What left to do but complain?

About Me

Hola! I'm sOndra with an "O." Not to be confused with Sandra. I don't know her and yes, I live in the Silicon Valley and am by trade, an Engineer.
That's usually where people back click and think, "total fuck!ng nerd." Yeah well opinions are like assholes and everyone's got one. I happened to be a black sheep in my major. I am NOT you're typical enginerd. I DO focus on my work and have aspirations, perhaps some too big for my britches, but aim and set the bar high right? I can't help but be an over achiever and push myself in anything that I do.
I like to push the limits and be creative/crazy/fun. I tend to make people blush with my outlandish behavior, but I do have a serious side. Sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble, but whatever. Other times I don't need to say a damn word to get my point across.
I'm just fun-loving and love to laugh.
San Francisco is a must at least twice a month when I have the skrilla's, going to Berkeley, kind of a hippy at heart (I do shave though...hahaha) I am an uber busy girl with work and all, but I do have time to go snowboarding during the winter, hitting up Santa Cruz to soak up some sun and escape the Concrete Jungle (aka San Jose) Square Bubble I lovingly call Downtown.
Being an enginerd, I am surrounded by guys. 80% of my friends are guys. I hang with them, drink beer and watch Sports Center with them, we kick it...get over it. They're friends, always have and always will.
Anything else you feel you need to know please feel free to ask. And no I will not make out with you. =)
MY PET PEEVES, WELL YOU MIGHT AS WELL KNOW WHAT IRKS ME:
people that interrupt or won't let you finish what you're trying to say;
people that call you on your phone and ask 'who is this?' my reply is b!tch who is this, YOU called ME;
jealous girls that can't let go;
people who don't believe me when I say I am an Engineer;
when commercials get hella loud on the telly for no aparent reason at all;
girls that can't walk in heels ugh hunny don't wear em;
violence;
feet in general gross;
guys who's arrogance proceeds them (I'm a GREAT judge of character and I can see right through you and the bullshit);
shit talk;..
