ABOUT ME

I love to dine outdoors. I drive with the windows down, the music cranked and my dog hanging out the window. I try to look for the fun in everything I do. I let my dog and cat on the bed. I drink too much coffee and hot chocolate. I love to hang out with my friends. I'll watch quirky movies with you until dawn. I'm outspoken, ornery and maybe the smartest ass you've ever met. I can do cartwheels and kung-fu and I don't think about my knees when I jump - not until I'm halfway to the ground, anyway. I know what it feels like to fall out of a kayak, to climb boulders and to dive after a kickball. I've eaten a termite, jumped out of a moving car to save a kitten flattened out in traffic on 280, and busted my ass ice skating. I've streaked around an apartment building on a dare - in freezing weather! Sometimes I rant when it won't do a d*mn bit of good. But mostly I just want to play.
