About Me


Entertainment:
Comics/Anime, Computer games, Dancing, Live music/Music, Movies/Film, Nightclubs/Parties, Symphony/Opera, T.V./Videos/DVDs, Theater arts
I like fiddling with things. I can get crazed about trying to figure out how something works. . and I do mean it's already 4AM and I haven't slept and I'm still trying to figure it out, kinda crazed. That goes for pretty much anything that's caught my attention.
Health, sports, and fitness:
Aerobics/Exercise, Billiards/Pool, Inline skating, Meditation, Nutrition, Running, Tennis/Racquet sports, Weight training, Yoga
i hate the gym, though regardless how i feel about it, i manage to go 3-4 times a week. kinda sad when my niece has to explain to me what's going on when we're watching college football. . of course i just root for the team with the cuter quarterback.
Home and Family:
Cooking, Crafts, Decorating, Entertaining, Home improvement, Marriage, Pets
My home and family are important to me, though i think we could be one of the postcards for dysfunctional families, i still love them to death. Through thick and thin and boy is my patience getting thin. My friends closest friends I consider family. Don't mess with them because if you do, you're messing with me as well. And I KNOW people.
Scene:
Conservative, Homebody/Nester, Preppy, Suburban
SCENE 1:'I'm cooking dinner, chatting with my best friend, catching up with the goings on of our lives. we go plop down, meals in hand, in front of the tv and see what's on tivo. of course while eating and watching tv, we provide our own commentaries.'
SCENE 2:'It's another beautiful day out, another typical nice day for southern california. The ones that the rest of the country envies us for. I'm sitting at coffee bean and tea leaf, coffee in hand and book in the other. The street is just busy with activity, people walking around, guys strutting about with their dogs while all the while getting hit on, friends meeting up to go walk to that place to have brunch. everyone seems happy. life is good.'
SCENE 3:'THE GYM. UGH. GET IN. WORKOUT. GET OUT. NUFF SAID.'
SCENE 4: 'It's 2am at the clubs and i'm happily buzzed. People are getting thrown out of the bars and people are starting to gather outside. Did i mention it's 2am? What time is it? SIDEWALK SALE!! Bargain basement prices! Of course here i am trying to sell my friends off to the lowest bidder. Why lowest bidder you ask? Because, 'I PAY YOU 5 DOLLA! HE LUB YOU LONG TIM!'. . . . . . . . . . go me for another scene.

My Interests

what's up with hiking? i like nature and all but couldn't they just install people-walkers on hills? where's a transporter when you need one. . BEAM ME UP SCOTTY! or can't we just sit by the lake and throw pebbles in the water instead? or just play Starcraft ;)

Stereotypical..sure..but don't they say stereotypes are usually based on fact?
