I am not very good at summarizing myself. I'm 5'9", 28 yrs old, a Libra. LOL! How is that for a self description?

I have a sarcastic sense of humor. Love a quick wit.
(My friends have introduced me to Eddie Izzard... so great)

I am Irish. But not from Ireland (grandparents and great grandparents came over on the boat. =D) I do know how to say a few words in Gaelic. (while murdering the language I am sure). I have been to Ireland and am hoping to some day go back for a much longer stay someday!

I just joined this site and will probably figure out more to write in this section some other day.

Basically I am looking to make new friends and possibly see where that goes.

I am preparing to leave for London. I'll be working in London for 3 weeks!! Very excited! (2nd time there but first time spending more than a week exploring the city. and it will be fun seeing the city through the eyes of kids).
I'm working as a nanny. Love it. Staying connected with friends. Hoping for a lot more rain for CA. Trying to get more organized (spring cleaning fever early). Hoping to start learning how to cook. Reading. Enjoying the positives in life. Trying to get thru the negatives and find the positives in them.
and really trying to figure out this website. It's fairly overwhelming.

Being a kid from time to time. It's a good skill to have for my job and who doesn't enjoy splashing in a puddle once in awhile.

I'm tall and I'm skinny. Not actually sure which one people notice first. But those two are the ones I usually hear first. I have also had people notice that my eyes change colors depending on what color I am wearing. (if it's blue, green, grey, purple).

Love books by Dan Brown (whatever happened to that guy). A good bit of suspense and mystery help keep me interested and turning pages. I also love books on tape!! They really help me get thru my horrible commute. (Sherlock Holmes' mysteries, the "Classics" etc).

Comedy/Romantic comedy movies and Adventure. (I enjoy movies I can quote) Mel Brooks movies, The Indiana Jones Trilogy. Just saw Leatherheads...highly enjoyable.

Music... really that is all over the charts. It is rare if I actually know the name of the artist or the title of the song. If I hear it and like it I'll search it out. (my friend just guided me thru iTunes. How did I miss out on the genius that is iTunes for so long?)

Food... total Irish girl, I love my steak and potatoes. I prefer a nice simple meal at home to a 5 star restaurant. (but do enjoy an evening out at a quiet hole in the wall from time to time.) I don't consider myself a "foody". I know what I like, but am always willing to try something new. Except spicy foods. I have had my lips burned off enough for one lifetime!

1. Family and friends (they are one and the same)
2. Fun
3. The holidays (all of them)
4. Something to look forward to every week/month
5. Technology
6. Dessert foods

The future. Well actually that's probably more wondering/curious about it. If I could prepare a meal by just pushing buttons like the Jetsons how great would that be!?!

Either working or at home relaxing after a long week of work. My preferred Friday night activity is having a good dinner and then relaxing in front of a good movie or talking and laughing with friends.

I am not as confident as I would like to be.

You're interested in making a new friend and seeing how that develops.
