I like: window seats, getting packages in the mail, flavored water, chocolate ice cream with fudge and nuts, hot sauce...anything spicy actually, ketchup on eggs, lambrusco, iced chai tea lattes, laughing at my own jokes, having seven brothers and sisters, traveling to new places, reading, text messaging, learning for the sake of learning, mozzarella sticks, flipflops, jeans, yogurt, mac n cheese, people watching, vocabulary words, proper grammar but not capitalization, snow cones, jalapeno poppers, reese's, unique people, pubs, pineapple, jalapeno, and pepperoni pizza with ranch, buffalo style pizza rolls, hearing french and german being spoken, and pillowtop mattresses.

I don't like: loudmouthed people, freckles, misspellings, people that can't use your/you're and there/their properly, celebrities, lady gaga, ignorance, fat people , people without social tact, turkey, black olives, mushrooms, secondhand smoke, spinach, north jersey, and sci fi movies.

I am: a good test taker, loyal, honest, witty, a fan of sleeping, overanalytical, a texan, a smartass, easily amused, athletic, driven, intelligent, left handed, goofy, mostly organized, efficient, focused, a mavericks and cowboys fan, up for a challenge.

I am not: complacent, capable of functioning with fewer than 8 hours of sleep, hunting or guns, quick to accept things, a fan of heights, a good swimmer, or fond of boots.

I have never: gotten a ticket, been bungee jumping, gone white water rafting, done drugs, done a backflip.

I have: jumped out of a plane, been to the DMZ, drunk everclear mixed with listerine, attended private schools all my life, been on vacation to a dude ranch, a dry sense of humor.

I am looking for: a woman that's ambitious and goal-oriented, challenges me, is socially intelligent, is optimistic, puts up with my ridiculousness, enjoys travel and other cultures, works hard when necessary, intelligent, shares an interest in finance or investing, can hold a conversation, has a passion, a smartass, laughs at herself, outgoing.

Other random bits:

I believe that the majority of good things happen to people to people that work for it, but luck and timing are equally as important as skill.

I believe that some people are given more natural talent than others, but motivation is a great equalizer.

I work hard when it's necessary. I want to be my own boss and determine when I do and don't work. Most of the time that would be not working. I'd rather spent my time traveling and doing things I enjoy.

Graduated in 2008 from West Point. I do finance. I think I spend more time trying to find work to do than actually doing work.

I plan on retiring from real work by the time I'm 30. From that point on, I will only work for fun.

I don't use cookbooks. When I cook, I like to wing it.

I'm going to travel one day to the northernmost landmass in the world and also to the South Pole. I'm going to run with the bulls in Pamplona and climb Mt. Everest

I will return to New York City for at least a few more years. I hate the city and I love it at the same time.

Troubleshooting other people's love lives and problems, being random, thinking critically, making decisions, speaking off the top of my head, organizing, planning things, playing along with jeopardy, mathematics, running, skiing, computers, making fun of people, making friends, making moments awkward, forgetting people's names, remembering directions, being cheesy, remembering things (i have a photographic memory), talking about nothing, and reciting useless facts.

I'm not good at: singing, drawing, writing, speaking Spanish.
