About Me

Hmmm. What can I say? I am a free spirited east coast kinda gal who happens to be born under the sign of Leo (all of us should be so lucky....that is just a little lion pride). I am also on friendster, but I kept hearing great things about MySpace so I thought I would give it a whirl. I live in the big apple, and love every minute of it. I like to travel all over, places near and far alike. I also like to try all sorts of good and interesting food...my latest adventure was to a cambodian rest. which was very delicious.
