I am here for Friends

About Me

Me? Hmmm, lets see, its not easy describing yourself is it? Well, here it goes: I love chicago, the beach, every summer "fest". Who doesn't love Chicago's 102 degree heat w/ keg beer and cover bands? : ) Time for summer concert series too!! I'm counting the day's until summer. I enjoy spending time with my close friends. Those same friends would describe me as fun/funny, energetic, attractive, I play well with others, genuine,a bit sarcastic, non-judgemental, generous, open, caring (seriously, I asked them ; ) I rescued a great puppy & I adore him (and his sister). I recently realized he's not so adorable when he eats your shoes! I love to travel. Usually to visit family in Ireland, or to Mexico if I can score time in Puerto Vallarta. Most recent trips: Nuevo Vallarta (so killer to get away to Mexico the day before a snowstorm in Chicago!) this Dec., Dublin Ireland for the St. Paddy's Day parade and Ireland vs. Italy Rugby tournament, and Barcelona Spain, to check out the works of Gaudi and Miro up close (and of course the sangria and shopping!). I like to check out local bands at the Double Door, the Hideout, the Empty Bottle, etc... any pub/bar that's down to earth, not uptight or filled with "plastic people". Sometimes grab the Reader & pick out the strangest name of a band & go see them play (usually happily surprised!). I'm still learning how to be a better person, I try to always "do the right thing"... I could stand to read more, write more, listen more, learn more... I'm basically a sweet & sometimes wild, happy person. Hot Layouts

My Interests

Hanging out, reading, writing, painting, working, drinking with friends and family at a few favorite irish pubs, traveling, beaching, working, sleeping, movies (not necessarily in that order). I can't think of ALL of my interests (who could?), they change from moment to moment. I also volunteer for two pit bull rescues, so besides fundraising,finding homes & more hands on things, I attempt to educate the human race against BSL! Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) bans and/or kills dogs that have done nothing wrong-never shown aggression but killed because of what breed they look like. Bad owners cause agressive dogs. Sad sad sad - but very true & very real. Please people open your eyes- these dogs arent just pets to some people, to some people they are an integral part of their family, to others they mean as much to them as if they were their own children, to some children- they're best friends... what would you say to a child when they ask "why do you have to kill my best friend, he didnt do anything wrong?" Bad human trainers and dog fighters are the problem, not the breed! Something to think about... They are the problem, not the breed! ..

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a great sense of humor. No liars or junkies (sorry, sad that I actually have to write that, but unfortunately I DO!), real, honest, down to earth, genuine people. People who can handle a little sarcasm, dont take themselves too seriously, are a little spacey, love ink, can laugh at themselves and ... hmm, this could go on forever..... Anyone that wants to join the fight against BSL! Or help/volunteer to educate people about it. Sad sad sad - but very true & very real. Please people open your eyes- these dogs arent just pets to some people, to some people they are an integral part of their family, to others they mean as much to them as if they were their own children, to some children- they're best friends... what would you say to a child when they ask "why do you have to kill my best friend, he didnt do anything wrong?" Something to think about...

Music:

A list of music I'm into? I don't think there's enough space to fill it all in. Everything (ok, not gangsta rap or hardcore country music ok I can handle old skool Country), my CD player has an eclectic mix of cd's in it currently that would confuse anyone*** I feel ancient simply for the fact that I do not own an Ipod ! ; )

Movies:

Bladerunner, Scarface, Requiem For a Dream, Killing Zoe, High Tension/Switchblade Romance, True Romance, Godfather (one and two only!), Casino, Napoleon Dynamite, Valley Girl (shut up if you are laughing at that one!), Kill Bill 1 & 2, The Beach, Almost Famous, Spun, Memento, Reservoir Dogs, Drugstore Cowboy, Taxi Driver....... the list could go on forever ..........

Books:

Ton's of Mag's, the surgeon generals warning on my pack of camels, the complete works of Oscar Wilde.

Heroes:

Heroes? My Mom and my Dad (in their own twisted ways). Kat Von D. of course. She rocks! If I were a lesbian, Id stalk her! ;) .. "A good friends eye is your best mirror" / "Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing" /"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much" /"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you" / "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth" / "I can resist anything but temptation" / "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative" /"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not."

Crisis?

It may sound ridiculous to become passive in the face of danger or crisis, but it happens, and for various reasons. Mainly because we doubt ourselves. What is the worst that can happen? Failure throug...
