I've learned a great deal and grown into a better person living away from home. North Carolina was quite the experience, but I'm happy to be back in the Rochester area. Most would say I'm friendly, approachable, and a bit of a dork.

The mystery of the unknown can be so exciting. Every day holds new surprises.

Taking 5 minutes to look up something on Wikipedia and spending 3 hours filling my head with useless information from all the links I clicked.

I'm vertically challenged. I have long eyelashes. My big smile.

My interests are eclectic from ice skating to conversation over coffee. The best time of year, of course, is during the warmer months when you'll find me spending as much time outdoors as possible. For this reason alone I occasionally wish I had stayed in the South, but having all four seasons has its advantages.

As far as music and movies go, I'm all over the spectrum. GaGa to Enya, Some Like It Hot to Pan's Labyrinth. Currently my favorite television show is Once Upon a Time, there's just something about escapism these days.

The universe. It scares some people to think that even in our own galaxy we're the size of an atom, but the sheer size and diversity of it all just fascinates me.

Kicking back with friends over wine, beer, whatever. I don't drink to get drunk, it's just not my style.

I can't whistle. Or blow bubble gum. Sigh.

you think you can handle me. Respect and thoughtfulness will win me over in a heartbeat.
