Uh-oh... busy thinking again...

About Me

An instant smile will be had if I learn that I will hear bongos or a tambourine shortly. I also have a major thing for pirates...especially those with a bottle of Captain Morgan hidden away in their pants... Argh. I wander, I wonder, I am confusing and confused. If you want to know what I think of you, it's easy- just look me in the eyes and I will show you. I am the most sociable loner you will ever meet- I do most things on my own, but on the other hand I can be quite the talker. I send my friends the longest emails ever- I doubt anyone has ever made it through one of those. :) I have many acquaintances, but few individuals that I feel a complete connection with, so those that I date or consider a true friend have my complete loyalty- I will never give up on you for the time that we have together. My favorite thing to do is go for a hike by myself with some good music. In my mind, the best animal is an orangutan, I have a thing for guys in camouflage shorts, and I can't think of a better place to be then around the campfire listening to someone play guitar. People stop me frequently to take their picture (got that trustworthy look going in my favor). Used to play “I’m Only Happy When It Rains” repeatedly and had all the words to the movie “Heathers” memorized. There has never been anything that I enjoyed more in my life than a kiss; and a genuine, strong hug can get you out of any trouble with me pretty easily. :) Studied in Ireland for a summer, met amazing people in my lifetime, and was given a Team Spirit award for field hockey that looks like a drunk turkey. Also received a Civic Responsibility award in high school... I'm a good girl! Old men (I'm talking senior citizens) flirt with me...A LOT! I think because I am a giggly gal. Karoake, Golden Tee, Megatouch Video, and a jukebox are all good times. In high school and college- I was bummed that my parents didn't buy me clothes and cute things like my friends' did- now I have come to appreciate that they instead provided me with opportunities to travel overseas and across the USA. That has made a big difference in how I view and enjoy life and I am now SO GRATEFUL for that! I am impulsive, also a writer at times. I daydream and I laugh A LOT. Now, if you want another person's opinion about me- here it is: On St. Patty's Day, two guys with long green mullets and silky pants told me that I am pretty, cute, and have a great sense of humor- how could you not believe someone with green hair (or a mullet)??? ;) Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com ..

My Interests

Interests include: giving my new puppy Maggie the best life ever, instigating others, my profession where every single day is a thought-provoking one, talking with friends- especially a girls night on the patio with a bottle of wine, hiking, going to Rockies games, snowboarding, the coffee shop in Genesee Park, music festivals, recently snowmobiling, cuddling up next to someone I care for, driving on 85 South (below 470), whitewater rafting, roadtrips, Union in Castle Rock (great food and I like the atmosphere inside), movies, sunsets- I never see the sun rise though, music, museums, goofy dancing, Monday night kickball... My perfect evening would include watching talented musicians live- I LOVE that (and am typically front and center)!

I'd like to meet:

Could be entertaining to have a true rastafarian stay on my couch for the weekend. Anyone know of Rent-A-Rasta-Mon services? Meeting up with Matthew McConaughy–or Jason Lewis for that matter- on a boat, shirtless, with a cooler full of ice cold ones waiting for me would be pretty s-weeet. Geeeez-us man, you boys are gorgeous- Gorgeous!Watching the sun go down, with a bottle of red and Zach Braff would be nice- I’d like to have a chat with him- seems like a nice guy- the real deal. Oh- and the Dalai Lama. Enlighten me. Let me make you chuckle and then pinch your cheeks. You are so cute! Please feed my soul with your insights. :)

Music:

Good Sound - Good Lyrics - Good Times.

Movies:

I relate to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Big Fish, Garden State, and Lost in Translation. Also enjoy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (best when viewed late-night), Crash, Traffic, Good Will Hunting, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Old School, Dumb and Dumber. Enjoy most, can't think of favorites really- these just popped in my mind for now.

Television:

Basically crazy for any series that comes out of HBO... Interested in Entourage, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc etc.
You Are Most Like Carrie!
You're quirky, flirty, and every guy's perfect first date.
But can the guy in question live up to your romantic ideal?
It's tough for you to find the right match - you're more than a little picky.
Never fear... You've got a great group of friends and a
great closet of clothes, no matter what!

Romantic prediction: You'll fall for someone this year...

Totally different from any guy you've dated. Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

Books:

I mostly like reading a book on a subject to learn more about it, like various religions, locations, West Memphis Three, my profession (psychology), etc. Within the past few years, I have enjoyed Katherine It's Time, Life of Pi, Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Freakonomics, Who Moved My Cheese, 5 People You Meet In Heaven, and definitely, my childhood favorite- The Giving Tree. Also, Sark's books. She writes like I think.

Heroes:

Optimistic that everyone is someone's hero.
