About Me

Well, where to begin. Some of my friends call me 'Sunshine'. Optomistic, a little crazy- actually- I guess yea, I can be kinda wild at times. But I'm growing out of that stage. I'm a college graduate- and can chalk myself up as one of those statistics that do not go into the area of their major. I decided against my lifelong dream of lawschool. I love event planning and have decided that this is the career path I would like to pursue- if I have the time, I will plan it. Actually, I'll plan an event even if I don't have the time. I love the feeling of bringing people together for a good time. I'm loving, kind, and always have a shoulder to cry on. There is only one person in this world I despise-most everyone else is alright in my book. I will give anyone a first and second chance. I love traveling and spent 6 months in London with my girl Kat (Katie and Tonya DO EUROPE! http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyavernon/ ) Family and Friends come first and foremost. Stupid people piss me off. At least show some level of intelligence if you are going to take the time to talk to me. I have a puppy named Sir Digby and he is the shit. I over-think things most of the time- I don't mean to, that's just how my brain works- nothing can ever be simple. I work hard for the things I have, and even harder to ge the things I don't have but want. LOL, so I think I'm pretty easy to get along with and to please. I am a hopeless romantic that is head over heals in love with my adorable boyfriend Brian. Athletic, musical, a bit of a tomboy, and I like attention. I live my life with no regrets because if I hadn't done the things I did, I wouldn't be who I am today. Sort of a smart ass, but never over-confident. I speak what's on my mind, even if you don't want to hear it. I'll argue you to a wall, even if I might be wrong, I'll convince you I'm right. Sunsets are the most beautiful thing in the world to me and I HATE wet socks! Hippies make the BEST grilled cheese! I am really an open book, not shy~ you ask and I'll tell.

I don't have time to watch TV- but when I do, I love CSI - Las Vegas, Will and Grace, The Simpsons, and The Family Guy

Books:

I am reading the 100 Best Love Poems (before I go to bed) and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman (on the train to and from work). My all time favorite is The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, and anything by John Grisham, oh and the Hobbit books (i had to read the entire set before I would watch the movies). America: The book by John Stewart was funny as hell and is now perched on my living room coffee table for all to read.

Heroes:

My mother. She is superwoman I swear. Anyone that knows her, or knows how hard she works to make everything happen-she is a God sent angel. I don't know what I would do without her.
