Checking out online dating sites just for shits and giggles. Hate the douchy "let me take a picture of my chest in the bathroom mirror with my cell phone" pictures, so please don't respond unless you literally look like you were sent from the heavens and your personality is even better. Sorry, had to say that first. Anyway, I'm Italian, I love to laugh (I work with kids every day and am not afraid to be silly), I'm very honest, I speak what's on my mind, I'm very independent, and I love to enjoy everything that LA has to offer, whether it's a new food truck, dive bar happy hour, live band, scenic drive or... anything, really. Life is about enjoying the good things, like sunshine, a gritty cappuccino and an amazing whiskey.

Working as much as I can to pay the bills and then some until I finally step into my dream job in this cut throat city. Some day it WILL happen. But I also spend about 40% of my life laughing and 20% of it yelling at people in LA that drive like retards.

puns. I'm ridiculous with puns and cheesy jokes. I'm also very good at drinking wine at home after working all day. It's a true talent. :) I can type 90 wpm, make a mean batch of meatballs and parallel park like nobody's biz.

Any book by David Sedaris I love. Very blunt humor and sarcasm makes me happy. I never really have the time and patience to sit down with a novel, so I'm guilty of not reading much. I hate saying that, though.

I work in TV, so I'm actually not a huge fan of TV, but when I do watch it, I always turn on Seinfeld reruns or Intervention, Hoarders, stuff that really makes me feel like I'm somewhat normal :)

I LOVE music and will almost listen to anything aside from country. I am a big, big fan of seeing any live music in town and will always go if I'm not working and the opportunity pops up. I am guilty of being a total 80s rock chick and am somewhat obsessed with AC/DC, Van Halen, old Aerosmith, Steely Dan, etc. However, I also listen to a lot of new indie stuff, old hip hop... anything, really. Led Zeppelin, Tortoise, Tribe Called Quest, LCD Soundsystem, George Michael, Police, Hall and Oates, Lionel Richie, Ice Cube, anything. I just despise a lot of top 40 mindless crap. Don't even get me started on Taylor Swift or bad new rock. You shouldn't be allowed to put out a record just because your daddy is friends with the CEO of a record company or you blew someone important. I guess I just like good music.

I love food. I don't like eating animals that I really don't feel should be eaten (or worn for that matter), like alligator or snake, but I won't hate on anybody that does choose to eat it. It's your gut, not mine. Otherwise, I love trying new food, even if it comes from a truck. That's what LA's about, right??

my favorite pair of boots
umm... a shower. It may sound high maintenance, but I get grossed out going even a day without showering.

the next tattoo I'm going to get. I don't have many, but I'm always thinking of the next.

actually probably working from home and having a glass of wine or a beer. I used to party hard but have found I'm kinda too old and I'm over it. I can't stand the weekend hangover all the time. I'd much prefer to go out for just a couple beers at a bar in town and not rage like crazy lately, but that's just me. I also used to bartend and manage bars, so maybe that adds to it.

then it wouldn't be private, would it?

you're not an LA dude that constantly wears Ed Hardy t-shirts and goes to the club on the weekends to bang someone and never call them again. That was fun for about the first 5 minutes I lived in LA in 2006. And by fun I mean, where's my shotgun? Oh, and contrary to popular belief, us chicks don't like to watch you play video games for 3 hours or you may be on this site for years. ;) Don't message me if I have to learn World of Warcraft or whatever the hell that game is called or I'll drag you to an excruciating manicure and brazilian wax.
