I am a mix of contradictions. I can be very analytical, but I do have my softer side. I'm nice, but I've got some edge. I've been known to say some outrageously brash things, but I will also listen patiently. For dating, I am looking for an equal - a kind and considerate one - who can challenge me and be challenged. I like to tease people and make them laugh, and I always give as good as I get ;)

Family and friends are important to me. I am close to my parents and cousins, nieces, nephews, etc. I pride myself on being the "cool" aunt to my nieces and nephews, and I am always there for my friends. Now I am looking for a special someone, but new friends and activity partners would be great, too!

I studied physics and engineering in school, so I am a science-y, engineering-y type. Having said that, I am still something of a technophobe (still no iphone... no ipod even)!

I do like to dress up and go out, though my best nights involve more dancing than drinking. I've been known to frequent dive bars for the music and atmosphere and classier places for the quality of the cocktails... :)

I like to travel. A few years ago I took some time off to travel around India for three months. Before that, I was lucky enough to get to some interesting places: Israel, Guatemala, Italy, France, New Zealand, Jordan, Puerto Rico. I am going to Goa for New Year's and am looking for some company!

I have been working in a boutique environmental consulting firm for about 2 years.

I wish there were easter egg hunts for adults...
