About Me

Well, I'm a quirky girl from Las Vegas living in the Bay Area. I graduated from UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) in 2004 and since then, I have been working as a bartender at a couple bars in the East Bay. I just started an MBA program and hopefully, in 3 years I'll be consulting around the world making the big bucks.

My Interests

I like to chill at home with my 2 adorable miniature schnauzers, Beamer and Nietzsche (see pics). Hanging out with friends when I can to eat some yummy foods and watch silly movies. Every now and then I go the clubs to shake my booty, but since I work the weekends, it's hard to find a scene on a Monday night. I try to get out and play tennis, I exercise moderately, but I love to eat. I'm a product junkie and like to read the "Fun Facts" under Snapple lids.

I'd like to meet:

Funny people, I love to laugh. From popsicle stick jokes, to intellectual wit, I love it all. Robin Williams would be awesome to meet, but I like to meet people in general though, so if you're around, I'll prolly say hello...

Music:

I enjoy music generally considered "Top 100" or whatever. I like the R&B, hip-hop, and old school genres and bump whatever sounds good to me. Most would say that I'm not into music cuz I don't know who the lead guitarist of (enter band here) and that (enter lead singer name here) started another band in (enter year here). Oh well.

Movies:

I like a lot of them, but here are a few that come to mind: The Indiana Jones trilogy, Dirty Dancing, Tremors 1 (the other 2? sucked), Alive, Elf, Amelie, Stick It, Bring It On, Dumb & Dumber (mock, yeah, -ing, yeah, bird, yeah, yeah, yeah), Pride and Prejudice (all remakes), The Princess Bride, The Joy Luck Club, Finding Nemo, Team America ("fuck yeah!"), Coming to America, Mommie Dearest, Aliens (all of them), The Kings of Comedy, A Christmas Story ("fragile"), Primal Fear, Pretty Woman, Love Actually, Ever After, Speed 1, Requiem for a Dream, The Three Amigos ("...a plethora?"), What's Love Got To Do With It, Parenthood, Mrs. Doubtfire, Pure Luck, Sneakers, Juno, and Napoleon Dynamite, gosh!

Television:

Usually I have MSNBC on, but for entertainment I like to watch Top Chef, Nip/Tuck, 24, Project Runway, Lost, America's Next Top Model, E True Hollywood Story, Grey's Anatomy, House, and yes, Oprah.

Books:

Most of Stephen King's work, my fave being It and The Stand. Some Dean Koontz, fave being Icebound, the 3 crime thrillers by JA Konrath featuring Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels, and some classics like Crime and Punishment, Fountainhead, Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice, and some novels by Haruki Murakami. I just finished The Sex Lives of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost and have started his Getting Stoned With Savages. way awesome books. Recently, Earth Abides and Kitchen Confidential.

Heroes:

uhhhh, i'm still thinking about this one.
