About Me



i talk a lot and very fast but am a good listener. i adore my cats. i snap a lot when i dance. a bob seger fanatic. i could live on cheese pizza. pretty fair and easy-going but excitable too. not hard to please.
i don't believe we do enough for the planet or for mankind. so here's a teeny little something we can do while we spend our time on a computer:

My Interests


Click Here to put this symbol in your profile!

kickboxing, decorating my new house!, redesigning the landscaping at my new house, environment-friendly alternatives to things, alternative and integrative medicine, crossword puzzles, mac-n-cheese, sleaze rock, travelling to see good music, kitty cats, pizza & nachos, playing the "would you rather?" game, baskin robbins ice cream cakes (mint choc chip), finding good face mosturizer (that doesn't test on animals), as well as the quest to find a deodorant that does not contain aluminum but still keeps you dry and smelling fresh (and does not test on animals), animal rights in general, enviromental causes, different kinds of people, not being at work, dancing alone in my living room, dancing with others wherever, driving around with the windows down and the music UP, taking the scenic route as opposed to the direct route, pajama pants, buying exercise videos but never using them, listening to Jack Johnson's "Banana Pancakes" and John Mayer's "Gravity" on repeat, taking pictures, looking at pictures, making mixed cd's for friends, cheesy musicals, shopping for clothes and shoes, the unnecessary over-use of "quotation" "marks" (especially "air quotes"), doodling, politics and the pursuit for a true democracy, going to Target for the fun of it and not really having anything i need to buy, jet's pizza (square only, please), apples and peanut butter, taking nice long walks in nature with someone interesting to talk to, ghost stories, randomly hearing hall & oates in a seedy bar, getting into Mark's car and hearing Ziggy Marley or Johnny Cash playing, folk remedies that work, extra-special patchouli incense by Primo, Crazy Wisdom, Trent's hugs & time for 'us', Angi's free time and driving around time, Adriana's laundry list of yummy delicious places to eat, Jeffy's laugh, Oriana's gestures, Jessica's witty comments, Mike G.'s point-of-view and general good-nature, Megan's samebrain and taste in most things good, Marcus - as is.

I'd like to meet:

people who are real and not trying to be over-the-top or "cool". people who believe in second chances. people who don't let negative ideas entrench their thinking or perception. people who believe in creating harmony and working towards peace. people who aren't judgemental or hold grudges. people who can appreciate, even if they don't necessarily like, my love of Tori as well as my love for classic rock. people who don't label people. people who are open and honest. people who can let loose and have fun. people who will sit and watch bad tv with me (and maybe eat a pizza too). people who will go dancing with me. people who will walk in nature with me. people who need people. they're the luckiest people, after all.
and these boys:
