Randi (aka Trouble)

You think you know, but you have no idea...

About Me

First and foremost, with regard to my “Friends” list: Please, DO NOT send me a request to add you as a “friend” if I really don’t know you. I only approve people that truly are my friends and that I know in real life. I am not on MySpace to see how many people I can add to my fan base and have more friends than the next person. Even though my pics are fun and revealing, I am not a MySpace whore. I am seriously on this site to stay connected with my friends since we are all spread out these days, nothing more. So thanks for the invite, but if I do not know you, I will simply hit the DENY button!

For those that know me, you know the story. For those that don't, here you go... I’m an Arizona girl through and through. I was born and raised in Mesa/Chandler, Arizona and moved to Huntington Beach, CA in July of 1998. Unlike most CA people, I am a country girl, I don’t have fake anything or wear a lot of make-up, I don’t have to be all dressed up to run to the store, I’m not really into designer fashion, I’m drama free for the most part, I HATE rude and/or snobby people, and will tell you straight up how it is and what I’m feeling. I don’t hide much of anything, I’m not ashamed of who I am, what I’ve done or what I’ve become; I am proud of where I come from...

I am a very simple person, yet complicated at times. Let’s just say I am “simply complicated”. I enjoy the simple things in life like flowers picked from the neighbor’s garden rather than a dozen roses from an expensive flower shop, home cooked meals over an overpriced fancy restaurant, and laying on the couch talking for hours about nothing instead of going out to a crowded “place to be” type of club. But I also enjoy flowers sent to my office for no reason, a nice night out at a five star restaurant, a day at the spa, and I love a great bottle of wine from time to time too. I am VERY spontaneous, outgoing, independent, mature, professional, fun, loyal, upbeat and am a riot when I get drunk. I know how and when to have fun, and how and when to be serious. I understand the balance between work and play, but also play as hard as I work. I have worked hard to get where I am today. I am currently a Paralegal/Legal Assistant for a partner in a multi million dollar Medical Malpractice/Personal Injury law firm in Orange County. Not sure how many 27 year olds can say they are seriously at the top of their game at such a young age?!TEAM LOCO BOYS RULE!!!

A lot has happened in the past few years to make me who I am today. My outlook on life now is much different than it was even just a few years ago. Making new friends, losing some along the way (R.I.P. Jason “Wood”, "Hairy" Darrin Pierson, Brian “Squeaky”, and Mark), family drama, heartbreak, and experiencing a lot of life’s lessons has taken me down a road I never thought I would travel. Luckily, I am still a positive person and have not become jaded like most people do when you have been burned as many times as I have. The people I used to think little of have been the most surprising and are now the ones I depend on the most. I have also learned that the people you think will always be there for you will probably be the ones that let you down over and over again. I try to make sure that everyone that is important to me knows just how I feel about them, because you never know when they might slip out of your life for good. I used to say that family was the most important thing in my life, and for my mom and my sister that still rings true, it's just the rest of the family that's not so important anymore. It's amazing how things change as you grow up and finally see the truth and reality behind alot of things. Hence, I am starting to think that just having people in your life that love and care for you is more important than anything. Whether they be family or friends, as long as they are loyal and show you support in the decisions you make, it doesn't really matter what their relation is to you. As my Team Loco boys say, "You don't have to be blood to be family". I have finally realized the true meaning of that phrase. I have to admit that I have a GREAT group of friends, they mean the world to me! They are crazy, fun, spontaneous, caring and for some reason most of them like to get naked before the night is over...

Simple/Quick Facts: I moved out on my own at 16. I HATE sushi. I get really quiet when I am nervous. I am whiny and cry alot when I’m sick. I don’t eat vegetables, at all. I hold my feelings inside. I love grape Gatorade. I have a cat named Stormy. I don't own a passport; I've never been out of the country. I’m very stubborn. I’m a great speller. I love rollercoasters but am afraid of heights. Scary movies give me nightmares & I have a fear of clowns.

My Interests


I am always up to try anything at least twice; who knows, if I didn’t like it the first time around it doesn’t mean I won’t like it the second time. I love the ocean, snorkeling with the fishes, and the serenity of the mountains. I am a total sucker for a good fireworks show! I love to go snow-boarding and dancing. I love hanging out with my friends and having good times. Creating new memories is a must.

I have a condo in Vegas so I try to visit as often as I can; it is my home away from home. Seriously, I am a Black Jack fanatic. Mostly I just like to get out and enjoy life...

I'd like to meet:

I am a hopeless romantic and believe that there is at least one right person out there for everyone, if not two. I strongly believe you find love when you’re not looking for it. I also think you know within the first ten minutes of being with someone if it is right or not.

For once in my life I can say that I am truly, genuinely and completely happy in my love life. I have found my "prince charming", well actually he found me, but that's a long story! I am with the most amazing man ever. He is sweet, caring, gentle, kind, giving and really handsome (just see for yourself below). Scott truly means the world to me and I could not ask for more.

Music:

I listen to everything! Yes, that includes Country. And actually, Country is probably my favorite. However, if you got in my truck you would never know. I have everything, but a few of my favorites include: Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Celine Dion, Enya, DJ Quick, Timbaland, 2Pac, John Cougar Mellencamp, Metallica, Blink 182, Paramore, Bob Marley, Offspring, Faith Hill, The Beach Boys, Shakira, The Dixie Chicks, Lynrd Skynrd, Journey, The Violent Fems and many others.

Movies:



I don’t go out to the movies much; I usually catch them once they are on HBO or video. All time favorites include Napoleon Dynamite, The Replacements, 8 Mile, Oceans 11, The Italian Job and Finding Nemo. I hate scary movies and refuse to watch them!

Television:

Thank god for Tivo! I really don’t sit and watch much TV though, I find it boring. I do have a few shows that I watch religiously which include: The L Word, Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy, Men In Trees, Desperate Housewives, One Tree Hill, The Hills, and Brothers & Sisters.

However, if it’s football season, don’t plan on seeing me all day Sunday or Monday nights, unless it’s at a sports bar watching the game(s). I absolutely LOVE football and try not to miss an NFL game.

Books:

The best book I have ever read is "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". Reading puts me right to sleep though... Who has time to read anyway?? Well wait, does Playboy count?

Heroes:


Superman, Spiderman, Wonderwoman, Incredible Hulk.... No, my hero would have to be my mom. I don’t know anyone that could raise two girls all on their own as well as my mother did.

Reflection/Recap

So, I was coming home from work tonight, driving along PCH, looking at the ocean and the waves, and had somewhat of an epifany...  It hit me that, for once, life is okay...  Do you ever get ...
