Hi -- my name's Sarah, and my profile is a bit of a braindump so try to ignore the lack of organization. I'm independent; a bit of an introvert; sometime shopaholic; and have a small, close group of friends as opposed to tons of acquaintances. I like to travel but don't do it often enough. I live alone with one cat. I'm very confident at work and enjoy being a specialist/subject matter expert/"go-to" person. I am drama-averse; many of my close friends are guys - I think guys are more low-drama than girls. I love to read and I watch too much TV; weekends tend to include casual get togethers with friends over drinks, dinner, or movies; I'm not a club-goer. I'm a proud aunt but not interested in kids of my own -- I think that gets back to wanting to be independent. I battle my treadmill off and on, trying to get back "on" right now.
I live in town but work in the 'burbs.

Right now, I'm satisfied with my life but trying to put a little joy back into it -- reconnecting with old friends, making time for past forgotten pursuits (books and art to name a couple), and travelling.

staying even-keeled in the face of disaster/drama. Came in really helpful during Ike! I like to consider myself a balanced person overall.

height probably - I'm 5'10" but love heels.

Music: I guess "indie" would be the word; Wilco is my favorite band, and outside of that I'm usually rotating what I hear on XMU -- right now, that includes White Rabbits, Okkervil River, Stella Starr, and The Bravery, among others. Spoon is another favorite.
Books: I love running through mystery series for enjoyable, fast reads - currently going through the Ian Rankin novels. My favorite book is The Time Traveller's Wife; I'm liable to get my ideas from what's new at Borders.
TV: 30 Rock, Glee, Deadliest Catch.
Movies: around Halloween, I like to watch scary movies -- with friends, never alone! I get sucked into putting "weighty" films on my Netflix queue that I never seem to watch, but really love movies like Old School or Talladega Nights.
Food: Just about anything - particularly partial to Hispanic, Chinese, Thai, Italian, American....

A/C, caffeine, internet, chocolate, a steady supply of books, and fun stories from my nieces/nephews.

what's next for my career. My job is mostly satisfying and I can't complain, but "no complaints" isn't exactly the best reason to stay where I am. I think.

recovering from the workweek at home and planning to get together with friends on Saturday - nothing super exciting. I feel old now.

I secretly want to be "crafty" (Martha-Stewart-style), but I rarely make anything that I really want to keep around.
