I am fun, insightful, and happy.
My Self-Summary
I would describe myself as being an easygoing girl who likes to
have fun. I grew up in Colorado and recently moved to Chicago. My
favorite things to spend my paychecks on are vacations. I have the
urge to travel everywhere, and make it to as many places as
possible. I love to cook, read, celebrate, watch movies, hike,
snowboard, play tennis, and hang out with friends and family. I
love game nights, dinner parties, or going out to get a few
(sometimes more!) drinks. Other hobbies: I do fantasy football with
some friends and I started a book club that meets at a bar every
week.
What I’m doing with my life
Teaching elementary school!
I’m really good at
Baking, cooking, snowboarding, laughing, loving, opening wine
bottles, teaching, learning, reading.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm very calm and down to earth. As far as physical details,
maybe my smile?
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books- Anything by Malcolm Gladwell, Haruki Murakami, John Irving,
Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut, Johnothan Kozol, or Mark Haddon. I
just read the Twilight series and understand why so many people
love it. Flowers for Algernon and Farewell to Arms have been
longtime favorites. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell is a new
favorite.
Movies- Wedding Crashers, The Full Monty, Knocked Up, 40 year old
virgin, the Hangover, Dances with Wolves, Love Actually, Memento,
The Sex and the City Movie, Fight Club, Frequency, The Holiday,
Rain Man, and more.
Music- Well I am not very picky on music. I have been obsessed with
Tom Petty for as long as I remember. I like listening to live
music, whatever it is! I'm not too big on country.
Food- I like most types of food. Italian, American, Indian, Thai,
Chinese, Mexican, but my favorite is probably sushi.
The six things I could never do without
Friends, wine, sushi, memories, books, love
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My future. I love planning real vacations and fantasizing about
dream ones. I think about books I've read, theories I've heard of,
and intriguing things people have said.
On a typical Friday night I am
With friends. Maybe at a BBQ, dinner party, game night, or out at
the neighborhood bars.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'll think about it.
