"Delicious Ambiguity"

About Me

About me... what can I say? I grew up in a small town in Texas, decided that it wasn't what I wanted... so I moved to the great state of CA. I live in a beautiful community called Rancho Santa Margarita - located primely between the Saddleback Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It's absolutely gorgeous here! At this point in my life, I'm trying to explore everything I can... live the day to it's fullest and live life like it's your last day. You never know... do you?? :-) I work hard - I play harder! I love life and enjoy it immensely!!!------------------------------------------------ -----------UPDATE: Yes, I grew up in Texas and did live in California - but have now moved on to the East Coast - Maryland, to be exact. Ahhh... the joys of being able to say I'm officially BI-COASTAL. That's right, I said it - I'm Bi... Coastal, that is.Enough about this - moving on.... who wants to hear themselves ramble about irrevelant things?

My Interests

My interets are anything from watching boring documentaries to traveling. Cooking to writing. Hanging with my friends at a local pub and catching up to watching old B/W movies. From drawing to reading. Checking out my favorite concerts to comedy shows. I love to just go out and photograph random things to catching random bands.Taking long relaxing baths (I know that's sad - that this particular item has officially been included in my life as an "interest") You guys have NO IDEA - it's my SANCTUARY. Nice bubble bath, glass of wine in candle light. Now that's what interests me - RELAXATION AT IT'S FULLEST POTENTIAL WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS.

I'd like to meet:

The new and the old. New people who share the same interests / goals in life - yet the older friends whom I've left behind over the years. You know who you are - send a message if you come across me...Ok Go - Here It Goes Again

Music:

I grew up in musically well diversed family - I love everything from the Beatles to Jeff Buckley. Stevie Ray Vaughn to Damien Rice. James Brown to Metallica. Bob Marley to Madonna. The Verve to Miles Davis. The Cure to Snoop Dog. Get it? Got it? Good! I grew up and went through many of musical phases. Odd, I know - but I can find something in each song that I love - from the lyrics to the riffs, chorus to the chords played.. the drum beats to the harmonics of a guitar. Music is my escape. I love it in all kinds. Rock, Jazz, Brit Pop, Blues, Raggae, Synth, Metal, Electronica, House, Pop, Folk, R & B... You name it, I love it....although, I'm about to put my foot down - growing up in Texas - I should like country, right? WRONG. That is one genre of music that I cannot stand. Well, there may be a song or two out there where you can rough me up enough to get me on a dance floor and two-step or boot-scoot with you! ;-)

Television:

If it's not a historical documentary or a biography of some sort - I'm probably not watching it. Although, I do love watching the Food Network. I do consider myself a fairly great cook... okay, listen to me - so modest.Nip/Tuck - when it comes back on. Otherwise, since Sex in the City has been cancelled - no series of any sort... except the occasional Seinfeld episode.

Books:

Right now I'm on to Michael Crichton "Next" and a book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez called "Living to Tell the Tale".

Heroes:

Brian Griffin.
