let me just say that this is NOT a glass ceiling. this is beyond that--a marble ceiling (Nancy Pelos

About Me

hmmmmm......i moved to minneapolis about five years ago for graduate school.........i'm a country-gone-city girl who has lived both rural and metropolitan midwestern lifestyles. i really will do anything once....i love trying new things and meeting people along the way. outside of responsibility, i often prefer 'non-scheduled' schedules. i very much enjoy spontaneity, and i love to travel and experience cultures different from my own.i recently finished graduate school course-work, and i look forward to the challenges and adventures of my doctoral internship (i'm definitely thinking some place warm)...life truly is short, and delicately precious.

My Interests

traveling; beaches and sunshine; music; baseball; poker; coffee; politics and social issues; a good glass of wine; meeting new people; trying different foods; i'm always up for anything! ...

I'd like to meet:

people who like to have a good time! interesting, humorous, laid back, and complicated people.PLEASE DO NOT send me a friend request unless: 1) i know you, 2) we have conversed online a bit, or 3) you are a band/dj/entertainer (free covers ROCK:)...

Music:

i have a deep appreciation and respect for ALL sounds and original creations-ROCK ON! i very much dislike attempting to 'categorize' ("genres") musical sounds/styles. two of my more permanent favorites include yeah, yeah, yeahs and rage against the machine. for me, nothing compares to live concerts/performances at one of minneapolis' long-standing, intimate venues (we are damn fortunate!). i especially enjoy supporting original work from local musicians. in my TOP 8, check out 'the alrights,' 'coach said not to' and 'greg cardinal'-all ridiculously talented MN bands. 'andy moor' (United Kingdom) spins beats that are all his own. this girl will never pay money to see a cover band, and 12-string guitar truly makes me weak in the knees :)

Movies:

good will hunting; garden state; groundhog day; lost in translation; old school; tommy boy; before sunrise; before sunset; pretty woman; cruel intentions; fletch lol!; the 40 year-old virgin--i laughed my ass off...hilarious! i'll watch any movie except horror (suspense is okay) also, i make an effort to support independent films and 'non-mainstream' films and/or projects in general. i have to be in the right mood to read subtitles or watch crazy comedies (dumb and dumber!), though. ...

Television:

i honestly would prefer to not have cable, but my roommate insists on it. i do not watch much tv unless it is baseball season--my minnesota twins on FSN! sex and the city (the tbs version does not compare); family guy; master minds; cnn; court tv; ESPN. i'm the girl who ends up watching random movies on cable to procrastinate ...

Heroes:

God sent me an angel, and her name was Alison; my grams, a truly inspiring woman in her strength; my lisa-girl, who recently earned her doctorate in clinical psychology AND miller time!; ann richards; paul wellstone.
