What can I say about myself...
I think I'm a pretty cool, laid back girl with a great sense of humor.
I don't take simple things too seriously (unless you're supposed to, like work, for instance) and don't play silly dating games.
If I like you, I'll say so, so if you like me...don't be shy!!
I moved downtown to the East Village and am having fun getting to know all the great places in my neighborhood.

Send me a note and maybe we'll try something new together.

PS. If you can make me really laugh, I'm yours.

Taking some time off for the first time in 12 years while I look for a satisfying and exciting new job!
I really have nothing to complain about. Life is pretty damn good.

-Swimming
-Getting sunburned
-Listening to music at ear-spliting volume
-Making dinner for friends
-Making sure you never get too drunk and fall down
-Parallel parking in tiny spots
-Learning song lyrics

-Where I'm going to go on my next vacation!
-Why I wasn't born with a killer singing voice and amazing dancing abilities. Ugh.
-If my dog has been home alone for too long.
-How amazing it would be if an elevator magically appeared in my building.
-Opening my own Home Furnishings store.
-How I probably should have gone to Med school.
-Having a dishwasher
-Where I parked and if I have to move my car in the morning.

Either having dinner with friends or chilling on my couch with my dog. I love a good night in.

I am deathly afraid of sharks and will probably pass out if I ever actually see one while I'm in the water. That said, I am compelled to watch Shark Week every summer. I can't help myself!

You're single and looking to meet someone real and normal!
