Junior

I'd like to meet:

New rule: If you're someone who is trying to friend me in an effort to promote your (insert random crap here), don't bother. I'm not interested in adding your band or checking out your boozin gear. Please don't waste my time.

I am an aries. "Mars is the Aries' ruling planet . It makes the people of this sign have an active life, constantly giving them a reserve of energy. That makes them careless, unruly, ambitious and competitive.This sign's place in the horoscope is first, and the people of this sign also want to be first in all. Aries is a very self-confident sign. Aries' symbol is a ram-an animal which tries to get everything by impact of a head-and everyone who ever dealt with an Aries knows that they go directly to their purpose as persistently as the rams." That about describes me. If you're not into that personality, you probably don't want to meet me.

I want to meet a man who makes me feel special. Someone who makes my heart flutter at the sound of his voice. Someone who can make me smile without saying a word. Someone who I can feel absolutely comfortable with, whether we are alone watching a movie, drinking wine in front of a fire, or out with all of our friends. I want someone who appreciates me for who I am. I want someone who loves me and lets me know it. I want someone who I can't get enough of. I want to meet the other half that makes me feel whole. I know it sounds cliche, but that is truly how I feel and I will find him someday. UPDATE: I have found him!!!

I like people with whom I can have an intelligent conversation. But, I don't like people who constantly have to sound smart to make themselves feel good. I hate people who have to "one-up" me on everything I say, or who have some comment about why I'm wrong. I also love people that I can be totally silly with and not worry about sounding stupid. I like to meet people with interests similar to my own, but I am open to new things. I want to live like to the fullest, so if you're someone who has a new experience for me to try, send me a message!

This is so nerdy, but I like someone I can talk science with. I am a chemist, after all. I enjoy talking about my job, but some of the things I do tend to go in one ear and out the other for most people. Bonus points if you know what high performance liquid chromatography is.

Famous people I'd like to meet:

1. Johnny Depp. Duh. Did you not see my layout? *shivers* mmmm...

2. Al Pacino. One of the greatest actors of our time. I have tremendous respect. Whooooo-ah.

3. President Bill Clinton. I figure most people would say they'd like to meet a president. I don't really care to, but if I did, I would meet Clinton. He seems like a nice guy.

6. Harper Lee. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all time favorite books.

7. The Detroit Red Wings. Okay, I know that is more than one person, but cut me some slack. The wings rule and I love them.

8. Jimmy Buffett. Nothing makes me feel good on bad day than some caribbean soul.

Music:

I'm pretty much open to anything. I love me some country music, to the dismay of all my friends back home I'm sure. My all time faves: Journey, Jimmy Buffet, Barenaked Ladies, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley...

"When you find yourself In some far off place And it causes you to rethink some things You start to sense that slowly You're becoming someone else And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town And you start to think about settlin' down The things that would have been lost on you Are now clear as a bell And you find yourself Yeah that's when you find yourself

Where you go through life So sure of where you’re headin' And you wind up lost and it's The best thing that could have happened ‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well Because you find yourself Yeah that’s when you find yourself

When you meet the one That you've been waitin' for And she's everything that you want and more You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else And then you find yourself That’s when you find yourself

When we go through life So sure of where we're headin' And we wind up lost and it's The best thing that could have happened ‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well Because you find yourself Yeah that's when you find yourself"

Movies:

Into: comedies, dramas, date movies Not into: Jackie Chan and action movies

Television:

Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Boston Legal, anything on the Food Network-especially Alton Brown's Good Eats (and *hangs head* American Idol)

"Saying there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers." ~Michelle Duger (look her up online. this chick can't get enough)

Books:

I'm really into Patricia Cornwell, though I feel her recent stuff is losing the original draw of the Kay Scarpetta series. I pretty much like any forensic science related books. Two top must reads: Stiff by Mary Roach and Death's Acre by Dr. Bill Bass. I have recently expanded my horizons to other fiction including Wally Lamb and John Irving.

Heroes:

My mom and my grandma are probably my two heroes. They are extremely confident, successful, independent women. They have been imperative in my development into the person I am today. Also, my late grandfather. If he could see me now, he would be so proud of the person I have become. I miss you, Pop.
