About Me

I just moved back to St. Louis from Atlanta after ten years away, so its a bit of a culture shock. However, being close to my family again is priceless.

My Interests

Hiking, weightlifting, firefighting, politics, hockey, football, swing dancing, reading, writing, studying, music, hanging out with my friends, exploring the city, road trips, photography, going to clubs, volunteering...

I'd like to meet:

I am looking for new friends and people who will remind me that the midwest is so much better than the south. Friends and others whom I can enjoy time with in and around the city. Exploring common interests, appreciating our commonalities and differences. I am very diverse; I hate being labeled and stuffed inside a box. I prefer to be around those that are open-minded, non-judgmental, and can appreciate life simply for what it is, not what it 'should' be. I like to have conversation on any number of topics where all parties can speak openly, express their opinion, and enjoy friendly debates.

Television:

Books:

Mostly non-fiction - memoirs, biographies, psychology, research and studies, reference. David Sedaris, Hollis Gillespie, Augusten Burroughs, James Frey. Also enjoyed the DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons.

Heroes:

My father will always be my hero, as will my mom and family and friends, for being the best influences, role models and support system anyone could ever ask for. Others I admire are Audrey Hepburn, Elaine Viets (author), Katie Couric, Oprah, and all the firefighters across the country who put their lives on the line everyday.
