above is my new email address. I am currently finishing up a 7 month deployment here in Kosovo,where I've pushed my body to its limits, and done things I never thought I'd do in my entire life. Imagine rucking about 70pounds on your back up and down hills for 7miles at a slow jog, and having to meet a time standard, along with jumping out of helicopters, and running two miles in twelve minutes. After here it's back to Germany where my current home station is, I like it there. I really miss samohi and have 2yrs left I will be 22 and a vet when I finish my enlistment in the army. I am in the process of finishing a Video game adventure saga and have plans to have it done by the time I'm out of the Army. From there I plan to have it released and developed for either Playstation2, Dreamcast,x-box, gamecube, or Pc users. This will be the stepping stone for the software developement company I plan to own by the time I'm in my late 20's. So I can't rest until I get it all. This is only the beginning. Special shouts out to Mrs Jones, Mrs Kemp, Mr Hecht, and Sylvia Russo, the vikes Inn staff, keep it going baby, Coach Humphrey's sorry if I spelled it wrong, Jason Joulivette (Ims 4eva), John Handol, Don Cannon, Montreal Scott, John Tippins, Minoo (1love), Kevin Cooper, Eli Lounds, Wallace Smith, Schanel and the twinz, Zoila Garcia c/0 2k1, Kendra and Trafina c/0 2k2, anybody I missed-"You know I'm witchya/I got the pictures".

I guess I've always known about this page, but never actually employed it to advertise my life thus far. Well, to begin with, I graduated from UCLA with a BA in English and a Concentration in Creative Writing (Short Fiction) where David Wong Louie changed my life. I worked most of that time in the Film Business as a PA and then a Production Coordinator. I also made some great connections in the Bollywood industry. Those connections are great friends today. I spent 7 years of my life caring for one of my best friends: an elderly lady who lost her sight to MD. She recently passed at 93. She lived well; and her departure, though sad, was a celebration defining life. I've worked as a script adviser and have also done some odd jobs here and there for some select people not worth mention. I did, however, meet the DUDE. He is THE BIG LEBOWSKI for those of you familiar with that film and its back story. I worked with the "Dude" for a while; he's a helluva guy and a fantastic frien! d. Currently, I'm living in Walnut Creek (Northern Cal) and attending Saint Mary's College where I'm earning my MFA in Poetry. It's exciting to share a workshop with Brenda Hillman; her poetics rank high on my list of literary masters. She's married to Robert Hass (former US Poet Laureate), which offers its advantages. My plan is a Ph.D in English Lit, something I've put off for a long time. I don't know whether I will embark upon that journey, but I do know that Romanticism gradually growing into Modernism is my Turkish Delight. I suppose time will tell what dreams may come--though some dreams exist in the grip of my hand and never in the realm of my mind. When I begin to believe in that, I'll start to move ahead in life--or so I hope. I see some of you have married! That must be the journey of journeys. I wish you all find the greatest road to life--one fitting your desires and ambitions. I'm single and not looking. Not yet at least. I miss all of you whom I have known and those of you I knew of...I cannot say anymore without sounding immodest, so I leave this tedious rendition of "Where are they now?" with a heartfelt "cheers!" and a "Please keep in touch and drop me a line" finish. And I really mean those last couple of lines. Take care y'all

I am happily married to my "Prince Charming" for 3 years. We have a beautiful daughter who is 2 years of age and our recent addition is our handsome son, who was born 1 day after my 27th birthday. Yes, I was in labor on my birthday. If that isn't shocking, so was my 'lil sister Falisha Turner C/O 2000, who delivered her baby on my birthday. "Not Intentional." I am a supervisor for an Agent of Farmers Insurance and My husband and mother in law just opened their very own Home Health Care Agency in Thousand Oaks, CA where I also work. Before deciding to be a wife, mother and working women, I was a teacher for 2 years at a Montessori School. I also did some modeling. People still approach me about going on "ANTM"... It is still a dream of mine to do so, but for now I enjoy my days with my family. It does feel great though to be a size 3 after two children w/out any dieting :)> "GENETICS"... Well see you all soon in th 08 at "REUNION"...
