About Me

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (Mark Twain)"I'm a walking oxymoron - full of complex twists and juxtapositions. Not matter how long you know me you may never understand me. I'm notoriously bad at cell phones. I love laughter and am extremely spontaneous. I'm an all or nothing kinda gal so don't expect any real consistancy. I'm a modern day gypsy. I grew up in the wilds, hate the city, and yet I've been bouncing among several major metropolitan areas and will continue to so for some time. I love fashion but hate shopping. I'll hike, camp, and fish before I'll buy a pair of jeans. I keep my hair just the way it comes out due to lack of time, money, and motivation. What you see is what you get! I love anything vintage and have a newly rediscovered passion for football. I jump out of planes and like to pretend to cook. I'm an avid believer that motorcycles are a girls best friend - not diamonds. I am fascinated with other cultures and want to travel yet can't speak anything other than english and my six year old passport has never been stamped although that is top priority this year. I can party with the best of them but often prefer to stay home and call it a mellow night. I love politics, philosophy, art, running in the rain, and a good glass of wine.
I believe our culture is entirely too pop culture obsessed and apathetic to the real issues in the world. While you're wondering what purse Paris is wearing there are kids starving and lacking basic health care and education. I want to adopt children from oppressed situations throughout the world and give them opportunities they'd never know otherwise. If we don't take a stand for what we believe in, who will??
I'd have to say my biggest pet peeve in life is to wake up to the sound of an alarm clock. Is there anything more annoying?? Perhaps smokers flicking their cigarette butts on the ground in an effort to help pollute the world and save themselves five steps to a trash can...maybe. It is pretty damn close!

Stability results were very high which suggests you are extremely relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Orderliness results were low which suggests you are overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense too often of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.
Extraversion results were very high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

My Interests

Music, art, philosophy, pretending I can surf, club hopping, classic movies, reading, hiking, and of course I can't forget...

I'd like to meet:

Arichibald Leach!
I LOVE meeting new people. I'm always up for making new friends and having a good time. But a warning to all you fellas out there - don't try. lol. I'm open to the possiblities life has out there for me but NOT on myspace. It's pathetic and annoy. Just thought I'd give you fair warning...
You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.

Music:

Anything and everything. Whatever hits me at the moment. Rock, Country, Rap, Jazz, Hip Hop, whatever!



Lately I've been on an alternative streak with some classics thrown in as well. Although, that is likely to change soon.
Oh, and my favorite song of all time is probably Ain't No Sunshine. Just a trivia fact for ya

Movies:

I mostly grew up without TV so I've come to love movies. I will admit that I am easily entertaine by them so don't trust me if I tell you it's a good movie. I may be lying. lol
I love all the old classics but don't honestly know many. I love to just tune into TCM and watch for hours! If you're looking for more of a social setting you'd be better off taking me to an action or drama than a chick flick. (ok, and it's a secret but I do enjoy the occassional fluff movie too...shhhhh...)

Television:

Turner Classic Movies! A little more drama, some great comedy, maybe a hint of romance or the eating of pig intestines and I'm in!
Myspace Layouts
Myspace Codes

Books:

I've always loved reading. As a kid, I used to play sick to stay home from school just so I could finish a book. I've decided that I'm going to give poetry a good try since I haven't read it in years but am blaringly ignorant of any good authors. If you have any advice, let me know. ;)

Heroes:

Levi! Ok, so he may not count as a true hero to most but he is to me. He was never afraid of trying new things, always protected those he loved even when they didn't feel they needed the protection, and he got along with everybody - even the cat. ;)

adopt your own virtual pet!
