My Interests

I like the beach, scuba diving, hangliding, reading, movies--all kinds, and my Jeep Wrangler TJ. I love to travel.

I'd like to meet:

A punk-rock cowboy who will follow me around the world. --
I guess I can settle for some interesting people in the Seoul area.

Music:

I love music. My interets range from George Strait to Reggaeton. A little extreme, I know. That's me!

Television:

Nip/Tuck, Supernatural, the OC and other useless teen dramas that all the main characters are being played by people my age.

Books:

Memoirs of a Geisha, Moby Dick, Daughter of Fortune, Farewell my Concubine, Count of Monte Cristo, Raise the Red Lantern, Shadow of the Wind, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Heroes:


Ok, so Lila isn't really a hero of mine. I just couldn't figure out where to put a picture of her. She's smiling!!!
