About Me

..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5"Life is not the amount of breaths you take. It’s the moments that take your breath away."Hmm... about me huh? Well let's see, I am a native Vancouverite (we are a rare breed) who absolutely adores this city. That's not to say that I am adverse to living elsewhere as I have, but nothing comes close to being as great as here for me. I adore traveling and have just returned from France. I think of myself as outgoing which can sometimes be mistaken for being a wee bit crazy ;) and I love meeting new people. I am very lucky in that I have an amazing job that never bores me... In fact, it provides me with endless hours of entertainment (special props to Abby for that one). I take pleasure in life's little moments. I find too many of us are in such a hurry to go nowhere. By rushing through life we often miss out on the little things that make it so unique and beautiful. Hmm... I guess that's all for now. I will write more later I suppose. Ciao!Ok, so anyone who knows me even remotely will laugh quite hard at the following description... It could not be anymore inacurate... well except the part where it calls me a geek. I am definitely a geek, just not a computer geek :P

My Interests

Music, movies, travel, art, hockey, waterskiing, surfing, poker, laughing... the list really does go on.

I'd like to meet:

NOBODY who doesn't send a message along with a friend request! This is quickly becoming one of my biggest pet peeves. To all of those out there who do, you are wonderful...I posted the above message over a week ago and have since received truckloads of friend requests without even a brief little note of introduction. So for all of you out there who sent me a request and it was denied, it is because YOU DID NOT PAY ATTENTION! Either you can't read (in which case, I really am sorry), you are lazy or you just don't care. The latter two are not qualities that I look for in friends. So ha, there we go, I feel better now! For everyone else out there, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Music:

Nada Surf, Death Cab For Cutie, Neverending White Lights, Deep Dish, Lowest of the Low, The Bravery, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Finley Quaye, Massive Attack, Fall Out Boy, James Blunt, Rilo Kiley, The Strokes, Bob Marley, Weezer, The Clash, The Cure, Iggy Pop, Metallica (hee hee), Peaches, Gordon Lightfoot, Hollertronix and a million others... Far too many to list here!

Movies:

I hate this question! There are so many great ones. Donnie Darko, American Beauty, A History of Violence, The Devil's Rejects, Garden State, City of God, Breakfast at Tiffanys, anything scary...

Television:

HOCKEY! Arrested Development is wicked, House is fantastic and The Family Guy rules. I should add that I enjoy all of these on my fantabulous 13 inch television! Whoooweeee!

Books:

Unfortunately, I am not currently reading any books (I am taking recommendations though). I do however have about 15 scripts sitting on the floor of my office that I should read. I really enjoy anything by Douglas Coupland and one of my all time favorites is "Luminosity" by Frank Mcenaney and Gillian Hemstock. It's pretty amazing really.

Heroes:

My mom for always being there for me and for exhibiting such strength and bravery this past year.
