I'm a super bubbly down-to-earth girl that enjoys the simple things in life. Though going out and exploring the city is fun, I am equally content to curl up at home with a good book, a movie, or just some stimulating conversation. I am one of the most honest people you will ever meet and don't like to sugarcoat the truth, so be prepared for an honest answer if you ask me a question. Don't worry though...I am not mean. In fact, I go out of my way to help others and set my sights on putting a smile on the faces of those around me. Life is too short to waste energy on negativity!

I have worked long and hard to get where I am career-wise and love what I do despite the fact that the hours can be long. Otherwise, my family and friends mean everything to me and there's nothing I love more than spending quality time with them.

I am a total bookworm and adore movies, so there is no sense in trying to capture my favorites in the space provided.

Music is also a HUGE part of my life, and some of my favorite bands include Adele, Adema, Air, Aqua, Army of Lovers, Assemblage 23, Bad Religion, Basshunter, Blue October, Michael Buble, Bodies Without Organs, Cars, Johnny Cash, Concrete Blonde, Counting Crows, The Cure, Daft Punk, Danzig, Darling Violetta, Darude, Dead Can Dance, Depeche Mode, Die Warzau, Disturbed, Dope, Funker Vogt, Five For Fighting, Garbage, Gunther, The Killers, Korn, KMFDM, Ladytron, Live, Lords of Acid, Madonna, Marilyn Manson, MDFMK, Metallica, Ministry, Misfits, Morbid Angel, Morrissey, Peter Murphy, New Order, Nine Inch Nails, Paul Oakenfold, Pantera, Peaches, Phoenix, Pink, Pink Floyd, Pixies, Rage Against the Machine, Ramones, Rammstein, Saliva, Seether, The Smiths, Social Distortion, Soil, Static-X, Suicide Commando, System of a Down, Tiesto, Type O Negative, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, VNV Nation, Tom Waits, Rob Zombie and White Zombie.

As for food... I LOVE to cook.

...ways to not think quite so much! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE being a thinker and enjoy stimulating conversation, but there are times when I wish I could just shut it off. When I'm trying to sleep, for example. But no...my mind keeps racing, which explains my insomnia to a certain extent.
