About Me

I finally found somewhere to spread out a bit and put all my stuff. I bought a beautiful house with a big yard. Naturals highs that include driving, my boyfriend, billiards, music and running. Driving the US (mostly to Louisiana) and Canada are my favorite places to visit and pitch a tent up in. I like talking to new people. I am a professional chef. When I'm not working I'm shooting pool, camping, playing cards, writing, strumming, and drawing. When I'm not doing that, I'm watching poetry performances/slams at the Lizard Lounge and the Cantab, reading, going to concerts and playing Boggle, I have no patience for Scrabble. Check out www.WERS.org from Emerson College -my favorite radio station. I love my friends.
