I am sophisticated, always smiling =), and very sarcastic.

My Self-Summary

I work hard, I play harder.

I was born in California and I use the words "like" and "dude" inappropriately =)

I look at everyday as an opportunity to do something amazing, utilize the talents I have been given, and achieve self satisfaction.

I'm honest to a fault. I LOATHE sugar-coating. I'd rather skip the song and dance and get down to brass tacks.

I'm VERY sarcastic. It's always in good fun, but if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen ;-P

I have no problem being the butt of a joke- if you can't laugh at yourself then you have no business laughing at someone else.

I don't like to fight or argue but if I find myself in the situation, I never back down and I always want to have the last word.

I have brown hair and blonde moments EVERYDAY.

MUSIC is my life.

I'm very loyal, my family, my job, and my friends mean a lot to me.

I am a procrastinator to the extREME, I find I work a LOT better under pressure.

I've got some tom-boyishness going on. I play video games, I love cars & LOVE sports! I still/and forever will watch cartoons. I'll always choose football over going to the mall... in fact I despise shopping.

What I’m doing with my life

I used to own a DJ'ing company but I quit to move to Midland, MI for school. Next I spent 5 years working in the catering business and thought I had found my calling until I was offered a job opportunity with Hummer. I left catering to work there I QUICKLY realized I HATE the car business. The hospitality industry is where I belong, so I'M BACK! I love the demanding schedules, the non-stop rush, the chaos- everything about it!

So, I work A LOT and by a lot I mean 7 days a week 365 days. The way I look at it, I'm getting the crazy days out of the way so when I'm older I can relax.

While most people are out to make the big bucks- money isn't motivation for me. Of course I want to be stable and have some extra in savings but a lavish lifestyle and expensive properties is just not that important to me. A job to me, is about putting your talents to good use and being happy doing what you do.

I’m really good at

EVERYTHING. ... what? you think I'm joking? haha. Really, if and when I put my mind to things, I'm usually good at it. The problem here is, I'm too easily distracted.

I specialize in breaking awkward silences and making a complete idiot of myself, proud of it too. I'm pretty awesome at witty banter, like I said I never back down from a challenge.

Random conversations. I often find myself starting to tell a story from the middle with no preface or introduction and I never realize how confused the listeners are until I look at their faces. (I bet you have a confused look right now)

Working. haha... I've been at it since I was old enough to get a work permit!

The first things people usually notice about me

Well I guess this would be something YOU tell ME... but I have heard:

1. My "exotic" look. People ALWAYS try and guess my ethnicity which is so entertaining for me! Give it your best shot... No one has ever guessed it correctly.

2. My eyes and smile. For some reason, I am notorious for facial expressions (my left eyebrow has a mind of it's own haha) a lot of people say my eyes do more talking then my mouth and I am almost ALWAYS smiling/laughing.

3. A TON of people tell me their first impression of me is that I am a stuck up, cold-hearted jerk. My greatest friends today will tell you the same thing.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

a.) I don't read as much as I probably should... I am not opposed to it, if someone hands me a book and says "this was so good" I will give it a shot. Some I enjoyed: Bill Rancic's You're Hired, Robert Green's 48 Laws of Power, Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code, I like a lot of Shakespeare's work, Stephen King & Michael Crichton are up there with my fav's.

b.) I LOVE MOVIES! some top favorites: Gladiator, Nightmare Before Christmas, Braveheart, Collateral, Gone in 60 Seconds, Face Off, SCARFACE, Fight Club, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Gridiron Gang, Beacause I Said So, Godfather Parts 1& 2 Boondock Saints, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Napolean Dynamite, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, We Own the Night, American Gangster, Shark Tale, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, all of the BATMAN movies, Life as a House, Indiana Jones Trilogy

c.) MUSIC IS MY LIFE! want to talk ecclectic? I am the definition of it. I listen to everything and ANYTHING. I am partial to ROCK- the greats like: The Beatles *moment of silence for the Fab 4* The Doors, The Rolling Stones, QUEEN, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Audioslave, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Simon & Garfunkel, Velvet Revolver, AC/DC, John Mellancamp, Journey, Creedance Cleerwater Revival, Johnny Cash, Steve Miller Band, 311, The Ramones, Metallica, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, Third Eye Blind, Ingram Hill, Stabbing Westward, Howie Day, Linkin Park, Pearl Jam- But I love it all- country, rap, hip hop, techno, trance, alternative, pop, classical, even some opera

d.) Pizza was a gift from God, I'm quite partial to Italian BUT NOTHING beats mom's homemade meals.

The six things I could never do without

aside from the obvious: food, water & oxygen.

1.) My senses- sounds weird, but think about it. We (those who have use of all 5 senses) take them for granted- you know it's true.

2.) Family & Friends- although I am pretty good at entertaining myself for hours... I doubt I could last a lifetime

3.) My cell phone- annoying, impractical and drops calls like crazy but I use it constantly for work and play PLUS I'd be screwed if I was actually expected to memorize phone numbers!

4.) A Car- materialistic? no! I am scared to DEATH of other people's driving.

5.) MUSIC- it is my obsession.

6.) Gum- Trident White to be specific. I chew gum CONSTANTLY!

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I'm always thinking! About a lot of serious things or completely random. My future, I analyze thing's that aren't meant to be analyzed, worst case scenario's, What-if? Why people do what they do, politics

I also think of really stupid stuff like: how I can spend money I don't have, what I want to eat right after I just ate. Why, no matter how abusive you are to the tube and twist it around and around does AquaFresh toothpaste ALWAYS come out in perfectly separated stripes? and why does the green one taste so good!?

and why when I compare myself to myself on this site, I'm only a 94% match for myself?

On a typical Friday night I am

I'm usually working but say I have a Friday off... you may find me at the movies, at a concert, at drag races, at a bar or club, bowling, laser tag, making prank phone calls, euchre/holdem tournaments, camping, road tripping somewhere, hanging out with friends playing board games, crashing random parties, forking someone's lawn- it really all depends on my mood!

I've also been known to stay home in my pajamas, playing video games or burning brain cells with my boyfriend On-Demand! haha

However during NBA Playoff, March Madness, World Series, Or Sunday Night Football- I am at home in my lazy boy ignoring my phone. =)

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I've pretty much laid out my entire life story on this thing, geez.

let's see: I sometimes drink right from the bottle !!! disgusting, I know. very ladylike haha. ;-)

when the sign says "Take One" I usually multiply it by at least 10

I am the idiot in the car next to you at a red light banging on imaginary drums or rocking the air guitar singing AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE with all the windows down.

I'm always singing or dancing at really unusual times... like up and down the aisles of the grocery store.

I blurt out whatever I'm thinking as I'm thinking it, and I answer anything

You should message me if

You agree that Hot August Night by Neil Diamond is the GREATEST Live album ever recorded * LIVE, NOT the greatest album ever. and I mean THUS FAR, as in there could potentially be a greater one to come out sometime in the future ;-) *

certainly not limited to just that however, I'm always up for talking to new people!
