I am easily amused, intelligent, and pretty cute.
My Self-Summary
I'm a low key gal who enjoys the company of people who like to have
fun and can find that fun in whatever they are doing. I need to
have people in my life who can challenge me and show me new things.
Because of this, I have a very diverse group of people that I
consider friends and I like spending a lot of time with them.
I really love the ocean and boating in the summer... I also enjoy a
good campfire and like to get the fire pit going on cool fall
nights. This leads me to my winter interests: I'm into beer and
like to try new ones. I'm particularly into IPAs and pale ales...
but I also drink miller lite like a champ, a beer snob I am not.
Sometimes I try and find new winter pass times, but turns out I am
not a big fan of the cold.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently working in higher ed administration, but am looking
for a new job in the public health field (know anyone who wants to
hire me?).
I spend time with my friends and family whenever possible.
I love to cook when I have the time. I like the whole process:
picking a recipe, shopping for the ingredients, making the dish,
and then, of course, eating it. I especially like to cook for big
groups of people and make hugely ambitious menus when the holidays
roll around.
I have been relishing in all sorts of fall activities-- apple
picking, the Topsfield fair, exploring outdoors, pumpkin carving,
but am definitely looking forward to packing more in before the
snow is upon us.
I have a serious love affair with dive bars. Speaking of which...
you know the computer game at dive bars with the two naked ladies
and you have to find the differences? Not to toot my own horn, but
I'm pretty awesome at it.
I’m really good at
-making the best of less than ideal situations
-memorizing things and taking tests
-eating ice cream and not getting a cold headache
-diffusing crappy moods in my friends and family
-being patient
-cleaning my house thoroughly
-finding stupid humor absolutely hilarious
-being extremely polite
-making fantastic coffee and espresso beverages... Holler at your
barista.
The first things people usually notice about me
Looks wise probably my eyes and/or smile.
I'm approachable and friendly, but can be highly sarcastic, so
watch yo' self because I can be offensive.

particularly fond of hip hop and R&B/Soul.

however, enjoy watermelon or olives.
The six things I could never do without
Human interaction
Sunshine
My bed

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why "your face" is the greatest insult/comeback of all time. Do not
be surprised if, at some point, I challenge your countenance.
I spend a lot of time thinking about why most people aren't nicer
and more tolerant toward each other. I like to be polite,
thoughtful, and open and I like the company I keep to have the same
inclination.
On a typical Friday night I am
Getting into some shenanigans as soon as work is done. This could
include, but shall never be limited to: getting some classy
after-work dinner and drinks, cooking for friends and drinking
wine, or hitting up a fantastic Somerville or North Shore area
shady bar.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, ok? Whatever, leave me
alone.
I also think sushi and The Office are overrated.
