"I'm all I want to be...A walking study in demonology..."
I LOVE: to travel (going to Greece next summer, and also on the someday list is Ireland, Puerto Rico, Italy, Brazil, and Australia). ♥ to argue, INTELLIGENTLY ♥ the beach ♥ anthropology ♥ reading ♥ writing ♥ being barefoot ♥ speeding ♥ puddle stomping ♥ to sleep ♥ chai tea ♥ photography, and AWESOME SLR cameras ♥ "teh Intarweb" ♥ finger painting ♥ my black chucks with the yellow laces (there's a story with these and it involves Brandon Boyd - :D) ♥ flip-flops ♥ italian food ♥ kisses on my neck and collar bone ♥ animals of all kinds ♥ kids (borrowed, of course) ♥ camping ♥ Rock n Roll ♥ singing ♥ Sean Connery (I'll take The RAPISTS..." hahaha.) ♥ rain and thunderstorms(and kissing in it) ♥ dancing ♥ snuggling ♥ cupcakes ♥ playing "dress up" ♥ my 2 cats and my pup ♥ my bf ♥ my friends and family ♥ fridge message letters ♥ "I'm not beautiful like you ; I'm beautiful like me."

If you wanna know more about me, read my interests and stuff, i dunno...or ask somebdy i know, im terrible as these descriptions things. People always say I write too much...I guess it's b/c they are either ILLITERATE FOOLS, or just plain lazy/ uninterested in what I'm saying; if you are one of these people, THEN DON'T READ IT; simple as that...

My Interests

Mostly I am just trying to survive my education. I think it may destroy me; the smarter I get, the more I learn, and I realize the less I wanna know sometimes...ignorance is bliss...but knowledge is power. hmm...other than that, music, live shows, singing at the top of my lungs, live theater, dance, reading, photography, pathetic attempts at poetry, hookah, old muscle cars, huge ass shining fins on classic caddies, swimming, waterpolo, soccer, horseback riding, star gazing, Going to art shows/ galleries (I adore work by Salvador Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh, Escher) and yes, I do like long walks on the beach, where i can poke lil' anemones in the tidepools, let the wind whip my hair around, and collect seashells and driftwood, while smelling the salt in the air and feeling the sand getting stuck in b/w my toes...It's like an amazing sensory overload.
And I like to play TWISTER...below is the rare picture of my denim wearing third leg, which helps me to win.

I'd like to meet:

My grandparents. I never knew them, b/c they died before i was born or when I was an infant, but I hear they were amazing people with tons of knowledge and cultural pride.Also, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, maya angelou, joni mitchell, jon stewart, dustin hoffman, eve ensler, and MLK, Jr. Sadly alomst half of my hero's have passed on... :( "Where'd all the good people go?..." - Jack JohnsonOther than that, I've already met some pretty amazing people...

Books:

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is my all time favorite book, but as far as authors go, Edgar Allen Poe and J.R.R. Tolkien, Maya Angelou, Jeffrey Eugenides (Virgin Suicides, Middlesex), Natalie Angier, and Eve Ensler. Anything written by the furer. Other specific titles include Cunt, Skepticism, Inc, Fast Food Nation, and anything written by my sister.

Heroes:

These lovely women, for their innner and outer beauty, intelligence, tenacity, and the way they inspire me everytime I'm with them (not to mention, they KNOW how to have a REALLY good time, EVERY TIME!): and My bf Ryan, for all the love he gives me everyday, and his never ending kindness and understanding he shows to everyone. Jesus's eyeball. (--Eddie wrote that) Eddie Kezeli. And Dane Cook! There isn't a day that goes by that some part of his standup isn't regurgitated by me. SU-FI!
