Im going through a wholesome phase. Dont get me wrong, I still drink like a fish a couple times a week, but Im learning how to crochet at the same time. Yes, sometimes I even crochet at the bar. Aint that just the hottest? Actually, I really need a surrogate grandma who can show me where my technique is failing. So if you know of anyone, send them my way.
I like the fact that I can learn new things from the people I know or come to know. Recently I learned to shoot a gun, that was one of the most awesome experiences of my year. I have moved around a lot, and love that I can look back on the last 10 years of my life and feel like Ive lived several lives in between.
Im independent, but I like spending time with others. Im self motivated and active, but enjoy down-time and occasionally doing nothing at all.

trying to figure out how to do a slip stitch. Rejuvenating my inner photographer. watching too much online tv...

a whole hell of a lot of things.
im good at adapting. Im good at turning bad situations into positive ones. Im good at making out! OW OW! Im good at including people. Im good at taking photographs.
Im good at some other things too, but Ill keep this PG13...

I work in the hospitality industry and often people comment on my "charming smile" and "pretty blue eyes". But I think thats fairly common... freckles maybe.

I like them all.

I haven't had a TV for 6+years, but I still manage to watch it online. Recently I discovered Californication, and I must say thats way better than I thought it would be. Im also quite a big fan of Weeds, Bullshit, House, and Dexter. I also have a lot of guilty pleasures when it comes to TV shows. But ill keep those under wraps for now.

The most recent book I read and really liked was Water for Elephants. It was one of those books that I finished and instantly wished I could forget so I could have the pleasure of reading it again.
Carnies and circus freaks turn me on.

music, music, music... lets just say that if you're entire collection is based on radio-play or your music motto goes something like "there just isnt any good music these days", we probably won't get along. I really value music. No need to mention genres; I like it all as long as it's good.

ok, im gonna stop now...

I am going to change this category to "things I would not wish to do without", because I think "could never do without" is too dramatic. Of coarse I could do without anything, thats what makes people strong: they learn, they deal, they survive.

My dogs, new experiences, eyesight, hearing, the use of my limbs, respect, my camera...

my actions, smells, the world, bourbon, sex, my health, a new job, what other people might be thinking about...
the proper use of ellipses...

drawing sea monsters, watching a movie, chilling with a friend & a cocktail, dancing like a champ to old school hip hop, relaxing in the hot tub...

Im pretty open with people I feel are worth it. There are lots of private things you can get to know me for.

okay, you got me. I watch Grey's Anatomy and I end up crying during almost every episode. ugh!

You want someone to go to a show with. You drive an old Land Cruiser. You like dogs, change, the ocean, vodka, sweating in the sun, going for bike rides, being introduced to new things, eating good food...You arent afraid of: being in uncomfortable situations, the ghetto, people who are different from you. You appreciate your life. You dont think you have all the time in the world...
