So this is me....

About Me

Navy brat (lived in Hawaii, Japan, Philippines, California) now live in the 'burbs of Seattle, WA. Westside Kaua`i will always be my home though. My family is everything to me. I like to have fun and make friends - but I'm old enough to be too impatient for b*s* from anyone. I just want to have fun and enjoy life - so please don't add your drama to mine! Uhm, what else do you want to know?

Oh yeah! My brother is a rockstar. You don't believe me? Check out his band J minus - this band ROCKS!

And, my sister is famous too! Check her out on IMDB !

Me? I'm just me!

My Interests

my 2 dogs (a Boston Terrier & Lab Mix) and 3 cats, dancing/clubbing, hanging out w/friends, me-time, board games, whitewater rafting, going to the beach/being in the sun, traveling, cooking/baking, Van Gogh, musicals & plays....!

I'd like to meet:

--Someone who'll sing and mean that song to me!

I'd like to reconnect with friends I met along the way...or those I didn't quite get to be friends with but did meet - there's always a 2nd chance!

I know everyone on my friends list personally!! (My top 24 are all family!) I want to keep it that way. I only add people I know (or once knew) - that includes bands! So make sure if I might not remember you, to send a message with your friend request!!

Music:

anything I can dance and/or sing to, all types of music (country included - but not most "gangsta" rap) and anything Sarah Mclachlan! My brother, being the rockstar he is becoming, has started getting me into music and start up bands. I'm finally getting into the Seattle music scene (it's only taken me 8yrs)!

Check out my brother's band - they ROCK:

J Minus Acoustic Show at the Lyon's Den in Bothell, WA on 12/1/06, performing "After Midnight". My brother is on the right on lead guitar. I took this video with my camera! :-) .. (To hear the full song check out and buy their cd at http://www.cdbaby.com/jminus )
