I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm new to Chicago and beyond excited of the possibilities a new city holds for me! The first 22 years of my life found me growing up and going to school in Indiana (grew up tall and right with them Indiana boys on an Indiana night as Tom Petty couldn't have said better!). After graduating college, my need for travel had me living in North Carolina, Texas, and Hawaii doing various zoology internships. The past seven years of my life I spent in San Diego. I'm a country girl at heart though and, although sunny San Diego was great, I missed the seasons and my family and friends here in the midwest so I packed up and left Diego behind, ready for the next phase in my life. Having the opportunity to live in so many diverse places has helped to make me who I am today...someone I am proud to be...a progressive thinker with old fashioned values. If you wanna hang with me, you can't be intimidated by height or self-conscious of your own. I'm 5'10" and love to wear stilettos! Love me, love my shoes! I'm a girl who's not afraid to get a little dirt under her fingernails but I clean up real nice! I require culture and diversity as much as the air I breathe! I have little tolerance for bigots and drama. I'm just a chill girl who likes to have a good time and enjoy life!

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes ta...
