I have been strongly advised by several people to begin my profile with the following forewarning: "I have a FIANCE!! :-) (And yes, we met on this site!)... I am here because I have a passion for stupid online quizzes." I thought this was clear by the 'Seeing Someone' status... I was mistaken. I do hope this allays any confusion.

I'm a second year graduate student at Loyola College in Maryland working toward my masters degree in counseling psychology. I'm spontaneous, adventurous, and will try anything at least once (and will most likely force you to do the same). I have an unhealthy obsession with being healthy. I am addicted to running - I usually run about 5 miles a day, and would run more were it not for my intense fear of permanently damaging my shins. I'm a compassionate optimist who intends to dedicate her life to helping others... Thankfully I balance out all of that "caring about people" crap with a terribly dry, sarcastic sense of humor. I love city life, and couldn't imagine living anywhere but Baltimore (at least for now). I am quite possibly the biggest Ravens fan you will ever meet... Yes, I have heard there is a pill to cure that - I'm not interested. I also love horror movies - the lamer the better.

...And judging from this personal statement, I apparently dislike using complete sentences.

Basically, I'm your average guy's girl: I follow football as though it were a personal religion; will take a Jack on the rocks over some fruity mixed drink any day; have an inappropriate sense of humor and cannot be offended by anything (go ahead, try me); and have a tendency to be a hard-headed, stubborn ass.... Oh, and I hate chick flicks.

Oddly enough, my "Personality Awards" provide a better description of myself than anything I could ever compose. Well, maybe not the "More Friendly" part... but everything else is dead on.

Please don't send me messages about how you think I'm "hott". Chances are you are not, and I will not answer.

Currently pursuing my M.S. degree in counseling psychology, with the intention of becoming a licensed LCPC therapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. I work as a mental health worker at a major psychiatric hospital with adult trauma survivors, and I work (for free) at a domestic violence shelter providing individual and group counseling to survivors of domestic violence. Not exactly the most uplifting work, but I love what I do.

Finding the humor in every situation. Unfortunately, this can often be rather problematic. Apparently some people don't think making jokes about things like the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal is appropriate. Go figure...

I am a stickler for spelling and grammar (which some would argue to be a flaw rather than a talent). If you use the wrong form of too/to or you're/your, I will be the first to point out the error of your ways.

I'm also rather good at not taking myself (or life) too seriously, as you may or may not have noticed.

I'm not sure. Maybe that I walk with some horrendously unattractive limp, or that my face looks like I'm constipated when I'm running. Most likely they just can't help but notice how ridiculously awesome I am.

A. 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, Sense and Sensibility, Lolita, and most anything by Shakespeare or Edgar Allen Poe. Oh, and trauma therapy treatment manuals, because I'm a bit of a nerd.

B. Donnie Darko, Office Space, Role Models, Religulous, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Silence of the Lambs, The Exorcist, and any cheesy horror movie ever made.... Honestly, I'm usually game for anything that isn't a chick flick (within reason, of course).

C. Green Day, The Clash, Nirvana, Billy Joel, Elton John, Incubus, Disturbed (I have a passion for lame pop-metal), Sublime, Weezer, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Clapton, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, The White Stripes, Rage Against the Machine, AFI, The Offspring, Cake, The Ramones, Pearl Jam

D. I'm a vegetarian, so basically anything sans meat. I do eat a lot of fish and seafood though (I have my reasons, and they extend beyond my addiction to sushi).

E. TV Shows: House, Family Guy, Arrested Development, South Park, The Office, The Simpsons, Dexter, Six Feet Under, SportsCenter

1. People that appreciate sarcasm.

2. Trident whitening gum. I tend to go through multiple packs a day... Hey, don't look at me like that. I don't have a problem. I can quit whenever I want.

3. Music... It's kind of my thing, despite not having an ounce of musical talent myself. I especially love going to live shows and concerts (if you have ever been to and/or at least heard of Bonnaroo, this is a major plus).

4. Chapstick. Preferably cherry flavor, but I can compromise if necessary.

5. Quality running shoes, a treadmill, and my iPod (I suppose that counts as three things. I'm not good at this game.)

6. A nice pair of slacks.

Clowns. To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

Engaged in some activity involving Jack Daniels and social interaction.... or just bumming around my house in pajamas watching movies and eating sushi. What can I say, I'm easy to please.

I have an account on OKcupid.com... don't tell anyone.

You're a fat, bald, married guy with 3 kids and are over 50. I know your marriage is in a difficult place now, but I'm ready to listen.

...Or, you know, if you think we would get along. That's a valid reason too.
