...and how my life is like a roller coaster ride

About Me


Under threat of demotion from Jen's top 8, and thus "making her a horrible person," I have finally updated my lame (and by lame I mean empty) profile. [Jen, is it okay to say "lame?" haha]...sorry for the similar format J, but as they say, "imitation is the best form of flattery."
Well, here it goes...Things about me that are worth knowing:
I love to travel. The most recent trip being a 50 state cross country road trip that lasted 90+ days last Fall. To clarify (b/c believe it or not, I have to do this almost everytime I tell someone about the trip) - Yes, we went to ALL 50 states, INCLUDING Alaska and Hawaii...No, we did not drive to Hawaii...Yes, there are ONLY 50 States. And I have about 6 favorites, so if you ask, don't expect a straight answer.
I use "lame" words such as "hoppin'", "gals", and most importantly "crumby." Jen never misses a chance to remind me of it.
If that didn't convince you of it, i'll be straight out with it....I'm a dork...and fine with it. I enjoy helping Tiff with her math problems, and will even text her at 1 in the morning when I figure out the one we couldn't get all night.
I can do a standing back flip...on a four inch wide, four feet high piece of wood. Beat that.
I have the greatest friends in the world. You know who you are, and I value you guys more than anything. You're the best.
I hate mustard.
I LOVE the beach, playing poker, going dancing, beer pong (w/o the beer), strawberries, "The Rock," Seth Cohen, and sour candy.
I listen to country music...and I am NOT ashamed.
I am someone who holds strongly onto what I believe. I am a Christian. I cherish people in my life. I am honest. If you want my opinion...ask for it.
Commuting sucks! 3 Hours on the train I can deal with, waking up at 6am...will NEVER be okay.
The only thing worse than a 6am alarm...is knowing that that will be the latest you will ever wake up on a weekday in the foreseeable future.
I'm a dog person, but don't dislike cats.
At one point in my life I watched "Passions"....daily.
I am constantly getting involved in a million things at once or have plans every night for the next two weeks. I am often found "living out of a bag" or my car b/c of this. Within the last year I have slept in my car for over 2 months!
I am completely secure in my heterosexuality despite the fact that more than one of my friends (and you know who you are) are convinced otherwise. Jake, you wish.
With the down time I do get there is scheduled time for 24, Lost, The OC, Prison Break, Entourage, Arrested Development, Grey's Anatomy, etc. etc. However the down time I have doesn't even come close the amount I need to keep me up to date.
That's about all. Right now all I really do it work, and fill in the remaining time I have as best I can. If you want to know more, you're going to have to engage me enough to get a response, and then ask. :) Hope to find out a little more about you!

My Interests

Photography, snowboarding, wakeboarding, traveling ... the list goes on ... you want to know more you're going to have to ask.

I'd like to meet:


There's only one way to find out...

Music:

so i pretty much listen to everything...minus the screaming kill your mother type music. i'm probably the only girl from long island that you'll meet that listens to country music, however at the same time i can just as easily flip the station and start belting out punk, r&b, alternative rock, hanson (that one's for you jen), etc. [but trust me, you don't want to hear me sing...with the music on its not too bad, but acapella...let's just say, its not so good.]

Movies:

"The Rock"...hands down. Mostly I like action and comedies, with an occasional "chick flick" thrown in. As a general rule...keep me away from horror flicks and we're fine.

Television:

Favorite Show: Friends. Although for the last three months I haven't seen much of television as a whole, when I get home the TIVO will definitely be playing OC, 24, and Lost non-stop...along with about 40 hours of other shows that only remind me that I have a job and must go to sleep before 11 if I plan on functioning the next day.
