For me - it's been a rough road. I was born out East, moved down South, then moved up North and have had a wide variety of experiences - good and bad.

Right now, I am mostly lookin for new friends. It's been so long since I have had a group of friends that weren't my "other half's" ;) Just figuring out my future and people to support and will support me :)

I have almost always been a fairly shy person, but thanks to the great friends I have, I have really started coming out of my shell and being more bold. I am not afraid to say what's on my mind - but I try to put it positively and avoid confrontation. I am a fun-loving, flirty, and "snuggly" type of person. I am a firm believer in a quote from my favorite book series by Karen Moning, "for the next few minutes we indulged in the light banter of a male n female that find each other attractive and enjoy the timeless ritual of flirtation. Not everyone does and frankly, I think it's a lost art form. Flirtation doesn't have to go somewhere; it certainly doesn't NEED to end up in bed. I like to think of it as a little friendlier than a handshake but a little less intimate than a kiss. It's a way of saying 'hi, u look great, have a wonderful day.' a tasteful flirtation played out by people who understand the rules, leaves everyone feeling good and can perk up the bluest mood!"

I am pretty down to Earth- I feel I have a good balance of fun n seriousness with a little silly thrown in...

I am body conscious, but am learning to appreciate myself..Im not a big girl but you definitely won't feel like you could break me if you were to hug me :)

I am a crafty person that loves to create things... My resume of crafty hobbies is to extensive to type on here so just ask :) I have actually recently started a hobby based business, my work can be seen at www.facebook.com/CraftyPixieCreations

I love to snowboard - I suck but I love it... I'm not really big on outdoors stuff because of allergies but I enjoy going for walks and spending time enjoying nature;)

Well dating cites aren't generally my mode of meeting people, but I used to work a long week (45-60 hrs) and have a small network of CLOSE friends and socializing still hasn't regularly reach past that.

I have been working my way through college, studying business with a focus in accounting - My goal is to potentially own my own family entertainment center (arcade n other fun), but I am still feeling around for my specialty and "niche" in this tough economy.

In the mean time, I have gained experience working as a Training and Compliance Manager for seven Subway locations in Southwest Michigan area. I am good at my job, but am -as many - not too crazy about upper management.

Since I have been on medical leave from an auto accident, i have lost my position and have been considering other careers to better myself ...No matter what, I want to continue my education; as I love to learn as much as I can about my interests and other things I am involved in :)

My parents have four dogs - I don't mind them but my allergies do. My favorite standard pets are cats. I actually have three adorable ferrets that top cat or dog for me.

I am a "Jane of most trades" - I try many different things and am not afraid to get my hands dirty to get things done and have some fun. I am especially good at crafty projects (sewing, crocheting, minor drawing, painting, etc). I am gaining skills in juggling - life...haha....and I am a good friend.

Usually the first things people notice about me include my bubbly personality, my smile, and my kind and positive demeanor.

I love the "Fever" series by Karen Moning, but otherwise don't have much time to read - enjoy a good book, but time can create some roadblocks.

I enjoy drama TV shows and movies - Once upon a Time, Lost Girl, NCIS, Royal Pains, Charmed, Big Bang Theory, Criminal Minds, CSI (Vegas is my Fav), Eureka, and love movies - almost anything but horror and excessive suspense.

I enjoy nearly any music - generally not rap or religious, mostly pop, rock, alternative, and country (in small doses). I don't pay much attention to artists and titles - WAY too much drama and publicity stunts - if i listen and like, that's all there is to it :)

I am not really picky about the types of food I eat, but some things don't settle well at times, I am allergic to Mushrooms, and am picky about textures - good news is I am fairly good at anticipating problems and troubleshooting to enjoy nearly anything.

I enjoy games but am not good at too many video games; I stick to the same few and get really good at those. I mostly play Tales of Destiny 2 and the Overlord series. I am not afraid to try other games but sometimes feel like a frustrated 5 yr old playing a teen game...lol... I love many of the games on my iPhone and a few simple computer games.

My nephew (7yr old), most of the rest of my family and friends, I would be lost with out my iPhone (unfortunately), my car (2008 Jeep Compass), and.....I guess a paper and pen to doodle and plot with, and maybe my laptop.

Lately: Facebook has been my outlet *shrugging guiltily*

I spend a lot of time contemplating my relationships with my friends, family and myself to make sure they are healthy for me. I also spend quite some time thinking about my ambitions and my path to achieve them.

I am generally hanging out with my friends and looking forward to a much needed Saturday off!

I a act like a 5 year old sometimes, especially when I'm excited or nervous - or drunk...lol - having a great time comes few in between so sometimes I overdo the excitement :)

I Don't want to talk to players or people with a lack of respect for themselves or others...too many bad experiences...but if you're not mean, rude, impolite, looking for a "hook up" or other versions of "hit" and want to spend time getting to know an ambitious, friendly, awesome person :) Message me !
