"Anyone who get to know me for longer than about three minutes knows that I am always game for a good party. Pool party cookout? Let’s do it. Bonfire at the beach? Yes, please. Crash a bachelorette party and dance in a club while wearing their tiaras? Duh. I love mixing it up with friends and strangers in combined effort to embarrass ourselves and/or just have some good bonding time while escaping the routine of the week. “You don’t stop playing because you get old. You get old because you stop playing.” I live by this motto. True, it might not have worked out for Lindsey Lohan so well, but I’ll take my chances. If you get to know me a little longer, you’ll also quickly learn that I am somewhat of a thrill seeker. I’d rather jump first and consider the consequences later. I’ve raced cars and bikes, love hang gliding, and have never once gotten queasy on a roller coaster. Hey, I never claimed to be intelligent.
