My nickname to some is monkey. It fits? i like to play pranks, climb things, mangos, want to live in palm trees/ rain forest on edge of an ocean, my sense of humor is low brow, and currently i'm a scut monkey. In actuality i love sports, running as fast as i can & those who make me do so even if its cuz they've ticked me off. Lately i'm thinking i shoulda been a travel agent or florist cuz i wanted to change lives but realized am only reinventing the tooth fairy. Have noticed i was more adventurous enjoying black diamond skiing and skydiving, but now since my brain cost 200k not sure i can afford bouncing it. Also noticed med school has ironically worsened my self-confidence & independent thinking (or maybe aging did it) but i still toe the line when needed. Shy around people i dont know and those who know me wish i were more so. Not an easy person to get to know- like Shrek, an onion but definitely not a cake- however am fascinated by knowing people/ figuring em out. Someday i plan to write a biography not cuz it would be so interesting but cuz few would believe this crazy story is mine. Being the 4th /5 daughters i learned that 1) if you sit in the background u won't be noticed and can learn the good stuff 2) maybe i shoulda been a boy but usually am glad i'm not 3) super gluing quarters to the sidewalk and watching passerbys can provide lots of laughs. Am known to laugh much, embarrassingly uncontrollably, and frequently at myself. Am very independent and this bewilders many especially my mom and sometimes my man. i DON'T like being treated unequally, being patronized, television news, being told i can't do something, or any illusion of being held down. i like people who believe that righteous action changes lives but whom aren't self-righteous, random adventures, laughing till tears, tousling in a wave, ocean sunsets, the long dusk fade in summer, howler monkey sounds in a dark rainforest, flowers especially orchids, and heartfelt words. Ok enough already.

Interesting people, people who make me laugh, people who make me laugh at myself, people who want to change the world but don't take themselves too too seriously, Nelson Mandella, Mike Myers, anyone who thinks that our paths may have some lessons to fulfill. Oh yeah, and anyone who knows how to make an accent over a letter in this program, as in an accent over the letter e. It keeps taking off the accent when i import it from a word doc, and making a different word out of what i am trying to say.
