I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Perfectly Imperfect. Vagabond outlaw gypsy. Dividing my time, biding my time, between Columbia and Charleston. Sometimes moody, usually happy. City girl. Adventurous thrill seeker. Escape artist. Tattooed. Pierced. Compulsive list maker. Opinionated and tolerant. Cynical but hopeful. Crafty. Sardonic. Suspected man eater. Restless. Relentless. Romantic. Rebel rebel. Feral Martha Stewart. Confident but self conscious. Occasional loudmouth. Lolita. Competent. Fiercely independent. Revolutionary daydreamer.

My Interests

Stuff I Dig: sunsets, sunrises, long walks, old buildings, live music, mexican food, acts of civil disobedience, first kisses, tempting fate, ipods, people watching, flip flops, working out my philosophy of life based on John Cusack movies, a good debate (even when the subject is ridiculous), roller skating, skating in parking garages, trivia, bald heads (shaved or natural), climbing soapboxes, tekken, the pure honesty of little kids and dogs, the ocean, the moon, the color purple, the eiffel tower, the tattoos on my feet, and the brilliant contradictions that make people real....Hiking, camping, music, dirty jokes, movies, photography, reading, travel, the beach,buying stuff at the thrift store and spray painting it... Here's a table I made recently....Not So Much: Generic Suburbs, Urban sprawl, Starbucks, narrow mindedness, racism, coffee, vinyl siding, chronic misuse of the words good and well, close toed shoes, excessive packaging, soap scum, the color pink, righteousness, cell phones, jam bands, mayonniase, the short dark days of winter.....
