Friendly, fun, passionate, smart, witty, driven, slightly pedantic; I've been called talkative on many occasions, but can still keep a good secret. I like good friends, food, great wine, art, music. To paraphrase, I'd say I am a classy cutie with a J.Lo. booty - had to put it somewhere in this profile!
Serious Sims 2 addiction (PC). Just started taking a jewelry design class - basic metalsmithing: fabrication, lost wax casting, etc.. Can't believe I actually know how to use an acetylene torch. I'm such a girl. I like to bead and crochet. I have taken several Photography classes, both film and digital as well as graphic design and beginning web design.
Interesting people with a passion for life, love and learning new things, old friends from high school, college and previous jobs. Hot men too, of course. ;) No really, you do not have to be hot. The smarter you are, the hotter I'm going to find you.
I'm interested in meeting people who are educated, driven to succeed, both career-wise and in their inter-personal relationships, emotionally mature, have a strong sense of self, and have something to offer to the world. If you volunteer your time to further a cause (either individually, or through a service organization) that is an added plus.

I don't watch much television - I Tivo a few shows. When I do, I usually watch FoodTV (various cooking shows), House, Entourage, Without a Trace, Big Love, Medium, and Psych. Can't get enough of HGTV "Design on a Dime," Flip this House" and "Sell this House" - not sure why. Maybe I want to own a home?? Used to watch MTV back when there was actual music, now I usually listen to satellite radio.
