I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm running a half marathon for Crohn's and training with Team Challenge. Please visit my fundraising website to donate towards Crohn's research and support my fundraising goal! Thank you!!! www.active.com/donate/napa08laoc/AllisonPKingI'm a dancer... a mover... I do not gyrate... I simply shake it like a polaroid picture...I jump around a lot and curtsy in place of "you're welcome." I am a hard worker, afflicted with the horrible condition of an overwhelming determination to make things better, more efficient (most people don't give a flying rat's ass and that makes me MAD). I like shortening words... I love my new Escape (which I am paying for all by myself)... Black Eyed Peas "My Humps" is my theme song. I can layer shirts like you wouldn't believe. My boo-tay has a mind of its own...What can I say, I'm a dancer through and through...I love running around outside, swimming, jumping off of things...I am fiercely defensive of those I love... I like to push people to be better... I like to "talk it out"...I love my family more than anything. I love my friends even though some of us only talk once a year. I love color, smeary dance photography, my old blind crazy golden retriever(RIP), the cool smell of fall, music, movement, children, relationships, improving myself - not necessarily in that order. I am living life...staying healthy and enjoying every minute.

My Interests

DANCING!!!, driving fast and yelling at cars, drinking coffee, the Standard, REALLY dirty martinis and white wine (separate but equal), indian food, catching up with friends and being emotional (not that I have a choice, its in my blood), walking around Silverlake, singing at the top of my lungs, writing songs, preparing to be the next American Idol (HA!), shaking my butt, cute high heels, shaking my butt WHILE WEARING cute high heels- hey I'm multi-talented, what can I say! Cooking delicious dinners with my friends has become a new passion. Immersing myself in the LA Dance scene is always exciting, inspiring. Travel and a change of scenery whenever things get stale...

maybe

sometimes it's all just too much. and you have to slow down, and you have to re-configure, and you have to breathe, breathe, breathe.  and you have to make changes and you have to follow through ...
