Unless it is mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it's a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life - Love should not be one of them.

I'm somewhat of a 'closet nerd.' But I'm one of the cool ones. I have a lot of guy friends so I'm one of those girls who can sit down with a cold beer, and play video games (though my gaming skills are seriously lacking, but I'm told I'm amusing to watch), while at the same time I can get dressed up for a night on the town, or even just a night at home. I love to sing, cook, and I'm taking a new hold on my life. I'm trying new things, becoming more active and trying to live a healthier life style. I'm a Criminal Justice Major minoring in Music and Psychology. I play a few instruments. I have big dreams, and want someone who aims high as well.

*Certain words and sounds make my skin crawl and I try to avoid them at all costs...

I'm a unique individual, and I think I'm pretty damn awesome, in a totally not vain way, and I won't settle for for something that's ordinary. I'm looking for something to start off slow, as friends, and then maybe work it's way up to something serious, if it's in the cards.

I currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, after which I hope to attend Grad school for Criminology and get my Masters and Ph. D. I work in a factory to pay the bills since this school thing is expensive!!

I'm pretty good with music, I was actually a Vocal Performance major before I switched to Criminal Justice. I love to make people laugh, and I'm extremely creative. I'm a master at taking the contents of a nearly bare cupboard and making a pretty decent meal out of it. I love to cook, especially for other people.
I'm really good at spoiling my friends/significant other. I'm always leaving little notes, or giving massages, or baking their favourite cookies or having a beer ready for them when they get home from a bad day. I love to try to make people smile, especially when they've had a rough day.

is my dorky smile and laugh. I'm almost always smiling or laughing. Right after that, I'm sure people notice my chest... lol.. My girls are kinda hard to hide. :)

I read constantly, but the last book I finished was Lucky by Alice Sebold. Now I'm reading a book on female serial killers and why they become serial killers... interesting...

When it comes to movies, I can find enjoyment in just about anything, but I particularly love the thrillers and comedies.

Music, again, I love just about everything, though there are a few exceptions. I'm not too into hardcore rap (though I do enjoy hip-hop) and if I listen to too much metal for too long I literally develop a headache. But I still like it.

Food-wise I'm a meat and potatoes kinda girl. Gimme steak any day. I'm a big fan of Asian cuisine, as well as typical bar food. I'm trying really hard to eat healthier these days, so we'll see how that all works out.

I'm gonna go with 7 because I like to break the rules... and Cuz I do what I want:
1. My phone - It's my only way of contact with some of my friends as well as my parents.
2. A good set of cooking knives - Seriously, if you cook as much as I do, you understand how important good knives are...
3. Some form of music - Be it an instrument, my voice, a radio or an iPod, I HAVE to have music in my life.
4. I'd really prefer to not have to go through life without my friends and family - My friends are about the only things keeping me sane in a world like this... lol
5. A good pillow - Seriously, I sleep with like 6 pillows at a time, if not more...
6. My stuffed Fivel Goes West doll - It belonged to my great grandma who came from Sweden and then belonged to my Grandma who gave it to me. I've loved that thing since I was born and I still sleep with it at night.
7. SEX. I love sex. And Cuddling. I just don't get to do it often. That being said, no, I will NOT have sex with any random yahoo who messages me on this site.

I spend soooo much time thinking about my future: Where I want to go, what I want to do, who I want to be. Sex is also on my mind quite often. I also spend a lot of time planning trips as a sort of reward for reaching various life goals. Next up: 2 weeks trip to Ireland when I graduate with my Bachelor's.

Well, right now, I'm usually working. But when I'm not working, I'll hang out with some friends, maybe go to a bar. I'm not much of a club girl, but I do try to get out and do stuff when I can.

I'm still afraid of the dark... Lame, I know

you managed to read my profile without falling asleep, have goals in life, are a little bit nerdy/geeky (or a lot! the nerdier the better!), and think you might find me interesting. If we don't click, no harm, no foul, right?

I'm also all about talking to people from all over the world, particularly the UK/Ireland. I'm hoping to move to Ireland someday, even if just for grad school, so the more friends, the better!
