I'm supposed to summarize myself on a website? Hmmmm... Did anyone else have trouble with this? I would prefer brevity, but I am not being given that option so here is a run down of stuff about me that you may or may not find interesting:

Born in Miami, Florida.
I was a horrible student K-12.
I was an English Literature major in college.
I lived in Bosnia for 3 years.
I joined the Army (yes, I lived in Bosnia and *then* joined the Army).

Ok, I am already bored with this! I can rattle off my life experiences to date, but that would not really tell you about *me*. I understand that the point is to put so much stuff out there that we can't help but find some shred of common ground. Instead, would it be so bad just to message me to see if we have something in common, like a love of American football (I love it)?

At this point, if you are suspicious that I am just writing to take up space, you've got me. Let me stop now and see if they are going to make me write more.

I'm doing what I want. Not what makes sense. Not what is safe. Not even what makes the big bucks. Been there and done all that. Now I am doing what I want.

...knowing when writing something on a website would be smart and when it wouldn't.

...is not as important as the first thing *you* would notice about me...whatever that is.

I know people put a lot of stock in matching "favorites", but I am very eclectic so anything I put here would be more of a reflection of what I was thinking when I wrote this and not a real peek into what I enjoy and what matters to me.

1. A reason to get out of bed in the morning... enough said.

life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

at services. Hahahaha. No, seriously, I try to get out and do *something*. I am very open about what "something" is. I am not a homebody. Don't get me wrong, I like to just cuddle on the sofa sometimes, but if that's all you ever want to do, I'm not your gal.

I posted my real picture. I'm not sure how to express this...I'm an open book interpersonally, but to the mass faceless public, not so much. I guess I like to know who I'm communicating with.

...you are patient. I don't check this site everyday. However, if you send me a note that displays even the slightest indication that you have really read my profile, I will likely respond. Eventually.
