About Me

Born and raised in South Florida but a West Coast girl at heart! Living in Cali and lovin' life : ) Own the cutest pug in the world... Augustus Caesar!! Former collegiate soccer player and now a Celtic Rambler. Hittin' the mountain as much as possible with my fellow chick rippers, just like in the T-ride days! I'm an experience-junkie so there's never a dull moment. Having a blast following the path set out for me and I'm grateful for every day I've got. I love my friends & family... they've made me who I am and I'm forever indebted. Lookin' to stay on the West Coast to take advantage of the endless adventure, exceptional culture, and awe-inspiring beauty.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

By day: Snowboarding, hiking, attempting to surf, soccer, bouldering, wine country, partying, crafting, gardening, riding bitch on crotch-rockets until I get the nerve to drive myself, catching the sunset, checking out live music, traveling, dining, picking wildflowers, cooking, meeting new people & doing new things... all in all, L-I-V-I-N!!! By night:

I'd like to meet:

~*~DIERKS BENTLEY~*~(even though I've met him 3 times, I can't get enough!) Reason: Extremely talented & HOT country artist/*~*DIXIE CHICKS*~* Reason: They sing the songs of my soul and they are amazing women who are not afraid to defend their political views/***TARA DAKIDES~~~ Reason: She lives the life! Ripping in the *winter*, surfing in the ~summer~ and she gets paid to do it. She's proof that being a fierce competitor and a ballsy chick can pay off. Honestly, I think those traits are all in the name : )And anyone who would say this to our dear President if he ever tried to take away our rights.Now, a little peek into what makes me love life!

Music:

A true COUNTRY GIRL with a big city attitude!! I love Dierks & Dixie Chicks, of course, along with Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr., Johnny & June Cash, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Tim & Faith, Brooks & Dunn, Gretchen, Shania... pretty much anything with a twang and a good story! Unfortunately, not the biggest country scene in the city but I know where to find it when I need it! I also fell in love with Widespread Panic while living in Colorado... seen them at Red Rocks, NYC & Tally. Great show, bad-ass music & even better crowd! Now for the randoms: Beach Boys, Aerosmith, 80's jams, Rusted Root, G Love, the Wolfe Tones, Deb Talan, the Supremes, Jack Johnson, 311, the Black Keys, Frank Sinatra, the Spinners... Life would be really boring w/o tunes

Movies:

Legends of the Fall, Grease, Romeo & Juliet, Princess Bride, Shakespeare in Love... yes, you have a hopeless romantic on your hands... Joe Dirt, Dazed and Confused, Super Troopers

Television:

Sex and the City, Sopranos

Books:

Gone with the Wind, The Bell Jar, Clockwork Orange, Trinity

Heroes:

Those, throughout history, who given their lives to ensure others freedom

Oh Happy Holiday!!

So glad for the first national holiday of the year!! But, in reflection, the man does make some good points:"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred ...
