee, running, yoga, dancing (any kind), mint&chip icecream, dirty martinis with extra olives, sushi with lots of wasabi, back massages, cats, movies that make me cry, any motorcycle that isn't a harley, mini coopers (the real "mini" minis, not the new frickin' HUGE "minis"), live music, sunny mornings...

And Office Space, yeeea, you'll need to come in on Saturday, yea...oh, and although I HATE Nicholas Sparks, I love The Notebook. I know, it is horribly sappy, but it makes me cry every time. And it makes guys cry...(I've seen it with my own eyes). And the best mini-series in the world is "Band of Brothers", directed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielburg. Trainspotting, Closer, and I'm sure there are a million more I just can't think of right now.
