About Me:
i'm a nature loving, vegetarian, environmentalist, democrat who loves line dancing, country music and i had a pretty good time at the shooting range (no animals were involved).
im anal retentive but i'm always looking for my next great adventure, crazy thing to do, or spur of the moment trip.
i am now in love with gator football (especially gator kickers), but i never went to a single game while i was in college.
i think sleep is a waste of time, but lying in bed on a sunday watching cheesy 80's flicks on tbs makes my weekend.
i've never voted for the winner in a major polical race.. but i still campaign at all of them.
i always have to walk on the right (does that make me obsessive compulsive?)
i love tv (but don't like going to movies)
i have incredible parking luck (why can't i have lottery luck?)
i'm obsessed with dogs (but i think cats are the root of all evil)
and i hate writing things about myself... but i wrote this anyway (i'm having a boring day at work)

"Pleased to meet you, Rah-faye-eh-lah"
"No, it's Reh-faye-lah"
"Ray-fay..."
"No, it's Reh-faye-lah"
This was how me and Rafaela met, not too long ago, and after I got over completely bungling her name, I found a kindred spirit (and tapeworm) in this girl! Run up Masada? Sure! (she succeeded, while I started hyperventilating and quit after 30 seconds). Have a third helping of hummus? Sounds good! IM for hours and hours on end while we should be "working?" Couldn't live without it. Rock a tube top on Girls Night Out? We're there!
Rafaela, in CA parlance, just flat-out rocks. She is the voice of reason and insanity, understands why the world needs more animal-loving, bleeding heart liberals, is always there for me, no matter what, and laughs with, not at me, when I go off on my crazy stream-of-conciousness rants. Babe, you're the best, don't ever change, Georgie loves you lots and will always be here when you want a
you can't describe but don't wish to
offend... "interesting". Not interesting
like your friend's first attempt at
cooking. Raf is almost always
interesting in a good way... a great
way... but always unique! :-P She and I
met during rough times as neighbors at
UF. (shout out to all the Gator's in the
house) My favorite experiences with her
were usually initiated out of necessity
due restrictions of Shabbot. We have
trekked many miles uphill both ways in
the blazing Florida blizzards without
shoes for a slice of pizza. I've suffered
the incessant droning of her answering
machine beep which she could not put
an end to. I have soiled her mother's
home with a now-buried fork and Goy
food. Barring the latter, I would do it all
again. Raf, you're the shiznit.
testimonial soon. She's that friend who
requires you to answer the phone even if
you're in the bathroom but will always be
there when you need her. She's the girl
who never saw a Gator game until after
she graduated from UF. She never seems
to sleep and yet always appears rested. If
you need an advocate when times are
tough, she's there. She plans to save the
world, one less animal slaughtered at a
time. She lovable and her quirks are
adorable - if at times annoying. She's as
loyal as they come despite 1000s of miles.
She's the first to call on my birthday - even
if a day off :). Got Raffy?
tired, won't eat any rice, all people understand
raffy, practically loves every dog, raffy exudes
something special!
This girl truly rocks!!!!! Just ask her harem.... :)
complain about her Cingular service.
Other than that, she's a great friend. I know that
all I have to do is call out her name (Raffy!) and
she'll come running (driving/flying) to see me
again!
I'll tell people over and over again how cool she
is. I'll even write it on napkins with crayons if I
have to!
If there's anyone I'd want to sit with in my
hallway, laughing hysterically, while trying to
figure out how to use a house key - it's Raf! She's
the only person I know who can drink beer out of
a wine glass and make it look cool!
I've said it before and I'll say it every single time -
Raffy rocks!!!!
Love ya! =)
gives me hope that there are still
decent, kind, and wonderful people
still in the world. I have no doubt
that she will one day change the
world, and I learn somthing new
everyday just knowing her! Now, if I
could only get her to move to
California!
least last time I checked she still was
a vegetarian. In any case she's great.
We go way back.
know! (Not as cool as Sandy or
Kuggles, though!) :)
