About Me

Im a 26 year old Chicagoan. I try to be genuine, which is why i completed two degrees, one in political science and one in social work, and now work in non-profit management. I am a strong, unashamed, feminist liberal who tries to look at the big-picture behind all my words and actions. I screw up sometimes, but i think that makes me human.I love meeting people willing to experience life, admit their failures as much as their accomplishments, and love to laugh. I'm a little all over the place- but in a way i think perfectly suits me.I am married to the lovely and talented DB Schroeder. I knew in the course of a month that this guy is the perfect compliment to my existence. Neither of us are perfect by far, but our faults as well as our accomplishments mesh to make this cohesive, exciting, and beautiful couple. Our daughter Analise completes the picture and makes our family perfect. Having a child changes everything, i am so blessed to have this little being in my life and arms all the time.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nice people. People who like to laugh. Genuine people willing to let people inside their heads. It is really hard for me not to like someone

My review- Dave's show opening

Alright- I must admit that i was more than a little skeptical about this show, 'Earl the Vampire'.  It is a social satire that uses vampires to make a statement about minorities, fear and sociali...
