I'd rather you discover my personality on your own, and vice versa, but if you insist on using this medium of communication FINE! Read on my friend....I am quirky and energentic, I love laughing and making others laugh. I am an environmentalist. Sometimes I come off as shy, but in actuality I'm observing and once I find my niche...the term "shy" is no longer applicable. I'm a goof-ball around my friends and family, love people watching (love LAX and JFK!), dancing, movies, theater and peanut butter. I'm the one that you laugh at on the freeway because I'm singing a classic rock song at the top of my lungs or worse a country song, and probably swerving to the rhythm of the song (or what i think the rhythm is). Yes, I am imaging I'm performing on a bar top. :) I am a hopeless romantic.....and though I don't have time for any of that right now.....let me tell you...he will be a lUckY man :) :)...... 'cause i'm a good cook. LOVE LOVE LOVE traveling. none of that tourist traveling crap, where your favorite country is the one that is the most americanized. i love immersing myself into a culture, observing, talking and eating with locals, taking long runs and jumping into rivers and oceans that i come across (preferable nude). i have gone running in five different countries and played soccer with the locals in each of them. i have gone swimming with sharks, turtles, and yes...sting rays, and most importantly amazing friends. i live with my eyes open and absorb it like a sponge. sometimes problematic. ignorance is definitely bliss. i understand people, their objectives and their actions more than i sometimes would like to. i'm empathic. makes for a good actress, but a "weak" person. i desperately try to be non-judgemental and forgive or reason myself away from hating those that have wronged me. g.bush and...you've got some 'splaining to do. I don't know who said this, but i like it. "The Only Thing Constant, is Change"

My Interests

Theater, film, television, stand-up comedy...with a twist of marine biology. I work in estuaries with cute little sea slugs trying to save the world from the demise of global warming/g. bush.
