ABOUT ME

I suppose my best friends would call my spontaneous, easy going, loyal and someone who would bail them out of jail in another state at 3 am. Oh yes, and they're in awe of my brilliance.

Interests

I spend my time:
*Reading (although I've begun to run out of good books to read and I have a short attention span...the modern world has given everyone ADD!)
*Cooking
*Checking out new restaurants and bars (I'd consider myself a foodie, as much as I hate that term)
*Traveling (duh, that's why I'm here)
*Laying in the sun
*Hiking
*Taking photographs
