About Me


You Belong in San Diego
Laid back and friendly, you were meant to live most of your life on the beach.
You usually think everything is "all good"... except when the weather dips under 60F.
You stay classy - especially when you're in Tijuana! Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?

My Interests

2007 Italy trip

..
2006 Italy trip

I am creative, sarcastic, kind, silly, stubborn, passionate & spontaneous. I like to travel, more than almost anything else. I enjoy design, architecture, the ocean and thought provoking conversation. I have a passion for photography-I love to capture the effects of light in trees, reflections in water and those I love. My family and friends are really important to me.

Bubbles, the ocean, inappropriate laughter, photo booth pictures, balloons and ice cream cones make me happy. I enjoy creating art - mosaics, collages, knitting, scrapbooking, jewelry, etc.! I like horses, swimming, orca whales, art, theater and film, technology, laughing until my side hurts, being around kids, history, listening to live music, eating in nice restaurants, chivalry, romance & going to the movies. I strive for passion in my life.

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything

Friends don't let friends talk with food in their mouth.

I'd like to meet:

My lobster, and people whose eyes sparkle with mischief, dreams and ambition.

I love Jim Halpert
[Michael reads off complaints filed by Dwight]
Michael Scott: OK, so Dwight, in your own words: "Someone replaced all my pens and pencils with crayons. I suspect Jim Halpert."
Michael Scott: Everyone has called me "Dwayne" all day. I think Jim Halpert paid them to.
Jim Halpert: [to camera, laughs] Yes. Five bucks each, and it was totally worth it.
Michael Scott: This morning, I found a bloody glove in my desk drawer, and Jim Halpert tried to convince me I committed murder. I think he may be the real murderer.
Michael Scott: Jim Halpert said there was an abandoned infant in the women's room, when I went to save the child, I saw Meredith on the can.
Michael Scott: This morning, I knocked myself in the head with the phone.
Jim Halpert: [to camera] That actually took a while. I had to put- uh, more and more nickels into his handset until he got used to the weight, and then I just took them all out.
Michael Scott: Every time I typed my name, it said "Diapers".
Jim Halpert: [to camera] Just a simple macro. You know, these actually don't sound that funny, one after another. But he does deserve it, though.
Michael Scott: By the end of the day, my desk was about two feet closer to the copier.
Jim Halpert: [to camera] Yeah, I just moved it an inch every time he went to the bathroom, and that's how I spent the entire day that day.

Books:
