About Me


[NOTE: you can highlight the text with your cursor to make it easier to read..]
Just your run of the mill mischief maker. I'm pretty sure I would qualify for M.E.N.S.A. I love theater, music, and booze! Lately I have been really into wine and I will soooo drink you under the table. I'd like to become a connoisseur, but I would never be able to distinguish good from bad. If it gets me tipsy, it's gold ;).
Hopefully I will be starting school in the summer out here in sunny New Mexico. Not sure for what just yet. Can't wait to blow those financial aid checks on some good partying HA HA. Just joking, I wouldn't waste tax dollars on booze, what is wrong with you.
The past year I have been making the majority of my income playing poker(I told you I was M.E.N.S.A material). It is cool to be a small time card shark. I mostly play on Party Poker! If you are interested in cards check out any of my links or read my blogs. It's free to download and play the fake money tables! If you decide to play for real in the future, you will get a nice bonus. If you have questions about signing up please message me for my IM. I'm always willing to help out. If you download directly from the banner, you get a bonus and I get a bonus. Download from anywhere else and we both get screwed, lol

My Interests


I love theater, I am really getting into cooking. I wish i could go to culinary school but that shit is expensive GRRRR. I was pretty close to spending my life savings on opening a tiny restaurant last year, but it was in Arkansas which is too much of a red state for me. Hopefully I will settle down somewhere on the west coast I'm done with school. I'm itching to do some traveling. Mostly south and central america. Those places are cheap! obviously poker is another interest. I play a lot of Texas Hold em but I'd like to learn to play omaha or stud soon.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is not a deuchebag really. I will mostly use this to network with poker friends across the globe. I still love to meet new people, and am an avid fan of independant music(as plenty of you have discovered). I also love teaching poker(this really helps me with my game) so any of you newbs need help with your game, go ahead and message me or post in my blogs!! XOXO - Ali
