It's about time I re-vamp this thing to make it more man-appealing.

My ideal date? Cold beer at an afternoon baseball game. Or getting dressed up for a nice dinner and following it up with laser tag. Or playing darts at a dive bar (I have a pretty bomb set of darts - be forewarned) and a midnight walk at the river.

I'm a bit of a nomad; I moved here in January from Los Angeles without knowing a single person. I'm not from LA, it was just a stop along the way.

I'm a gym rat and bartender, freelance writer and die hard Cubs fan. I'm a huge country music fan - both old and new. I bake more than a cook, but I love both. I'm very politically aware and involved and I love to travel. I love live music and I'm pretty health-concious. I'm always reading something interesting and I will always dominate you at Halo 4 on xbox live. guarantee.

My Shih Tzu is named Sam. We take care of each other.

I tend to date older guys. I like men who have their shit together.

I have a fantastic promotions job at a major record label and bartend occasionally on the weekend. I love it.

tap dancing, yahtzee, historical trivia, and drinking whiskey.

Everything is replaceable but my man Sam.
