About Me

I live in Lincoln Park. I am the youngest of four girls. I attended Creighton University in Nebraska and now I am earning a Masters in Secondary Education at National Louis in Chicago. I never dreamed about being a teacher, but I think that it may be a wise career choice for me. I have tried my hand at law, finance, not-for-profit and hospitality, none of which suited me. Finding a purpose in my life has been a huge stumbling stone. All of my close friends are from college and they live out of state, so I am frequently flying solo in Chicago. I was hoping to meet some friends through this.

My Interests

I am taking tennis lessons right now. I played a bit of golf last summer and would like to continue with that this summer. I love playing games: athletic and board. I like movies and television too much. I read a moderate amount and I am huge into thought and discussion. I would like to volunteer more at my parish. I love to dance as most women do and I think singing karaoke is a blast. Drinking is something I do to be social, but ultimately I would rather waste the calories on sweets. I am in okay shape. I really prefer exercising outside and cold weather is a hinderence. I am kind of a baby about being cold.

I'd like to meet:

A deep thinker like Socrates.

Music:

I listen to a variety of music. My ipod is my only motivation to get on the treadmill. I should attend more concerts because I enjoy them a great deal. Small venues are far more condusive to music appreciation. Milwaukee Fest is a great music experience.

Movies:

Any good movie has to have an underlying meaning in my opinion. If I walk away thinking "that film had absolutely no purpose" then I am displeased. Movies are entirly too expensive at the theaters, but I can't resist. Musicals like GiGi made up my childhood dreams, Dirty Dancing introduced me to pre-teen romance, romantic comedies are timeless, Exorcism of Emily Rose is the most haunting movie ever ...I really like films.

Television:

I watch entirely too much. It is my biggest downfall because I only watch things that are a total waste of time. Grey's Anatomy is my new favorite show. Law & Order and C.S.I are always on some channel and I love that. I remember loving China Beach and St. Elsewhere (sp).

Books:

My favorite series begins with Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. I like reading and I wish I did more. Reading the Wallstreet Journal was the bain of my existence when I was working in finance. I honestly don't know how people stay wake on the train with it in their hands.

Heroes:

I don't really have one. I wish I did because maybe it would help me to feel less lost all of the time.

They know

Growing up in a household of girls has allowed me to escape some of the facts of life...until now. Turns out boys are aware that we poop. I know this because recently my only male friend confirmed it....

Another Saturday night

I am alone again. There is no arguing that my present social status is a direct result of my personality. The funny thing is I never used to have any problems meeting girlfriends and now I have no fem...
