ok, ozzybear is actually the name of one of my dogs, but sometimes i wish i could live vicariously through him. i'm actually a 29 year-old human that lives near downtown l.a. with my fiance and our two dogs, ozzy and dante.

mr. ozzybear and i met in the spring of 2000, through an internship in undergrad. at the time, i was dating someone else, but mr. ozzybear and i became good friends and kept in touch after college and even when i moved out of state for grad school. i returned to cali in the summer of 2003, but we didn't start dating officially until april 2004. we moved in together a year after that.

i feel like he and i have a good mix of similarities and differences that seem to balance us nicely. he loves all things sports, adrenaline-fueled activities, and is up for any challenge, yet is very laid back when it comes to getting everyday stuff done. i tend to be overly cautious about anything that could potentially cause me any sort of physical harm and i break out in a rash just thinking about going for i hike, but at home and work i'm your typical a-type personality. he's much more outgoing than i am, howeve we are both the type of people you usually find sitting in a quiet group in the corner at a large party. we both love all kinds of music (except country, sorry!) and we love to cook and of course, eat!
