About Me

I'm a warrior and a superstar. I'm a dancey person. My nickname in dance class is "Black Girl" and I'm really proud of that. I've also been called a "fiery little thing," and a "hot little number" but my boy calls me The Bizz and Captain Disarray. I count my points. I crack myself up. Alone time is crucial, but I also play well with others. I walk to the beat of what's playing on my ipod. I'm a flirt. I'm a good listener. I love to throw quaint get-togethers with lots of food and wine. I buy way too many pretty journals for the frequency with which I actually write in them. I'm focused, but only on things I care about. I repeat myself a lot because I get excited about things. I'm a planner and a nurturer. I'm not afraid of my own physicality... in fact, I define myself by it. I listen to myself and trust what my heart and body are saying. It's amazing. My life is a PARTY right now and I'm just LAUGHING and watching it all unfold! So many great things. Just plain ABUNDANCE, people. YES! MyGen MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Dancing! Hip hop, lyrical, Latin, Swing, ANYTHING! The gym, my family, keeping it real, music, knitting, wine, coffee, food, hip hop, languages, laughing out loud, University of Michigan football and the Steelers, comfort food, expressing LOVE and GRATITUDE, focusing on the PRESENT moment and letting go of the past with love.

I'd like to meet:

For me it's all about integrity right now. People with integrity. Oh, and fun seekers. Warriors. Bakers. Huggers. People who can teach me something I don't know.

Music:

Any dirty R&B/hip hop that includes the lyrics "Til 6 in the mornin'"... also, India.Arie, Ani, Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, Missy Elliot, Pussycat Dolls, Prince, Jill Scott, Waking Vision, Sonya Kitchell, Gary Go, Maxwell, 50 Cent, Eva Cassidy, Diana Krall, Justin, Beyonce, Leela James, Michael Buble, N'Dambi, various and sundry other performers. I have even been known to drift into the world of country, but I blame that entirely on an ex-boyfriend.

Movies:

I don't go to the movies much but I saw HAPPY FEET and it was so great! Also, everyone should be required to watch The Secret (www.thesecret.tv). It will change your life. I also love foreign films and great documentaries and comedy and movies that make me laugh and cry. Mad Hot Ballroom, Dreamgirls (um HELLO Jennifer Hudson!?), Shawshank Redemption, Steel Magnolias, Singin' in the Rain (I think that's my fave), Love Actually, Spaceballs, you name it!

Television:

24. I like crime shows and action shows and shows that teach you how to do things... however, I did recently purchase ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. Pretty brilliant. My favorite show in a long time.
