About Me

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go” ~T.S. ElliotRIP Bodhi 'The Doo' Harris 1994-2006
Bodhi died on October 21, 2006. He would have been 12 on Halloween. I loved him very much and he will always be a part of my soul !!! BIG BAD CHINESE-SCOTCH/ IRISH MOFO !!! My interests and desires are as extremely varied as my life experience, so I am just as comfortable in city, in rivers and mountains and in the depth of souls and minds. Moved from Colorado where I lived for over a decade looking for mountains to ski and climb, rivers to paddle, and trails to blaze. I lived in Moab for two seasons. I lived in the Bay area for two years before Flagstaff.Have experienced life without holding back and am finally looking to settle into a nursing career. I am an EMT and in Nursing school at NAU in Flagstaff, AZ and I love my school and classmates VERY MUCH !!!Been to many places in the world and favorites would include Costa Rica and British Columbia. Always dreaming of Alaska, Nepal and Patagonia. I even went to school in France.Big, burley sweetheart who has insatiable curiosity and two canine children which I adore.

Can hang with any crowd, but prefer dynamic and intelligent. Mean people suck !!! Stupid people need not apply to hang out with either.

p.s I am a great cook, masseuse and a hella good House DJ....oh and I can probably drink a lot more than you...not proud...not proud !!..

Colorado Blue Columbine is absolutely my favorite flower !

My Interests

Mostly, my dogs Bodhi and Nicco! Neice and nephew. Love beautiful women and intimacy. Music!Music!Music!(lots and all), Banff Mountain Film Festival. Patagonia, Calvin Klein and Dansko. Down comforters. Flip flops. Sarongs. Scrubs. Weather. All of my gear and buying more gear. Single Speeds. Tele skis. I play lots of instruments, but love my Djembe. Nursing and Emergency Medicine. Heavy basslines and shakin' my ass, travel, yogilates, Transcendental Meditation, great conversation, discovering new things, people who are insatiably curious and passionate, cooking fabulous meals. Mountain life above 8000 ft. Being around people who I love and inspire me.

I'd like to meet:

People who are as dynamic as I am. If you can follow where my crazy mind goes, 'you got it goin on' upstairs.

Anyone up for activities that involves water, dirt, rock, sand or snow suits me just fine. That kind of up for anything attitude is perfect (especially invlving the outdoors).Looking for people who inspire me- a muse perhaps. Someone who likes to explore and be outside, but loves to cook and cuddle at the end of the day. You just gotta love ALL MUSIC and be able to put up with my singing and loud volume.Must have a huge infectious smile and goofy sense of humor! Someone who makes me laugh and smile just by being around, talking to on the phone, or just thinking about (these are female requirements, of course). Someone I am instantly comfortable with enough to share anything and everything with.

Hospitals are not safe havens, but the ICU is awesome!!!

Last week I worked in the ICU at VVMC. So I think we can add ICU to the list of wards I may choose to work on. It definetely helps me get over my fear of multiple illnesses and meds. I used to shy aw...
