Running....I'm even surprised at that one! Air conditioning, Indian food, finding my purpose in life (see how I prioritize??!!), rekindling old flames...then putting them out again, anyone from Huntsville Arkansas...except that crazy guy who did the thing with the cow, fishing, sunning on the beach, learning to surf without getting salt water in my eyes (please tell me this is even possible!!) spelunking (not even kidding...I love it!!) learning to cook a meal without getting every pot and pan I own dirty...help me out, Martha!! Figuring out a way to get home to visit my family in Mississippi without having to trade a kidney for a weekend off...
Growing a pair of balls so I can leave bartending and get a 'real' job so my parents won't worry about me so much!! Deciding what I want to spend the rest of my life doing, figuring out exactly how many drinks I can have before I black out, finding a religion I feel is not ultimately about money or headed by sex-crazed hypocrites, getting out of debt without having to actually spend my own money, finding people whom I wholly respect and admire then learning how to be a bit more like them.
I'd like to meet:
Fun people who pique my interest, and combine quirky nerdiness with an acute sense of adventure. Also, if you think it's chic that I'm nearing 30 and am still bartending...then we're sure to hit it off!! Conversely, if you know of a really cool career that requires extensive bartending experience and a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish please pass along the info...I might be interested in shifting careers!

Heroes:
My Nana...She cared for my Tataw at home for the 16 years he battled Alzheimers. We all helped out where we could, but it takes a lot of character and determination to deal with that horrible degeneration all day, every day.
My Parents...(of course!) For taking in a scared little girl and giving her the stability of a 2-parent home filled with love and some damned strict rules!
