Hey! I'm Andi. It's been a long road leading to OkCupid. My friend had success here and I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm 30, originally from NoVA and currently live in Manassas. I share an apartment with my best friend. She's the best roommate anyone could ever ask for.

I am an only child. My mother passed away in October 2011. She was a force in my life and for a year I felt rudderless. My father lives in Woodbridge. He and I are semi-estranged. My best friend has 5 brothers and sisters and one hell of a mom. They've become my adopted family. I love all of them and their craziness.

I am a warm, open and loving person. I have lots of room in my life and heart. I've been living by a simple philosophy: Love each other. If the love is there then everything else will work itself out.

I have a five year plan! Ask if you'd like to know more about that!

I have been in the customer service field for most of my adult life and it's something I really enjoy. Currently I work in the Customer Care Department for a large-ish Northern Virginia Area furniture retailer. I love my job, they are very good to me and my co-workers are delightfully crazy!

Communication. It's key really. I am honest at all times and it's something I work on every single day of my life. I'd like to think that I'm good at balancing being honest with nice. My grandmother used to say: "It's nice to be nice."

I've been told that I'm very good at being diplomatic and it's something I'd like to expand upon in my future. Perhaps even make a career out of it.

Honestly? Probably my weight. I'm a big guy. I'm quickly losing weight and I am fitting into cuter more stylish clothes.

Next? My smile. I think I have a good one!

Books: Unfortunately I'm not big on reading but I really enjoy a good fiction story as well as auto-biographies. I love hearing people talking about themselves.

Movies: I love love a good drama. I also enjoy a movie tickling my funny bone.

Shows: Ahhh, my love! Dexter tops this list. Followed by Sons of Anarchy, The Big Bang Theory, Roseanne, The Golden Girls, Mad Men, True Blood, Spartacus, The Closer, The Sopranos and Weeds.

Music: I have a pretty eclectic taste in music. I've been told it's painfully top 40 but in recent years it's been taking a turn. My favorites are: Adele (LOVE!) Emeli Sande, Janis Joplin, Reba McEntire and Cher. I'm experimenting with some other bands/artists like AWOLNATION and Korn. I'm a former Lady Gaga fan. I liked her when she was over the top fabulous.

Food: I like good ole fashion southern food. Spicy is good! My bestie's family is Half Pakistani so I was exposed to all kinds of yummy ethnic foods too.

I wont say family because they aren't things.

1) My Job
2) My Car
3) My iPhone
4) Freedom
5) Showering
6) Food! of course

My future, my goals and how to go about accomplishing them. People who I love. I spend a lot of time in my head. That goes back to being an only child.

Maybe hanging out at home catching up on TV Shows. Perhaps going to a movie with my friends. Maybe having a nice dinner. I also am known to run to my family's house in Delaplane and hang out.

I have a deep, deep love for coffee! I collect coffee cups. It started out as finding big ones to use then it evolved into people buying me ones that reminded them of me. I just got two new AWESOME cups for Christmas!

If you have any questions, are interested in knowing more, have suggestions or concerns!
