I’m a cool, calm, and collected young female with an affinity for all things funny. Fiercely independent. Focused. A wiseass with the best intentions. An athlete (in a washed up basketball player kind of way). A realistic optimist and optimistic realist. I like to make fun of myself and encourage others to do the same. I also like to make fun of you. I can't stand drama or negativity and I love kids and cute old couples who hold hands.

What I'm looking for through this whole online dating adventure is pretty simple... A new best friend with whom I have ridiculous sexual tension. See? Simple!! Now why is it so damn complicated to find him? Reveal yo'self!

When I'm not fronting as a charasmatic business woman destined for obnoxious wealth, I'm playing basketball or touch football with friends, exploring NYC, sweating it out at the gym, expanding my exorbitant shoe collection or hanging with my parents who, as it turns out, are the coolest people on the planet.

that Dave & Buster's mini basketball game. I'll own you.

Telling it like it is. Both a gift and a curse.

PowerPoint. I make badass presentations and I'm not afraid to use them.

And making babies smile. Not hard I know. Nevertheless I excel.

My height. And apparently my ability to make strangers feel so instantly comfortable that they share completely inane or inappropriate life details with me. Someone make it stop!

READ: The Color of Water, The Power of One, Tuesdays with Morrie, To Kill a Mockingbird and the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo series are a few of my top picks
WATCH: Cheesy feel good sports flicks and mind blowing documentaries.
LISTEN: Quality R&B, preferably from the early 90's.
EAT: Pizza = God's gift to us.

how the hell we elected George W. Bush. TWICE.

on the couch watching a good movie or a good game. Probably falling asleep half way thru. Oh.. wait... was I supposed to tell you I'm out socializing with the masses or dancing my little tookus off? Oops.

When I was a kid I was a porker. True story.

You're highly respectable and equally respectful. You love to laugh, you appreciate a corny joke, and you're down for some sarcastic sparring. You know how to balance confidence and humility. You're done with the dating games and you're looking for something real. You love yo' mama and spoil her rotten. You're proactively ambitious. You value the power of the ‘little things’. You don't settle. You believe chivalry is still kicking. You appreciate a good workout and take care of your body. You plan for your future but can live in the moment. You speak your mind and your heart. You are what you say you are and you do what you say you'll do. And you're a Yankee season ticket holder ;)
