My name is Alicia and I love life and its complicated path it has me on. I was born and raised here in Washington and I actually really love Bellingham, even if there isn't much to do when it's raining. But I always manage to find something. :) If only the Northwest had fireflies...then my life would be complete.

I crave the outdoors. I love hiking, camping, picnics, sports, sunshine, flowers, mountains, oceans, sand, boating, the wind...you name it. I like to associate the smell of the outdoors with Holidays (*Smells like Christmas*). I am very open minded and I love good conversation and true laughter. I love, love, love to laugh. You can always find me smiling. I love to sing. :) In fact I sing in the car so loud and into it that I'm probably one of those people you make fun of as you drive by. I tend to use short and to the point sentences. I strive to find adventure everyday because life is too short to not.

I am a dreamer and I get caught up in the mysteries of the world. I could drown in the starlight. I yearn to run through a field of wildflowers with no bees. I feel like I am destined for something great but I am lost in transit.

I am also very sarcastic at times. Sometimes I might come off as being a little abrasive with my sense of humor, but you'll soon find that I am only truly snarky if I am comfortable with you. I like to tease and be teased so feel free to poke fun back.

I am clumsy. Clumsy. Clumsy. I'm not quite sure where I lost my sense of balance over the years, but gravity has become a really close friend of mine. Some would say we are soul mates. I blush easily and in nervous situations I become a little flustered and talk too much. *Rabble rabble rabble!* Yeah, tell me what that's from and I'll be surprised. :)

Right now I am the victim of a ROCK CRUSHING!!! A large rock gave way on my right foot while hiking. Awful stuff. So, at the moment, I am living with my parents and healing as best as I can. Hopefully I'll be up and running, dancing, working, schooling, playing, and doing whatever I have been missing out on these past few months in no time. :)

Otherwise, while being out of commission, I have been reading, painting, bonding, and building confidence that I can get through anything. I talked to a fellow amputee named Terri the other day. He lost his leg not too long ago...but his spirit was so high and he was so kind to everyone. I am so lucky to meet beautiful people that help induce the realization that I am very lucky to be where I am. I'm not losing my foot though, thank GOD (whoever that may be), just a few toes. Very, very lucky.

I am the type of person who likes to find beauty in the things people normally overlook. Sometimes I feel like I am too captivated by [beauty]. Actually scratch that...not possible. I empathize a lot with everything and everyone around me.

Being awkward...in a good way. I just really like making people laugh even if it is at my own expense. I also try to find the humorous part in everything...even the sad parts. Most of the time I say the exact wrong thing at the wrong moment without realizing it and I blame that on my brain chugging along with too many ideas...this sometimes comes off as making me look a little, well, not all there. Trust me, I am no ditz. I enjoy making others feel better and laughter seems to help.

Quoting funny movies. That is probably basis of many conversations I have. Sorry if I quote a movie you aren't as familiar with as I am!! Then I have to explain myself awkwardly and, alas, more laughter.

I would like to think I am pretty good at singing and I am taking up piano lessons to go along with my singing. Music is really important to me! You will always find me singing a random song or humming a tune. I'm a good listener and I am good at solving problems. I can say that I am a practical person with a good head on her shoulders even if I do dream away. Many would say I have a really old soul.

My red hair or my persona. I walk with my head held high and I am nice to everyone. I think its rude not to smile at someone when you make eye contact. I miss old chivalry...I feel like I come across as really confident but sometimes I come off shy in a new situation. I'm real. I am honest, and yes, I am vulnerable too.

I love reading. I just read The Lovely Bones and it was beautiful.

Movies are wonderful. Religulous, The Boondock Saints, The Big Lebowski, Love Actually, The Holiday, What Dreams May Come, P.S. I love You, Grandmas Boy, Super Troopers, A Beautiful Mind, A Knights Tale, When Harry Met Sally, 16 Candles, The Count of Monte Cristo, Kung Fu Hustle, Singing in the Rain, The Moulin Rouge, Across the Universe, High Fidelity, Finding Neverland, Hook, American Beauty, 10 Things I Hate About you, You've Got Mail, The first Matrix, LOTR, Sister Act, The Notebook...lots more...

As For Television I usually stick to only a few shows: Dexter, Flight of the Conchords, Glee, Scrubs, Discovery Channel.

Music.... A little Ella Fitzgerald is always good. I like a jazzy vibe. But I also love Dave Matthews and I think he is amazing. I think his music is very powerful with emotion. I love Imogen Heap. I also like Something Corporate, Levi Weaver, Third Eye Blind, Bright Eyes, The Frey, The Beatles, Cursive, The Postal Service, Owl city, Anberlin, Mae, Michael Buble, Norah Jones, Modest Mouse, Air, Franz Ferdinand, Blue October, MGMT, MOther Mother, Rufus Wainwright, Brand new, and 90's music (Eve6 Bush, etc)! Otherwise a music piece that makes me FEEL. You know when you listen to a song and it speaks to your soul? It makes you think of everything beautiful and jubilant yet everything tragic at the same time? Those are the types of songs I strive for. Don't know what I am talking about? Here are a few songs to possibly download:

Hide and Seek- Imogen Heap
Crush- Dave Matthews
Let Go- Frou Frou
Eternity Memory of Lightwaves- FF10 (Give it a chance okay?)
Down- Something Corporate
Vincent- Don Mclean

I love thai food...basically I love things that appeal to the senses if you cant tell. so yes...thai food, sushi, guacamole, REAL pizza, tuna noodle casserole (made by my mom of course), macaroni, sweet potato fries, sorbet, Pho and Vietnamese Coffee, tea, asparagus and tomato Paninis...I am always looking for a new place to try something different. I cant stand always getting the same thing...predictability saddens me. Always try something new because you won't know what you are missing out on.

My Parents. My sister. My friends. Hope. Childlike wonder. Laughter.

oh and LOVE. Yes that is seven.

The future and where I will be. Finding someone who really cares about me and shows it.

Traveling. I want to grow old and retire now so I can travel for the rest of my days.

I think about love, my dad being sick.

Living an active and healthy life and how to be the best I can be.

Watching a good movie with someone I care about or surfing the web. Maybe you'll see me downtown having a few drinks. I am not that into the party scene. I have a close knit group of friends and I am okay with that. Plus I seem to always get sick when I drink.

I hate to admit that I used to be overweight. I got made fun of a lot in school and I think it has effected me deeper than I let on. I have lost the majority of it and now I am trying my best to tone up and be as fit and healthy as possible. It is a life change. Let's just say right now I am REALLY bummed that I can't exercise like I used to because of the injury. But I think everyone goes through an ugly duckling stage...it's pretty much inevitable. But I feel like I have grown into a confident and beautiful woman. Anyone who says different can just get over themselves. RAWR!

If you actually read my profile and could relate or found something that made you laugh. Looks aren't everything so if you are messaging based on my pictures I usually know. Message me if you want to be friends and maybe lead to more. Message me if you are serious about whatever it is you feel for me...because I am not the type that is interested in getting hurt or strung along.

If you found me in the slightest bit witty or interesting then why not say hi. I will risk saying I am worth it.
