Born in Utah. Spent my formative years in Idaho. Moved to Santa Barbara for school two weeks after high school and haven’t spent more than two weeks at a time in Idaho since. I left Santa Barbara in 2005 so that I didn’t end up a 35-year-old waitress who was still drinking heavily 6 nights a week and living in someone’s spare room. I got a job in Palo Alto and met my boyfriend shortly afterwards. I spent some time living in San Francisco and seeing a fair amount of naked people every day. After nearly three lovely years in the Bay Area I moved to Orange County when my Wes, my boyfriend, got transferred.
I do not like it here but I’m doing my best to tolerate. I got a job doing some very boring things with some very boring people. It’s dreary compared to my last company – I guess Silicon Valley has ruined me for all other jobs.
I like to read and write. When the weather is nice I’m a runner. I love to swim and the way I look when I’ve been doing it for a while. I’m going to run ran a half marathon in October 2008 and I hope my time is better than the last one I ran when I was fourteen in 2:30:47. Not bad for not having trained for it. I just bought a delicious new road bike and I’m looking forward to riding it and getting faster and faster. Combined with running and swimming I may even attempt a triathlon one of these days. As long as it’s not in the ocean.
Hopefull the next move takes us to the Northwest where it’s not so bloody hot all the time. But who knows, after almost a decade here maybe I’ve turned into a Californian.
