I guess you could say that I'm not your typical girl. I believe that everyone should be given a chance to prove themselves regardless of superficial things. You never know what's out there until you grab it by the hand and take it somewhere. That goes for everything, not just dating or relationships. I feel as though I am a good person. I try my best to do the right things. I volunteer with the American Cancer Society as often as I can and donate blood. I don't like seeing people suffer. I try my best to do my part to help stop the suffering of others. I pride myself for that.

I just moved to Lathrop, CA. I'm originally from Santa Cruz and already kinda miss it. I mean that only from a weather standpoint though. It's pretty hot here. I will be attending school in Stockton starting in January. I'll be working on my transfer requirements for a Major in Chemistry (with emphasis in Biochemistry) and a Minor in Biology. I'm ambivalent about what direction I want to go once I acheive this. Either Medical Research or Forensics.

I'm also trying to get back into shape. I'm not you're typical skinny California girl. I love being active, hiking, dancing, jogging, beach walks. I want to run a marathon and learn all kinds of dance. Disc golf is a lot of fun and a GREAT workout, especially at our course. It's reputed to be one of the most difficult in the country.

I love to write. I don't get to do it as often as I like, but I do have a fair hand with words. I like to sing karaoke too. I love to cook and create. Something about being in a kitchen really pulls to me. I love to just create. I can make people laugh pretty easily. I have a very witty, comical sense of humor and I love making someone smile.

I love teaching myself stuff and am pretty good learning things. Right now I'm teaching myself the piano. I'd also like to learn the drums and different kinds of dance.

Research. I'm really good at researching things. Right now I'm planning a pretty extensive trip to Europe and have been researching the crap out of that continent. When I go, I'll know more about it than most Europeans. :) Not really, but I do love researching and planning my trip.

My big brown eyes. My lips. Almost everyone comments on my lips and how full they are. I sometimes get compared to Angelina Jolie (whom I adore). Mine, however, are all natural. ;)And my personality. It's quite prominent. I love being me and I love being out there and living.

If I had to pick a favorite book it would be 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold, I think. I love to read. Period. Anything and everything. I love Dean Koontz, Sherrilyn Kenyon, JD Robb, John Saul, Stephanie Meyer, anything mysterious, romantic, adventurous, murderous, vamperic, witty, charming, fun, deep, meaningful. Anything really.

Anything and everything Tim Burton. I cant pick a favorite movie. There are too many. I do, however, love going to the movies. I am a big movie buff. I love adventure, romance, comedy, horror is a big one (I love being scared), documentaries, anything that I can learn something from or just have a good time with it. Boondock Saints, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Superbad, 300, Thirteen Ghosts, Juno, Hard Candy. . . I can't name anywhere near all the movies I love.

I LOVE most kinds of music. Music is one of my BIGGEST PASSIONS. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have music. I wouldn't be able to function. Rock, Alternitive, Country, I like most styles. SHINEDOWN!!!, BREAKING BENJAMIN!!, Atreyu, Armor for Sleep, The Used, Flyleaf, Paramore, Straylight Run, Street Drum Corps, Panic! At The Disco, Kings of Leon, Avenged Sevenfold, Hinder, Nickleback, Bullet for my Valentine, Three Days Grace, Red, Chevelle, Saosin, Incubus, Yellowcard, Lifehouse, Godsmack, System of a Down, Korn, Mudvayne. There's really too many. I'm not even gonna try to list all the country artists I like... Lol. I'm not really picky about that. I love it live too. I'm a big concert fanatic. I've seen a lot of bands. I saw Shinedown for the first time in San Fransisco in '08 and they were amazing. And by a freak fluke, we were able to meet them and get autographs and photos. It was one of the most monumental nights of my life. Couldn't have gone more perfect. I've also seen and met Breaking Benjamin (except for Ben, he didn't come to the afterparty). They were amazing. There are way more concerts I've been able to go to aside from the ones mentioned, too. I just love music. Absolutely love it.

SUSHI!!!! I could live off of sushi and be completely happy for the rest of my life. Anything out of the ocean. Anything Italian. Sun-dried tomato bagels. Fruit snacks. Salads from Plutos. Pitas from Pita Pit. Mongolian BBQ. Any kind of BBQ. Fruit. However, I'm always a sucker for a yummy grilled cheese with tomato soup, too. Grilled cheese makes me happy. I also love to cook. I'm sure I've mentioned that some other places in here as well, but there you have it. I'll pretty much try anything put in front of me and even if I don't like something, I'll always revist it. I'm constantly looking to expand my palate.

The inner workings of the human mind and the actions that result in the use (or lack there of) of it.

It really depends. I love to go out but I love to stay in too. I like to hang out with my friends. Either a dinner in or dancing out. It doesn't matter to me. I am a very sociable person so I love being aroung my friends and family and meeting new people.

I could be reading or out at a Karaoke event. (I LOVE Karaoke) Out to the movies, or a quite dinner in. Watching the stars at the beach or dancing at a local club. I'm pretty much up for anything depending on what kind of mood I'm in. I'm fun and spunky and adore spontaneity immensely.

I'm afraid of spiders. I like the feel of the tattoo machine even if I hate needles (I have three so far and want a few more). I have three piercings (only want one or two more). I'm not reed thin but not grotesquely huge either (I may be working on getting my ideal body back but I don't have it yet, if you don't like that, I'm sorry. I'm an awesome person and a great friend and don't have to be anorexic to prove it to you). I actually care about what happens to people.

You're curious. You feel you can challenge me. You know that a day is not better spent unless you're laying naked in bed with awesome pillow talk and TV-on-DVD. :) You care about others just as much as you care about yourself. You can provide meaningful conversation just as much as random, pointless conversation. You know what the word eloquent means AND are an avid demonstrater of the term.

On a side note, you should NOT message me if you are not genuine. I get so weary of aligning myself with people who are one person in the beginning and, once you get to know them, change into something unexpected. I completely appreciate honesty. I'm not fragile, I can handle whatever truth there is as long as it's genuine and honest.
