I am here for Friends

About Me


All I really know about myself is that:
I answer to the name of Tina
I try to love Jesus and He loves me back even when I fail
I am a curly-headed brunette whose hair reflects her state of being
I love to being around people, numbers and a part of creation processes
I live a ten minute walk to the beach
I am really terrible at talking on the phone to my friends
Sometimes I think too much
I am really really blessed to be who I am and live where I live and do what I do.

If you don't know what that is, just ask.

You're a total nutball who will do anything for attention.
The first to take a dare, you'll pull almost any stunt.

My Interests

I love to meet people, whether I've met you before or not. I love to talk, laugh, eat, drink, cook, take long walks, sing and generally make music, study, read, think, ask questions, listen, write, and explore the mountians and the beaches. I love God and doing the work He wants me to do. I love my church, South Coast Church, and working with Chi Alpha at UCSB. You can check out their websites at www.southcoastchurch.org and www.xasb.org, respectively.

I'd like to meet:

You!

Music:

I'm really into singer-songwriter stuff. Just a guy or a gal and a guitar. And jazz. And screamo rock from the South. Emery.

Movies:

Have you ever seen a Bollywood movie? Fantasic they are, full of color and the good stuff of life - gut wrenching emotion, euphoric hapiness, ahh.

Television:

I don't really watch TV. Sometimes I'll catch a MLB game at the neighbors. I like to watch my turtle, too. Look at him go!

adopt your own virtual pet!

Books:

Pretty much anything well written. I am currently reading Saveur, Naming the Elephant, the Joy of Cooking and as always, my Bible.

Heroes:

Jesus (no sarcasm intended)

Once Upon a Time...

There lived a boy. He was shorter and darker than the others, and a little ugly too. His face was built on a curve: the chin was a little to the right of his mouth, his right eye drooped, he could n...
