I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have one of the best jobs ever. I work with primates and love every minute of it. I'm one of the few people who can say that they have fun at work. My favorite animals are spider monkeys, capuchins, orangutans, golden lion tamarins, giant anteaters, baboons, red-capped mangabeys, dogs, cats, and wolves. I'm married to the best guy ever. I like pressing people’s buttons and playing pointless pranks on them. I speak my mind a little to freely and that often gets me into trouble. I hate to come in second place...so I never do. Second place is the first looser after all. I like to get dirty…..not that kind of dirty pervert……. I love to read nonfiction books and academic articles. Lately, I have also been reading a lot of historical fiction. I pee in the shower all the time and even once in a public pool. I am a daredevil and will try anything once. I collect Garbage Pail Kids. I thrive off of adventure and need it to function normally. Junk food and candy fuel me (especially tootsie rolls). I blow snot rockets when there’s no kleenex around or I’m wearing short sleeves. I have lots of tattoos on my arms and around my unmentionable and plan on getting more. I am fascinated with evolution, primatology, archaeology, and all different types of “ologies”. I’ve become enthralled with learning about ancient tattooing. Although I don’t look it, I am freakishly strong. I'm not going to sit here all day so if you want to know anything else just ask.
