I am here for Friends

About Me

20-something almost-lawyer searching for ways to overcome injustice and create positive change. Deep believer in social and economic justice, LGBT rights, children's advocacy, and the Indianapolis Colts. Loves street festivals, sushi, thunderstorms, flip-flops, and driving on Lake Shore Drive with the music up and the windows down. Despises ignorance, meatloaf, traffic jams, and the republican party. City girl with an Indiana heart. Blessed with a wonderful family, the oldest of three with two amazing siblings...they are my heroes. Mom to two crazy dogs, Kayla and Quinn, and Old Man, the sweetest cat ever. Loving life in the Chi with an amazing woman and the greatest friends anyone could ask for.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Old friends. New friends. People who like hole-in-the-wall pubs with good jukeboxes and cheap beer. People who are passionate about something...anything...and can teach me new things. People who can laugh at themselves (and others) and help me to not take life too seriously. People who move me, people who make me think, people who make me laugh. Anyone who wants to teach me to play bass. And that motherfu*ker who broke into my car.
