I'd like to meet other people who share my interests and experiences or anyone who is just a cool person.  I don't have too many friends.  I've become kinda shy since my accident.  I graduated from USC in 1995, on the Deans' List, with a double major in Business Administration and Biological Sciences.  Two months after graduating I danced on the 8th floor ledge of The Beverly Center Shopping Mall and kinda fell off.  I left a dent in the sidewalk.  I guess I've always made quite an "impact" on things in my life.  My mom used to say, "blend in and enjoy life..." I don't think she meant blend into the sidewalk!  I used to drink.  I should've tried the "12 Step Program" to quit instead of the "1 Step Program!"  Learning to laugh at yourself is a wonderful thing!  Also I look at the very positive things going for me now in my life!  I can park almost anywhere I want to!  I get the primo seats at concerts!  I never have to do cardio again!!!!  My grandmother can beat me in a foot race.  I know that when we go out together she feels less selfconscious about using a walker - and that makes me feel good.  More about me... I love playing Backgammon online.  I have two beautiful doggies.  I listen to most types of music, especially loud bands.  I also enjoy watching television and seeing movies.  Take care.  Thew.
