Born 10/14/1967, in San Francisco. Moved to Oakland in 1969. Moved to San Jose in 1981. Moved back to Oakland in 1982. Moved to Santa Cruz same year. Moved back to Oakland in 1983. Moved back to Santa Cruz 1984; back to Oakland same year. Santa Cruz in 85, then back to Oakland. Been here ever since.
Blonde hair, blue eyes. Booty. Big legs. Scars on a fat tummy. Nice nails, pretty feet a few months out the year. Silver jewelry, some gold. Hair long, one length, mostly. Three holes in each ear. Top to bottom: diamond stud, zircona stud, silver or gold hoops. Clothes are mostly black, light blue or denim. Loose tops, long lean pants. Long skirts. Boots or open-toed sandals.
2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. Not very neat. No cable. One TV. Boombox until I get a real stereo. Hand-me-down, very slow PC. No printer or speakers. Just got a VCR from a friend because the one I'd bought six years ago just broke. 1993 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL, bought used in 1996. It's fallen apart to the point where I only drive it to my son's school, the grocery store or the wash house, and the occasional doctor's appointment. Microwave, electric stove, no dishwasher. Flea market & hand-me-down furnishings; nothing matches. No couch. Many books, a modest CD collection, some nice knick-knacks. Sixty different colors of nail polish, eight pairs of shoes that I actually wear, one leather coat that I can't zip up. Dozens of candles, two menorahs, six incense holders, one twelve-year-old wooden weed box. Somewhere between two and three hundred Dalmatian toys, figurines, pictures, desk supplies and collectible plates.
