I’m a tri-state girl who has become a Bklyn transplant. I love Brooklyn and have been a Brooklynite for close to 8 years! My idea of a perfect day is strapping a pair of skis on and feeling the rush of the wind go by me as I fly down the mountain. Since I can’t (or don’t) do that every day, I have a lot of other loves – biking around Bklyn, hiking or just getting lost, ice skating, pitch and put… oh, and skydiving… for the adventurous side of me. I’m also passionate about music, travel, being captivated by a good book, laughing, enjoying time (and maybe a glass of wine or beer) with my friends and endless love for my family. My friends would say that I'm chatty, can have a silly sense of humor at times (which I typically reveal once I'm more comfortable) and have an optimistic outlook. At the core, I consider myself to just be a sweet and caring person.

Life is meant to be enjoyed and enjoying it with other people makes it even better. From 9-5 Monday-Friday, I work in marketing for a national news company. I enjoy my work and take pride in what I do. BUT work is not my life. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my friends, travel and take advantage of all the great things in NY.

Laughing. Laughing at myself. Bull shitting. Giving career advice (kinda goes hand-in-hand with being a good BSer). Listening. Going with the flow. Writing haikus. Day dreaming. Skiing. Knowing the correct way to use a semi colon. Ping pong. Making french toast. Pastels (when inspired). Air hockey. Jenga. Powerpoint presentations. Alliteration. Making to-do lists.

And I feel that on the opposite note, I should disclose some of my "not so good at" traits...like in any interview, they always ask what your weaknesses are. The ones that stand out most for me are my lack of spelling ability and that I'm tone deaf (although that does not stop me from "singing" along).

I'm short. A full 5 feet (and 1/2 inch)! My uncontrollable smile. Long eye lashes...and you know I like you if I wear mascara since it's not a daily thing for me ;)

Favorite Reads... White Blindness, Catch 22, Comedy of Errors, In Cold Blood, Little Women, Time on Fire, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Namesake, Holidays on Ice, Into The Wild (also a beautiful movie), Dispatches from the Edge, Fanny Mae (I remember reading this in college and it was like 18th century porn... lol), Before Night Falls, Postcard from the Edge, Where the Wild Things Are, etc.

Favorite Flicks... Usual Suspects, Spaceballs, Harry Met Sally, Garden State, Dirty Dancing, Knocked Up, Romeo & Juliet (the Leo version), Meet the Parents, 25th Hour, Saved, Little Miss Sunshine, Sidewalks of New York, The Beach, Closer, Office Space, Monty Python, Legally Blonde, The Departed, 50 First Dates, The Italian Job, Bend it like Beckham, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Reality Bites, Ferris Bueller, Dead Man Walking, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, etc.

Favorite music... I love music in general (the way it can provoke emotion and passion) and love discovering new artists/groups. Def no heavy metal, hard core rap, candy pop or country though. REM, U2, Greatful Dead, Keane, Guster, Death Cab, Bloc Party, Broken Social Scene, Aimee Mann, G Love, Santogold, Beatie Boys, The Shins, Frou Frou, Rusted Root, Beck, The Killers, Postal Service, Radiohead, Johnny Cash, Snow Patrol, Eddie Vedder, Interpol, Tori Amos, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Jeff Buckley, The National, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wu-Tang, Violent Femmes, The Tings Tings, The Smiths, Oasis, The Hold Steady, The Submarines, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Feist, Arcade Fire, Dinosaur Jr., Ben Harper, etc.

1. My family and friends
2. My cat, Chloe (the most friendly feline ever)
3. My ipod (music makes me happy)
4. My skis (this would also include all associated gear) :-)
5. My morning coffee
6. My down comforter

My plans for the week, my next vacation, my to-do list, etc.

In the Winter, ducking out of work early to drive up to VT. On a nice Spring/Summer/Fall day, meeting friends for drinks after work and/or dining al fresco. Nothing like sitting outside and enjoying a good glass of wine or microbrew and getting some sun. And on all other Friday nights, probably just keeping it local in Bklyn.

Gonna have to give this one some thought before my fingers type something they shouldn't... plus it wouldn't be private anymore :P

You can laugh at yourself (and at me... I like to crack silly jokes). You have a good heart. You strive for success and aspire to reach your goals. You can have an intelligent conversation, but can also let loose and be silly. You want to find someone to share new adventures with.

And you can reach the glass on the high shelf for me.

Cockiness is a definite turn off and emotional stability is a must.
