I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

What is there really to say? I am a very strong willed and passionate person. Adventurous and outgoing, sometimes to a fault. I have made many mistakes in my lifetime, but know with out a doubt that I wouldn't be where and who I am with out having made them - If I could do it all again though, I think I would have listened more, talked less, and tried to have learned from others' mistakes instead of feeling like I needed to make them all on my own. I have a fantastic best friend & boyfriend... he is the absolute light of my life and my world would not be the same with out him in it ~(love you baby!)

My Interests

Things that I like??? HMMM... Sports (I love playing volleyball), road trips, working, beating my dog (just kidding Leo!), going to the gym, movies, concerts, star gazing, dancing, hiking, camping, going to the beach, kayaking, people watching, making people laugh, making out, practicing yoga, cooking, meeting new and interesting people, pretending that I am an artist and a poet,... Any other questions?

I'd like to meet:

I have met a lot of really special people in my lifetime so far. Getting to re-meet some of them would great though. And as usual, a laundry list of favorite celebrities and historical figures that I won't even try to get started naming.

Music:


Movies:

Super Troopers, Office Space, Underworld, Brahm Stoker's Dracula, Interview With the Vampire, Benny and Joon, all of the Starwars movies, Matrix trillogy, Lord of the Rings trillogy, Sol Goode (thanks a lot Kris), Weekend at Bernies, Young Guns 1 & 2, Men At Work, The Holy Grail, Chasing Amy, Love Actually, Lost in Translation, all things Disney, The Cell, THE CROW!!!, Ernest Goes to Camp, Gone With The Wind, Royal Tennanbaums, Life Aquatic, the dance scene from Napoleon Dynamite, High Fidelity, Say Anything, Swingers, Old Yeller, the new Superman, Shawn of the Dead & Hot Fuzz, Wedding Crashers, Stranger than Fiction, In Her Shoes, The Holiday, Knocked Up, HOT ROD!, and many, many more...

Television:

T.V. will slowly steal your soul! BUT, Robot Chicken, Drawn Together, Entourage and a couple of others are worth it.. Absolutely NO soap operas *yuck!* and I HATE "reality" TV. Okay, okay, I'm obsessed with DEXTER!!!

Books:

I am just starting on Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, I'm half way through The Vampire Lestat. Mutant Message Down Under is amazing! Where the Red Fern Grows and Island of the Blue Dolphins are all time favorites.

Heroes:

My family for sure! All of the artists who are brave enough to share a piece of your souls with the world be it through music, photography, theater etc., etc... The world is a more colorful and interesting place because of you!
