I'm a small town girl trying to make it in the big city. I'm working my way up to being a destitute, alcoholic glutten.

*update* I am now a mother. Yikes!

Traveling: in the last few years, I've been to Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Kenya and Tanzania, the UK, Argentina and Chile. I've done a lot of hiking in these places including: Corcovado (CR), the Inca Trail (Peru), Mount Kilimanjaro, Scottish Highlands, and Patagonia (Torres del Paine and Fitz Roy). I also enjoy travel in the US, especially to NYC and various National Parks. Check out my webpage at www.geocities.com/k8sharpy/main

Other stuff about me: I must be a good listener because people are always waxing philosophic at me. I can't spell. I like cheese. A lot. I am a science geek. I love to drive. I have a short attention span. Lately I've become obsessed with the Sierra Nevada high country.

You want to get on my bad side? Try giving me unsolicited
advice. Oh, and be dull, but talk constantly.

Anyone, I guess. If I don't like you, I just won't return
your phone calls.
