I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Hi. I'm a transplant from the east coast who took a while to feel at home here in Seattle (even though I love it here.) I've been here for over 3 years now. I moved here for graduate school. I'm enjoying it so far but have not had a chance to explore as many wonders of the city and the NW as I would like. So I'm looking for buddies to do that with. I'm a laidback, fun-loving person. I enjoy live performances (music, poetry & spoken word, cabaret/burlesque), movies, art, theater, traveling, nature, and hanging out with friends among other things. I like to go out dancing or to a movie as well as having a comfortable evening in.
I'm always looking for new friends to hang out with and people who can further introduce me to the area. I would like to meet people who are easy to talk to and hang out with. If you'd like to know more about me, drop me a line.

My Interests

I most enjoy spending time with my friends whether it's a casual meal, a night out dancing, a night in watching movies, an afternoon spent outdoors, or touring a museum. I love the beach. Music, movies, reading and cooking are also great ways to pass the time. I'm looking to add new positive experiences all the time.

I'd like to meet:



Some cool new people with liberal politics who can make me laugh. People who think outside the box. Someone who can make anything fun.

I think I know what day that was. If I'm right, it's funny how things come full circle. Consider it discontinued. I've said what I need to say too.
