About Me

Hmm.....I like to keep my personal stuff personal but I will tell you a little: I have four tattoos a few piercings (nothing too crazy) and lots and lots and lots of curly hair. I LOVE to laugh more than anything and sarcasm is my sidekick. I am completely taken, off the market and 100% faithful to my girlfriend of four years (but I still like to flirt and have a good time). I'm currently a student at SIU majoring in Business Management. I'm also a bartender and the proud manager of the UPSIDE DOWNTOWN IN CARBONDALE. I love it, I love bartending and just being there and on a really good night there is nowhere else I'd rather be and I love 99.9% of the people I meet. If you have never been there you are missing out. We are open Wednesday through Sunday with drag shows every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, Saturdays vary from week to week with beats by DJ Larry from St. Louis. So stop in and have a drink and even though I don't drink myself I have no problem making sure your glasses are full and you are having a good time.

My Interests

Learning from my mistakes, pushing myself, that one Kenny Rogers song you know what I'm talking about, economics, knowing if you knew me then you don't know me now, being able to move on when I need to, letting go, believing, dancing like no one is watching, silence.

I'd like to meet:

Shakira and Angelina Jolie for purely sinful reasons!"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." Anais Nin

Music:

Dave Mathews Band, Howie Day, Sade, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Shakira,Tegan and Sarah, Natalie Merchant, Ani Difranco, some techno, most eighties...Anything that makes me smile! I love all kinds of music with the exception of most country and classical.

Movies:

Notting Hill, Bridgette Jones's Diary, Point of No Return, Hi-Fidelity, The Sweetest Thing, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Gia, Kissing Jessica Stein, Sixteen Candles, Traffic, Reality Bites, Hitch, The Butterfly Effect,D.E.B.S., Coyote Ugly, Shag, Something New, Swingers, Love Jones, Happy Feet. My favorite movies make me either laugh or cry and the best ones make me do both.

Television:

I am not too ashamed to admit that I love television it's an easy way to escape! Project Runway, Nip Tuck, America's Next Top Model, The L Word, Law and Order, The Real World and any of the Real World Road Rules Challenges, Sex and The City, The Closer, Bullshit, Workout, and I love a good documentary.

Books:

The Lovely Bones, Valencia, Go Ask Alice, She's Come Undone, The Rat Brats Pack Snacks, and Herstory would have to be my all time favorite!!

Heroes:

Wonder Woman and Bat Girl basically any bitch with a cape or special powers! My grandmother, my sister. People who aren't afraid to live outside the box, who stand up for who they are and strive to live by their own agenda.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
