I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I am a tomboy at heart. I only dress up if I have to, or to shock the hell out of my friends. Otherwise, I am a sweats and t-shirt kind of girl. I like watching sports almost as much as I love taking part in them. ESPN and Fox Sports Net are big channels in my house. But now where is ESPN de Ocho? I want my dodgeball fix!!!!
My friends think I am nuts because I am adventerous, and have a tendency of getting a wild hair up my ass to do something different. I have been known to just jump in my car and do something spontaneous like skydiving, head to the coast, or end up in another town or city. I have even developed a mad passion for dodgeball and roller-derby. Nobody can kick ass like dodgeballers and derby girls!!!!
Anyway, some people think I am a party girl because I like to go out dancing. But for me, that is just a release. A way to escape from all of the crap from the week, and to feel free because when I hear music I just let go. Besides, it is a great workout, especially because you do not realize you are working out. Oh, and when I dance, I don't just glisten, I sweat. If you are going to do something, you might as well do it right. ;-)
I love spending time with my friends, but I am just as content to spend time alone. You would be amazed at what you can learn through both socializing as well as digging within.
Most importantly, I am about connection. I am about people who I can feel a common bond with, and yes, those bonds can vary. I am one of those who believe it is about who you are and not what you are or what you have. Those who are hung up way too much on the material things of life, don't even bother. I have a pretty keen sense of people and those who are fake don't last long in my world. I am one of those who is into the real nitty-gritty. I want to get to know the real you...not just some persona.Oh, and guys, please do me a favor and stop sending me friends requests if you have never even talked to me before in some form or fashion. I will not just join your harem of women just because you sent a request. So, please stop wasting my time and yours. Thanks!
Let me re-iterate...IF YOU HAVE NEVER TALKED WITH ME BEFORE OR CORRESPONDED WITH ME BEFORE...DON'T SEND ME A FRIENDS REQUEST. I AM NOT GOING TO ADD YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU SENT A REQUEST!!!! FOR THOSE WHO CONTINUE YOU WILL BE DELETED EACH AND EVERYTIME!!!! (Man, I hate being made to sound like that, but it is getting annoying.)

My Interests

Camping, whitewater rafting, bowling, dodgeball, roller-derby, reading books, listening to music, dancing, fire spinning, auto racing, enjoying a good meal, skiing, computer games, volleyball (indoor and beach), swimming, sunsets, gazing at the stars, fireworks, beer, wine, movies, and just enjoying the world around me.

I'd like to meet:

Fun people, who think that life is too short, so they live each day to the fullest. Dodgeballers and roller-derby girls. Derby fans are also always welcome. People with a massive love for all types of music and fire feel free to say hi. But most importantly, those who are willing to be themselves and are marching to their own tune, those I especially want to meet. I love people who are willing to stretch themselves further than they have ever been stretched before, but always maintain a sense of who they are in their core.

Also it seems I must say this one more time...GUYS, IF YOU HAVE NEVER TALKED WITH ME BEFORE OR CORRESPONDED WITH ME BEFORE...DON'T SEND ME A FRIENDS REQUEST. I AM NOT GOING TO ADD YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU SENT A REQUEST!!!! FOR THOSE WHO CONTINUE YOU WILL BE DELETED EACH AND EVERYTIME!!!! OH, AND CALLING ME NAMES IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND. (Man, I hate being made to sound like that, but it is getting annoying.)

Music:

I give up on even trying to fill out this section. My taste varies so much. I am the type that can be listening to the Sex Pistols on my way to go dance to house music night. One day when I am bored, maybe I will actually list at least some of the artists I like. But I guess that won't happen until the rain returns.

Movies:

Too many to list. But Blade Runner and Locks, Stocks, and Two Smoking Barrels are two of my all-time favorites. Throw in Amelie and Secretary, then the night is complete.

Television:

Hey, I almost forgot I had one unless I am watching movies or the season for 24 is going.

Books:

Way too many to list. I read anything from horror, general fiction, sci-fi, historical, biographical, action/adventure, gothic classics, spirtuality of various forms, etc. I have even been known to pick up college textbooks and children's books from time to time. My current personal favorite though has been the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I have found that one very insightful.

Heroes:

My grandmother. She knew how to live life, and refused to grow old.

Thank you Portland!

Actually I feel like I should really be saying thank you Dot!  If it wasn't for Miss Dot, I probably would not have had the chance to do our annual red sea mayhem.  It was such a blast, and ...
