how old are you and where are you from?
i'm 23 (april 29 is mah bday). i'm the definition of a taurus. i was born in a icky, ugly town in california then moved to the beach when i was 7. been here ever since.

did you go to college?
kind of? i have 2 aa's but no ba. and i can't transfer till the end of 2013. and that's if the world doesn't end this year, sheesh! i'm going to school for psychology.

what do you want to do when you are all growed up?
this has been my train of thought since the first day of college: psychologist>>nurse>>doctor>>zoologist (for a month)>>physician's assistant>>nurse>>psychologist>>business owner.

i'm dead set on business owner. i plan to open a boutique once i finish this damn degree.

are you dating anyone?
not seriously (as of may 2012). i'm one of those people that is always dating someone. but there is no one super particular just yet.

tatts or piercings?
i have my ears pierced and i just got my first tattoo. i blame a person for that who may or may not be mentioned in this blog. i love it though. it's here.

what do you do outside of blogging?
i had many jobs. right now i'm a server at a restaurant and a manager at a boutique. i love both. besides work, i just finished school, i love beer, i love food, and i love being with my friends.

what do you write about?
this started mainly as a dating blog. it's expanded to more of an everything blog. i basically have made it a scrapbook of my life.

why are you so honest?
i never actually realized how open i was about my life until i started getting emails about it. and being thanked for being different. i love reading blogs that strictly write about the "good stuff" but it's the "crappy stuff" that we can all relate to regardless of who we are or where were from. honesty is just me. in every aspect of my life. i don't hold back. life is too short.

why did you join dating sites?
a year ago (2011) samantha told me about her plenty of fish experiences. i went with her one night to meet a guy that she had met on there. it was awkward but funny (especially funny because we both happened to wear leopard print tops that night). the guy seemed nice, she wasn't interested. i had been dating a couple guys off and on before i joined and i was getting sick of going to the same bars and running into the same people so, wahlah! i joined. 

i met big, and although it wasn't the best relationship i learned a lot and it was nice to meet someone i wouldn't have necessarily met elsewhere. so now here i am, still on that site, still not giving it up even though i've yet to meet someone i was genuinely pleased by. it's fun. it's distracting. and why the hell not?

why are there so many guys on the list?
i recently made my list a little more organized. not all the guys on that list are guys i'm dating. some are just guys that are strictly friends.

do you do blog design?
yes. email me if you would like to ask about prices and what my sweet skills are.
