I am here for Friends

About Me

Hmm... about me. I graduated from UCSB almost two years ago where I was a business economics and psychology major. And I miss it! I miss not having to wake up every morning, partying too much on Thursdays, rehashing the weekend on Sunday mornings with my roommies, and eating out every day and not feeling guilty because the kitchen is too dirty to cook in. If you are still in college, please enjoy it and extend your stay!So now I'm in the real world. I've been working for a year and a half now in sales. I'm a District Manager (hefty title but really just full of air) in Marin County for a company that does many things but specifically provides a payroll and HR service to small businesses. I basically bring on new businesses to the service. Fun stuff! But I'm doing really well at it right now and loving my job. Flexibility and cool co-workers is the key to being happy at work.So what about home... well I'm living with my best friends Heather and Gwendolyn in the presidio of San Francisco and just one block from the beach. I spend a lot of time exploring the city on the weekends and doing all of the touristy stuff. I love it here! It was definitely a good move to move here, but I don't want to stay here forever because you can't afford to buy anything! Oh, I also live with my two kittens Holly & Bootsy who I really treat like children more than cats, but I don't care. What can I say? I have the mom gene. I need to take my mothering out on something!But don't worry, I'm not a total prude yet. I just got back from Vegas with my Santa Barbara Girlies. Gad Reunion 2006! Too much fun. And I definitely hit up the bars with the Core Four (Gwen, Heather, and Lauren...in case you didn't know you were in the core four, you are).And, I miss my brothers and my mommy and daddy. Michael is currently filling out countless applications to play college at D-1 schools, and Matt (the hero of the family) is continuing to blow us away with his passion for fire fighting.My boyfriend Long and I have been together for 5 years now and still going strong! Even survived a stint of living together for 4 months while he looked for housing closer to his engineering job in Hayward.So that's me. I'm outgoing, I love sports (especially the GIANTS and the 49ERS) and my family, and I just like to laugh. That's my idea of a good time... anything that involves laughing.

Create Your Own!

Music:

Seriously, almost everything except metal. Right now I've been listening to a lot of country, but I also love anything that I can dance to! Also, Justin Timberlake's new album can be listened to non-stop over and over without even realizing -- it's that good!

Movies:

Pirates of the Carribbean, 40 Year Old Virgin (!!!), How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Spanglish, Monsters, Finding Nemo, Amelie, Old School, anything with Will Pharrel

Television:

Everybody Loves Raymond, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Family Guy, Law & Order SVU, Las Vegas, Dancing with the Stars, The Biggest Loser, Project Runway

Books:

I loved reading Everybody Worth Knowing by the same person who wrote The Devil Wears Prada (Andrea Heilbronner). Really I love reading books about women my age with much more money who get to live in really swanky apartments and go out every night drinking with their friends only to return to a really cool advertising/magazine writing/etc. job in the morning where it's good to be hung over.

Heroes:

My parents, my brothers, my friends for all that they've been through and overcome
