About Me

* Born and raised in Iowa, I'm a Midwest girl at heart, ALWAYS.
* I am painfully shy until you get to know me.
* I love the east coast, there's so much to do here! But for the love of GOD people can not drive!
* I love humor, sarcasm, and making fun of other people.
* I'm a firm believer in Karma.
* People falling down is extremely funny to me for some reason.
* Finally, at the age of 27 I get along with my parents. My brothers... well that's another story.
* My closest friends live over 1000 miles away from me, and I miss all of them terribly.
* I have the WORST temper and I have ZERO patience. I should probably take an anger management class.
* I've met my soul mate.
* I have a degree in psychology, but have worked in the financial field for almost 7 years. Go figure!
* I tend to laugh at really inappropriate times.
* I love to travel, especially to big cities with lots of culture.
* I am a reality TV junkee.
* I love my boyfriend and 3 cats with all my heart!
* I have an incessant need-to-know attitude, which has unfortunately led me to a lot of heartache but in the end... I needed to know.
* I love quotes!
You have 72% Iowa in you!

Nice score! Are you embarrassed or proud of being so much Iowa? I would be proud, it's great being so closely tied to the Hawkeye State.

My Interests

Music, traveling, photography, pretending I know how to dance, my girl friends, the shore, spending time with the boyfriend, trying to understand football, exploring Philly, urban exploration, myspace stalking, shopping, discovering new places/things, historical places, and missing my family/friends back home.

I'd like to meet:

Friends, classmates, etc. who I've lost touch with over the years (JFK alumni, where you at?!) and new friends from Jersey! Anyone who isn't lame, has a sense of humor, and NO DRAMA!

As if I needed ANOTHER reason to dislike the evil counterpart of The Hills... but apparently I do because she's a McCain supporter:http://www.theinsider.com/news/1062864_New_BFFs_Me ghan_McCain_and_Hei...
