At my heart I am an idealistic dreamer who believes in humanity and the power of action. I am committed to improvement, whether it is of myself or the world around me. I want to explore the world and never stop learning. I want to experience all life has to offer and then some. We only have so much time on this crazy planet and I am going to make the best of it.

I firmly believe that life is a journey and that we should never stop moving forward; there should always be something to work toward. I just graduated from college with a degree in political science and social justice and am now trying to figure out which path it is that I am going to take next. It has me excited and nervous at the same time.

Listening, connecting to people, making people laugh (at least I like to think so).

I donno, you tell me.

I tend not to have too many stand-out favorites, but there are a lot of things I love...

Books: I don't read too much fiction and looking at my books next to me, they are mostly social justice or political in nature. Ranging from human rights to activism to Gandhi's autobiography. I also recently read a really interesting book on spirituality.

Movies: I'm an activist and a true believer in humanity at heart, so movies that showcase the wonders of the human race tend to attract me. Finding Neverland and I am Sam come to mind. I also enjoy some indie films, comedies, and a whole range of other genres.

Music: The one favorite I do have is with music, U2 is number one in my book followed by Jamie Cullum. After them, I enjoy Brandi Carlile, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beatles, Jaxon Mraz, Jon Mayer, the Goo Goo Dolls, the list goes on...

Food: I love trying new and different things. I would rather go to a new restaurant than go to the same one over and over. Lately I have been craving sushi and Thai food, but just about anything else is good too.

Friends/family
Music
My convictions

I used to think I needed a lot of other things too, but lately I've changed my tune. Maybe I'll add more later.

Life in general, political/social issues, the future, whatever is going on at the moment, or sometimes nothing at all.

It depends. Some nights I am content with curling up with a good book, other nights I might be spending time with a small group of friends, or perhaps I'm out on the town making the most of the night.

I enjoy ice cream more than I should, I wear a size 13 shoe, and I desperately want a golden retriever.

If you are in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, between the ages of 22 and 28, aren't just looking for a random encounter and are a genuine person.
