CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of Happiness!

ABOUT ME

My name is Tiffany. I'm 25 years old and I like to do what most 25 year olds like to do... I love music/concerts/festivals and I have a new-found love of HIKING! There are so many great hikes on O'ahu!

I like to travel, even though I haven't done very much of it... I've been through 31 of the United States so far, as well as England, Ireland, Scotland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Wales, Japan and Canada.

I studied martial arts (Tae Kwon Do and Jiu Jitsu) for quite some time (over half my life). I enjoy theater and quality stand up comedy. I love to write (poetry, plays and short stories -- yeah, i'm "one of those") I would love to write children's books.

I am an Aunt to a beautiful little girl, Samantha, and a handsome (yet hellish) little boy, Matthew. They are my heart and soul.

I love the Beatles and Damien Rice. I think that most bands with a piano/keys lead are wonderful. I could watch Forrest Gump every day and never grow tired of it.

I have been called a hippy, tree-hugger, and the much nicer term, "free spirit" since I was a child. I thoroughly believe in the pursuit of happiness.

I am married to a wonderful man.

I am a huge John Lennon fan, but I also love The Beatles as a whole. I used to want to be just like Janis Joplin, however, I've concluded that overdosing at 27 is not exactly glamourous...

I'm a complete ARIES, as I fit every characteristic. I love children. I have over 40,000 photos on my computer, so i'm quite the 'picture person'...

I am an insomniac. I am deathly afraid of worms. I don't like weapons, either... Arms are for hugging :-D
