Holiday, Im ready for you!

About Me

I'm just a San Diego girl trying to make get my name out in the big world.

I'm learning to like wine. So far, I'm partial to Sauvignon Blanc. EDIT: ok, since I wrote this, Ive moved on to reds. Im no longer learning, Im in love. Mmmmmm...

I'm determined to relearn Spanish, since at one point I was almost fluent, and now I speak like a total white girl.

I can admit that I am addicted to Starbucks. I try to quit periodically. Hasn't happened so far. Lately, Ive cut back the calories to iced coffee... it holds me over ok. UPDATE: Im gettin myself used to 7-11 coffee in the morning! So much cheaper, and pretty tasty too. Dont worry Starbucks, I still see you on the weekends.

I used to ride an sv650s. I sold it over a year again, and no longer ride. I do still love going to the track as Gregg's umbrella girl. Since I dont have the bike for adrenaline, I'm looking for a new adventure. Any suggestions?

My Interests

Semi-normal interestes: Horses, movies, sportbikes, dancing, photography. Nerd interests: Anything related to pyschology and sexuality. And plastic surgery shows. Not sure if that is nerdy or not!

I'd like to meet:

I'm always up for meeting new, interesting people! Brainless idiots and mass "friends" gatherers need not apply. Best way to introduce yourself is to send me a message, and include something about yourself most people wouldnt guess!

Music:

Almost anything... except punk! (Yes that includes country)

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Good Will Hunting, and Raising Arizona for a good laugh.

Books:

Anything by Dean Koontz, Janet Evanovich, Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
