Myspace Contact TablesI hate this question. I am a free spirit with lots of love to give. I am a midwest girl living in a big city who loves adventure. I am one who expects the best because I give everything my all. I don't like cheaters, liars or laziness. My family is the most important thing to me and it hurts being away from them. Bottom line...I am just Mindy and that is hard to explain! Don't ask....just get to know.

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS! I'm really outgoing. I love to be active and always want to be having fun. I moved to California a year ago and am enjoying the beauty that the west coast has to offer. I love to sing and enjoy all kinds of music....it's what keeps me going. I am a huge family person and hate that I am half way across the country from them. I love to travel and love to ski. Other than that...I'm just a good old girl from the midwest.

My Interests

I love music, mountains, the ocean...I could go on forever. Everyday should be interesting, if you allow yourself to enjoy it. You have 76% Iowa in you!  

Nice score! Are you embarrassed or proud of being so much Iowa? I would be proud, it's great being so closely tied to the Hawkeye State.

Do you have Iowa in you?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that has something to say!

Music:

It all started with Motown. Otis Redding, Temptations, Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, etc. As for now in my time...Sarah McLachlan, Ani DiFranco, Ben Harper, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, Rusted Root, 311...and I could keep on going. Oh..did I mention Journey?

Movies:

Anything entertaining. Moulin Rouge makes me cry every time I see it. Footloose makes me want to be crazy and dance like a rockstar. Big makes me want to be a kid again. Say Anything makes me want to fall in love. Tommy Boy makes me want to eat paint chips and go cow tipping!

Television:

Favorite show is Inked....only because Carey Hart is the most gorgeous man in my book! Other than that I am a MTV junkie and reality TV whore. Oh...and I will take anyone on for a game of Wheel of Fortune. Bring it on!

Books:

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. This book guides me in the right path...everytime I read it. It will move you.

Heroes:

My mother for raising us girls. My father for accomplishing more in his life then he ever expected and because he always out does himself. And my grandparents for raising the most incredible parents I could have ever asked for.
