About Me

In the words of the great Bob Schneider..."I just want to feel good, I don't want to hurt nobody, I just want to get a good time out of my life." My friends describe me as happy, energetic, nice, laid-back, beautiful, smart and charismatic. I describe me as lucky to have such great friends, I love my friends! The following cheesy numerology pretty much has me dead on. Your personality: One is the number of leadership and new beginnings. You rush into adventure and your optimism helps you weather disappointment. You are a problem-solver and a generous friend. Others appreciate your energy, if not always your impatience. Your Passions: You want it all. At work you are ambitious and hungry to learn. Sports, animal rights, and travel also keep your fires burning bright. Your Life Quest: To live fully, without rules and restrictions. You're doing your best not to squander any of the time or talent you have to give to the world. You crave validation for living honestly and being your authentic self.

My Interests

A girls gotta dance! Music is my life! If singing poorly doesn't count, then dance is how I express myself through music. So top favorite things to do or enjoy: live music, dance, wine and cheese, theater, books, spending quality time with friends, meeting people who are passionate about something and hearing their story, cheese and wine, learning new things, being spontaneous, travel, bargain shopping, cooking (but it all depends on the kitchen), wine and cheese, famous/inspirational quotes, outdoor festivals, nice people, francais, cheese and wine.

I'd like to meet:

John Cusack. Actually I'd like to marry John. I would love to meet everyone else. I love meeting new people. However, all of my Friends on MySpace are people I have actually met in real life or somehow know, so please don't be offended if I don't know you and therefore ignore your friend request. If you really want to be my friend please send a message and say why.

Music:

Everything. Or 90% of everything. Seriously.

Movies:

I do enjoy movies but rarely see them. Kinda goes along with the no TV thing. Although watching a movie would be the most worthy excuse for turning a Television set on. The last movies I saw in the theater were Into the Wild and The Bothersome Man (awesome!). I just discovered this super cool theater in PDX called Your Living Room, which is like a ritzier version of Austin's Alamo Drafthouse + Boise's The Flicks rolled into one. WooHoo! I'll be enjoying a lot more film + wine in the near future!

Television:

I no longer own a TV. When handed a remote I will select news programs in languages I don't understand. If someone else turns the darn thing on...then I am glued. Which is why I don't watch, my time on earth would waste away and grow thin... like an Olsen twin.

Books:

I love to read! In the realm of fiction I prefer spy novels, suspense/thrillers, love stories and chick lit. I love to learn about new things so I tend to roam the library non-fiction shelves aimlessly until something strikes my fancy. Usually really dorky stuff like soapmaking, grammar, space theories or philosophy. It's good to know a little about a lot! Right now I am reading about sound engineering, the cosmic history of the universe(finished) and Erasmus' The Praise of Folly, with a couple girly love stories, a friend's screenplay and some comedic short stories thrown in for good measure. I just finished Wally Lamb's "I Know This Much Is True" WOW!

Heroes:

Audrey Hepburn, my brother, my inner child, passionate people, everyone who has lent a helping hand over the years - too many to list, The Little Engine That Could!
