About Me

You WANT to know me .... you just haven't realized it yet. So, I'm going to help you out.
    I am ENERGETIC (I never stop....I keep going and going and going ;) I'm INTENSE (passionate on many levels) I'm FEISTY (as a black belt in taekwondo, I can hold my own in a "play" fight) I'm SMART (in fact, I'm 98% sure that I'm one of the most intelligent people you'll ever meet). ROMANTIC (caring, considerate, affectionate) SILLY (water fights, dumb tv, hours of Ali G. - you get the picture). I'm EMOTIONAL (I laugh when I want to; I cry when I need to - because I'm a girl, and we do that sometimes) I'm SUCCESSFUL (MBA/CPA, work in M&A) I'm WELL-TRAVELED (lived in NYC, London and Chicago and have traveled all over the US, Europe, some Islands, Israel and Korea) I am 100% REAL (I don't believe in plastic surgery. I possess that calm confidence that goes along with accepting myself as "perfect"-ly flawed.) I am AMBIDEXTROUS (allowing my left-brain and my right-brain to work in perfect tandem). I HAVE THE BEST DOGS (Kiri and Mandy kick ass). I'm a REPUBLICAN (enough said). I'm an ENTJ (for those who are familiar with Myers-Briggs). I haven't lost my SENSE OF WONDER.
Basically, I have my act together...for the most part. I'm not a player or a swinger or a struggling actress or a silicone-injected escort. But, I do possess all of the related dichotomies that are inherently "female." Care to know more? Read on.

My Interests

Tae Kwon Do, working out, reading, wine (especially red ;), cooking, playing with my pup, hanging with friends, NYC lounges and restaurants, playing with my BlackBerry, politics (preferably Republican politics ;)

I'd like to meet:

Extraordinary people. Intelligent people. Fun people Those who might share the same interests....working out, politics, taekwondo, wine, NYC lounge scene, waxing philosophic, pontification for pontification's sake, intellectual sparring. Republicans are always a plus...

"But, in fact, a man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions. Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive, and I will tell you his entire philosophy of life. Show me ...
