I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I enjoy traveling and going out. I am very sociable. I thrive on getting to know people and enjoy being engaged in stimulating conversations ranging from jazz to current events. I have a deep respect and love for the arts. I live for performing on any stage. Performing is a chance to let my inner diva out. I love to laugh and be goofy. Pet peeves: Repetitive people, dripping faucets and people who ask me to call/IM them right off the bat. Let me get to know you a little better, okay?

My Interests

I LOVE music! I love listening to it. I love singing it. And I wasted my parent's hard earned money for 10yrs. trying to play it on the piano. I enjoy acting, singing, people watching, traveling, trying new things (take that how you want to take it!)dancing and spending time with my friends.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting people who are comfortable in their own skin. I think it's admirable that a person can tell it like it is and likes to live life. I'm looking for people that want to share their life experiences with me and who enjoy laughing at life and themselves. Most importantly-you've gotta be nice. Rude asses need not apply!

Music:

Aerosmith, Miles Davis, Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliot, any classic rock band you would either hear in a strip club or pool hall, broadway showtunes, Bo Bice, Erykah Badu, Beck, bush, tracy chapman,Outkast,Sting, Prince, Annie Lennox, Aretha, Alicia Keys, Jamiroquai, Lauryn Hill, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Ursher,Alanis Morrisette,80s, Madonna,Motown, seal, sinatra,paul simon, U2, Anthony Hamilton, soundgarden,STP, Maroon5, John Legend,The Who, Rolling Stones,Cream, The Eagles, blues (Esp. BB King), Ella Fitzgerald,-I'm pretty open. Musical dreams-To be a lead singer in a rock band, sing a duet with S. Tyler, and perform in a broadway show.

Movies:

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, School Daze, Anything Mel Brooks directed, The Breakfast Club, The Rock,Shawshank Redemption, Moulin Rouge, Rush Hour (I & II), When Harry Met Sally, Mommy Dearest, A Streetcar Named Desire, anything Spike Lee, Christopher Guest, M. Scorsese, S. Speilberg, or Johnathan Singleton directs. There's probably more but that's all my brain is allowing tonight.

Television:

The 4400, Prison Break, CSI, Law & Order, American Idol, and any cheezy reality show that is never carried over the next season like Flava of Love(I still can't understand why no one has snatched him up!)

Books:

BBQ and Bowling

So I was hankering for some BBQ. I could taste the hickory smoke flavor of chicken, etc. in the air. But it was only 55-60 degrees today. But the temp was quickly dropping to 30. I didn't care. I...

Looking for Adventure...Or Whatever comes my way...in Atlantic City
