    1. The ocean. It's where I go when I need to regain my strength and sanity. I do some of my best thinking with my feet in the water. I love everything about it, the smell, the chill of the water and the sound of the waves crashing- especially at night.

    2. Shopping. Because it's the next best thing when I'm not near the ocean.

    3. Handbags. The sight of anything Coach, Juicy or Kate Spade makes my heart race.(And by the way, before you boys start rolling your eyes and calling me a gold digger, I'll have you know I spend MY OWN money, thank you very much!)


    4. Beauty products; particularly make-up, which I can't seem to get enough of. The Sephora catalog is my idea of porn.

    5. Perfume. I'm obsessed with collecting perfume- it's one of the many vices I picked up from my grandma, lol. Which is a good thing for my bf, since he doesn't have to be too creative when buying me presents <3

    6. Cold, foggy San Francisco nights.

    7. Getting my nails done. This is one of my favorite things to do, it's my "me-time" I guess. If two weeks go by and I haven't been to the nail shop I feel like something is off.


    8. Laughing my ass off. I'm always laughing at something, even if i'm by myself. It's how I maintain my sanity I guess. It's also how I maintain my popularity, since i'm kinda known for being a rather entertaining person =)


    9. Music. I always have music playing, no matter where I am or what i'm doing.

    10. Concerts. I LOVE going to shows, even if it's music i'm not usually into. So far i've seen: Gloria Estefan, Christian Castro, Mana (twice!), Enrique Iglesias, Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, Britney Spears, Incubus, Mariah Carey (twice!), Goo Goo Golls, Dredge, Bjork and a few others I think I forgot. Pretty eccletic mix, yes

    11. Alcoholic beverages, although i'm trying to keep that under control. I'm kind of a retard when i'm drunk, see...

    12. Working hard to get what I want. My path has NOT been an easy one, but i'll be damned if i'm gonna let anything keep me from achieving my goals.

    13. Writing. It's my passion, my love and how I express myself.


    14. Dancing, particularly of the Latin variety.


    15. Big Red gum. I hate the taste, but it was my dads favorite, so I always keep a pack in my car. The smell reminds me of riding around in his Toyota pick-up when I was little <3


    16. QVC. I've never bought anything from them, but putting it on late at night helps me sleep like a baby. Go figure.

A few vital facts about me:

Photobucket


I just run my own beauty website, http://beautychaotic.com and it's doing well so far! This site is my baby, and my goal is to turn it into a pop culture sensation! Make reading this a part of your daily routine please!


I was named after Jackie Kennedy because my parents loved how classy she was.


I'm a dreamer, and more ambitious than most people. I've just always felt I was meant to do great things, and i'm not gonna stop until I get there.


I have the coolest job of anyone I know. As soon as people find out where I work, they forget what a huge dork I am, and I suddenly become the most interesting person in the room.


I party hard...in an orderly fashion! Meaning I've been known to drop it like its hot when necessary, but work and life always come first.


I've always been a little weird, but then again most creative people are. The way I see it, being known for my craziness is a small price to pay for being a fabulous writer.


I'm obsessed with the news. I watch The Today Show every morning while I'm getting ready for work, and the 11 o'clock news every night before bed. If my news schedule gets disrupted, I feel like somethings off.


I idolize news people as if they were A-list celebrities. I love Matt Laur, Chris Hanson, Jorge Ramos, Dan Rather; seriously don't even get me started.


Though it can sometimes be a miserable existence, I secretly miss the excitement of being a reporter. Everytime I hear a siren my heart rate goes up, and I get the overwhelming urge to grab a notebook and run to the scene of the crime and find out what happened.

I'm working on two novels, and both will be #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list someday. Seriously, it's one of my main goals in life. Told ya I like to dream big!


I'm a total girly girl. I love anything pink and sparkly, and my desk at work is adorned with a collection of tiara's and shiny things. And like most girly girls, I'm completely obsessed with Hello Kitty.




I'm really friendly, and try to be cool with everyone. You've gotta work really hard for me not to like you.


Mariah Carey is my favorite singer of all time, and I freakin' LOVE Britney Spears and don't care what anyone else has to say about it.


I love tattoos and piercings. Many find that shocking, but believe me, I still manage to do even that in a girly fashion. I have 9 tats so far and I'm working on a few more.


My heart belongs to Paul Rudd. I don't know why, I've just always loved him.


I'm known for my sense of humor, and am a total smartass. Luckily most find it endearing :o)

As a teenager, I once outran the cops by falling down a hill. It's a hilarious story, so feel free to ask me about it sometime.


Clowns scare the bejeezus outta me.


I'm a sucker for cute boys; especially the tall ones.


I'm really bubbly and try to keep a sunny outlook on life, despite the fact that I've seen more pain in my 29 years than most see in a lifetime. I guess I just refuse to let those things take my spirit.


Though he died a short 7 years ago, I am and always will be daddy's little girl.


Frank Sinatra is my hero, and this song pretty much sums up how I feel about this crazy life of mine:

That's Life


That's life, that's what all the people say You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June


I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around


I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself, flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race


That's life, I tell you I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly


I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race


That's life, that's life and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

Who I'd like to meet:



Mariah Carey. Paul Rudd. Johnny Depp. Patrick Dempsy. Mark Wahlburg(I LOVE him in The Departed). George Lopez. JK Rowling. Candace Bushnell. Jennifer Aniston. Shakira. Gloria Estefan. Salma Hayek. Sofia Vergara. Molly Ringwold. Lewis Black. Jon Stewart. Steven Colbert. Paula Deen (How cute is she!?). Silvia Brown. Katie Couric. Matt Laur. Jorge Ramos (Best newsguy ever!). Dan Rather (He STILL rules!). And I wish I could have met: Grandma and Grandpa Backman. Peter Jennings. Selena. Celia Cruz. Soraya. Walter Matthau. Marylin Monroe. JFK. Jackie Kennedy (Duh!). Nat King Cole. Frank Sinatra. Bing Crosby. Anna Nicole Smith (It sucks I had to move her to this side of the list so soon!)
