I am educated, dedicated, and spunky!.
My Self-Summary
I am a fun junkie. Life can be stressful and if you can't laugh
you're in trouble. I love the outdoors, hanging out with friends
and watching movies.
I have a degree in Criminal Justice and have worked in many
different facilities. I started out working at a level 5 super max
prison, then went on to work in a county jail and most recently
worked for a non-profit company that houses Department of
Corrections work release inmates. I feel very strongly that
everyone makes mistakes, but what you do about it afterward is what
speaks to your character. I believe in second chances and have
spent many days and nights dedicating myself to helping others
re-enter society after being released from prison.
My most important job is being a mom. I have a 7 year old son who
is absolutely hilarious. We have a great time hanging out and
laughing!
What I’m doing with my life
Working, playing, starting grad school in a few months and trying
not to let anything keep me from achieving my goals.
Unfortunately I was laid off from the halfway house last year, and
now I am doing something completely unrelated to my field. I work
for a major airline in the Operations Department. I absolutely love
it!
I’m really good at
Listening, caring, writing, driving (ha!), laughing, living, and
being a great friend and calling you out on your bullshit.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes and my outgoing personality.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
My favorite book is TWEAK by Nic Sheff. It's an incredible
autobiography written by an amazing guy.
I love so many movies - all for different reasons. It is so hard to
name my top five, so here's a sample of what's on my DVD
rack....
Purple Rain, High Fidelity, Gangs of New York, Breach, Grandma's
Boy and The Boondock Saints.
I guess for a girl my taste in music is a little bit different...
My favorite band of all time is TOOL. I can't get enough. I love
Prince, Atmosphere and Led Zepplin.
I love going out to different restaurants and really don't eat the
same thing twice in the same month. The only food I hate is
seafood.
The six things I could never do without
My son.
My family.
My sense of humor.
Music.
The Sons of Anarchy.
My cell phone (obviously)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What great people I have in my life, what my son will be when he
grows up, and what I can do to make someone's day a little
brighter. I have to admit I spend a lot more time than I would like
to thinking about work.. You know how that goes.
On a typical Friday night I am
spending time with my son. We have so much fun together. We usually
hop on a flight somewhere and just bum around random cities for the
weekend. If I'm not with him I am at the local hole-in-the-wall bar
hanging out with friends.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Wouldn't you like to know? I mean, I'll tell you - just not on my
profile page.
You should message me if
You drink dark beer, you like to see live music, you like to
travel, or if you're just down to hang out and have fun. I
guarantee there will never be any awkward silences with me!
