About Me

I just got married June 9th, 2007. I like chiffon dresses, puppies, the mini brownie tray from Albertson's, discovering new forms of public transportation, politically progressive folks, food with friends, planning weddings, sex ed, talking until 7am, and that I’m not always what people expect.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mostly looking to find old friends and myspace stalk my current friends :) If you're creepy and over 30 I'm sorry but I'm really not interested, really not that interested in creepy and under 30 either.

Music:

Everything...favorites that come to mind tonight include Something Corporate, Janet Jackson, Cher, Joss Stone, Everclear, Nirvana, Garden State Soundtrack, Jason Mraz, Yellow Card, Tim McGraw, Black Eyed Peas, Shakira (better in spanish than English), Lauren Hill, Jo Dee Messina, Alison Krauss, Unwritten Law, Elton John, India Arie, and Madonna...I promise I have one of the most eclectic CD collections ever. Pretty much I like anything that makes me think, sing, laugh, cry, or dance.

Movies:

Garden State, Good Will Hunting, 10 Things I Hate About You, Iron Jawed Angels, How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days.

Books:

The Perks of Being a Walflower, The Prophet, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, Great Gatsby, Southland.

Heroes:

Madonna, Margaret Sanger, Alice Paul, Abraham Lincoln, People that live thier passions, People that love and can wear their heart on their sleeves.
