Drea!!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Optimistically Determined. (Those two go hand-in-hand when you think about it.) I am one of those people who can't sit still. I am constantly finding ways to be productive with my time. Whether it be learning a new sport, a new craft, or going to Disneyland to just read a book and watch the people walk by, I try to learn as much as I can and take in those around me along the way. Life is too short for regret and grudges. Put the shit aside, and enjoy the people around you. Balance is a good thing. Especially when walking and chewing gum. My tatto is a good example of my affinity towards Balance. What else?... OH yes, guilt is a mother-fucker. I totally believe in Karma... that bitch needs to hurry up and pay me though - she is waaaay past due in her payments.

My Interests

Watching the horizon as I sit on my board. Doing puzzles on rainy days. Losing my voice whilst cheering on my Trojans. Singing out loud in my car. Laughing at bad movies and crying at great ones. Volleyball, surfing, skiing, golf, softball, soccer, college sports, literature - I love old books (I even like the smell of them) & records, getting lost on purpose, jumping out of planes, Garfield's sarcasim, and Monkey Socks!!!

83% LUSH

I'd like to meet:

People to make me laugh. Laughter is the elixir of life - you just can never have enough of it.

I also believe that you need at least 3 hugs a day in order to be happy and sane. So I give you this video...
On Friday, August 3rd I was surprised to see SMG and FPJ standing across from me at MY baggage claim! Since I didn't want to be rude and point my camera at her, I decided to follow her out the door (after getting my baggage, of course) and sneak a picture of her when she wasn't looking.THEN on Saturday, Sept 8th I saw Riley (aka Marc Blucas) at Costco!!! I tried to take a picture with my camera phone, but he kept turning around. The boy looked good though. AND DAMN! is he tall!

NEW SECTION!!!
