I was born in Poland and moved to California when I was three. I've always lived in the Bay Area, but really love SoCal and the East Coast (although, despite my earlier aspirations, I don't think I could live there). I like sports - the Sharks are my current obsession (and I turn into the biggest sports nerd during the Olympics!), music, photography, reading, and traveling. I love doing stuff outdoors, especially when it's sunny - but I am just as happy relaxing at home, watching a good movie or playing guitar. :-)

One of my biggest passions is music - playing, listening, searching for new bands - the whole 9 yards! My taste in music is totally random - I love everything from rap to pop to country to alternative and rock. As long as I can sing to it, it’s on my iPod!

I work at a financial consulting company, which has turned into a very *interesting* job in the last few months. But, on the weekends, I try to make up for the hectic 9-5 by going out with friends, running around the city, checking out concerts, going for a walk on the beach (even when its freezing cold!), hanging out at a bar or club, or do a low-key movie or ice skating night -- honestly, I'm usually down for anything...

hmmmm.... professionally, as I mentioned, I work at a financial consulting company. Personally, I am working on my acoustic guitar skills, hanging out with family and friends, and... well... seeing what life is all about!

Making people laugh! ...or so I've been told. Also... planning events! haha... that's actually the first thing that popped into mind. Whenever there's a big occasion, no matter which of my friends initiates an idea, I always end up taking the reigns (not necessarily by choice either) to make sure everything gets planned out, yelping/googling options, and making sure no one is left out. I guess I like having a good time, and making sure my friends have a good time too... even if it causes me a little bit of stress.

my blue eyes...? ....you tell me! ;-)

Books: I switch between novels (girlie-girl books, dramas, etc, etc), mysteries (John Grisham, etc), action, and "learnin'"-type books (I totally dig body language books! haha). After reading the Twilight saga, I read The Time Traveler's Wife and I CAN'T WAIT to see what Holllywood does with the BEST book I've read so far.

Movies: Comedy, Romantic Comedy, Action - pretty much anything EXCEPT horror films (I'm a little girl and get nightmares, what can I say? haha). Some of my favorites are: Memento, The Hangover, Office Space, Zoolander...

Music: (gotta consult the iTunes library): Alicia Keys, All-American Rejects, Bon Jovi, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera, Colbie Caillat, Daughtry, David Cook, Eoin Harrington, Fort Minor, The Fray, Gavin DeGraw, Jack Johnson, James Morrison, John Mayer, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Kate Nash, Kelly Clarkson, KT Tunstall, Lily Allen, Linkin Park, Marc Broussard, Mariah, Marie Digby, Maroon 5, Matchbox 20, Paddy Casey, Paolo Nutini, Pink, Rihanna, Sara Bareilles, Taylor Swift, Toby Lightman, Tyler Hilton, Vampire Weekend...

Food: mmmm... Mexican, Mediterranean, regular 'ol American... this is making me hungry...

Well... the three things I never leave home without are my phone, camera, and iPod. They keep me busy when I'm bored, entertain me when I need, and help me capture the moments in between (I'm usually the designated photographer).

If I had to make a list of things I couldn't live without...

1. friends/family
2. phone
3. iPod
4. camera
5. the internet (what did I do before Google, seriously?)
6. SLEEP!

what I'm ganna do next....!

...usually out with friends. Or, if I am feeling anti-social, at home with my guitar, a good book, or a good movie.

hmmmm....

...you want! :-)
