About Me

Three words to describe me: creative, perceptive and independent. What I work on day to day is to balance my life. This is an ongoing task that can take a serious or humorous tone. I enjoy my job, my friends, my family and my alone time. I am inquisitive and love learning on any level. There is nothing better than a great conversation about nothing (Seinfeld reference) or a great conversation about everything that matters. Things I enjoy are anything creative, open-minded, John Stewart, muppets, a great belly laugh, time with friends, traveling, a good movie, theatre, a stunning sunset, camping, tandem skydiving, hiking, living in the moment, day dreaming, reading, journaling, a good bottle of wine and being surprised.Listen, look, feel...and enjoy life.

My Interests

Anything creative, oil painting, rock climbing, laughing, great conversations, interesting questions, camping, down hill skiing, scuba, hiking, the outdoors, reading, laying in a pool of sun, the smell and feel of rain, a thunderstorm, muppets, alone time, llamas, kidding about the llamas, anything ridiculous or silly, good wine, festivals, walking along the lake, time with my friends and family, reading, journaling, movies, summers in milwaukee, a great restaurant, tandem skydiving, open-minded people and anything that I have not experienced yet...

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people that are genuine, open-minded, sincere and real. I am mostly on myspace to keep in touch with my close friends so I don't extend my "friends" network too often. On a dating level I am looking for the 'real thing'. Not interested in "dating around". What do I look for in the 'real thing'? Someone down right "incredible".

..

Music:

I love most kinds of music. As as long as I connect to it, I enjoy it.

Movies:

I love a good movie. I prefer to laugh or be inspired. Two of my favorites are Contact and Love Actually.

Television:

Will & Grace, The Office and John Stewart are some of my favorites. Love to learn with TLC, Discovery and the National Geographic Channel.

Books:

Now that I am in graduate school I have slowed down in my personal reading. I love to read and I enjoy being read to. I enjoy fiction, non-fiction, magazines and newspapers like the Shepard Express, Discover or the Onion.

Heroes:

People that live with courage. That means that everyone can be a hero depending on what you are scared of. Heroic acts happen everyday and if we look for them...we see them.
