I'm an extrovert (hard to believe, I know). My friends are generally my family, though I have an amazing sister, brother-in-law and a niece and nephew (I've got stories, just ask). I love to tell stories of the crazy stuff that I've experienced in life and hear what other crazy stuff my friends have gotten themselves into. I like to travel, but don't get to do it much. I like to laugh and am not afraid to laugh loud. I enjoy running, but need motivation to kick it up beyond the 3 mile loop around my house. I'm never satisfied with the status quo and think it's important to not only challenge myself but to surround myself with people that will challenge me to become a better person. I know most of the people on my friends list personally (save the celebrities). It's important for me to keep in touch with people from all my sections of life (past places I've lived, schools, work, etc). I was a youth minister for 5 years. Yeah, that usually shocks people, it's ok. I now work with software. That usually shocks people, too. I love good music, good food, good times, good people. I am old enough and have enough friends that I don't need to waste my time making myself fit in where I don't belong (though, too often I revert back to that self-conscious 7th grader--I'm working on it). My favorite drink is a gin and tonic. I drink lots of water not because I have to but because I like it. I like to cook, but generally need motivation to do so. I like to dance, but don't pretend to be good at it. I have fun staying in and playing games or going to the bar and playing some of my made up games (forced choice, anyone?). Wow, who knew I could talk about myself so much?
