I consider myself a pretty laid back, easy going, fun seeking kinda gal.

Overall, I'm pretty high energy socially and physically. I made great grades in school - but because I was such the social butterfly - I had awful conduct grades.

In the last year, I have become pretty active at the gym and more recently running my butt off getting ready for a half marathon- and doing whatever I can do to keep busy.

I not a crazy sport junkie- however i am a Gator fan and love love love Cleveland teams- the Browns not so much. But the Indians (esp the 97 lineup) will always have a special place in my heart and as far as the Cavs-I own a Lebron James jersey.

I'm pretty liberal in anyway you can imagine. Most people would say I'm one of those "bleeding heart liberals" ...and I can certainly go on about it...I'll save the politics talk for later....

I am also more of that touchy feely type- so i may smack you to emphasize a point or hug it out.

I love working for a well known non-profit. Being able to work everyday for a mission you believe in and love is truly a gift.

I'm always finding an adventure, not sweating the small stuff, enjoying the little things- and going with the flow.. what else can you do...

multi tasking, trivial pursuit, making homemade soup, talking really fast, making anything funny, sarcasm, finding the silver linings

my big eyes and my energy... and at times the volume of my voice.

Books: funny ha ha books (sedaris, hornby, hiassen), giving tree, ishmael, the joy of cooking/sex, i have lots on the shelf i have to get thru...

Movies: I love 80s comedies (Uncle Buck, Money Pit) so bad they're good movies (especially any Ah-nold movie, They Live, Omega Man -gotta love the commentary), clueless, eternal sunshine, royal tennenbaums, the wackness. Sometime I'll get on a kick and watch documentaries (mostly on social issues) non-stop until i get depressed and have to stop.

They left out TV - and we must not over look Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Mad Men, Sex and the City and my nerd fave the West Wing.

Music: I usually dabble in the realm of the indie/alternative section (love NPRs all songs considered) but I love it ALL. (i.e. Wilco, Flaming Lips, Belle and Sebastian, Pulp, Bjork, TV on the Radio, The Arcade Fire, Bowie, Animal Collective, ELO, Abba, Phil, Rod and Lionel, old hip hop etc... etc... Bonnarroo music festival is my yearly summer venture. I love making people mix tapes (well, cds).

My top 3 karaoke tracks are as follows :
1. Superstar by The Carpenters
2. Careless Whispers by Wham
3. Island in the Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

Food- I'm a lover of breakfast foods, love thai and am a firm believer that curry goes good in anything. I eat popcorn just about every day- pretty sure I would take snacking over meals.

Mostly a healthy food fan- but am a total sucker for a vanilla milk shake and some crispy french fries (lots of ketchup!)

1. my ipod
2. stride gum
3. the internet
4. funny ha ha moments
5. food
6. family/friends

how to say things in spanish, the future (not as zen as i'd like), snacks, what every red blooded american women thinks of- which is the same as every red blooded american man.

i try to keep them not typical - but as of right now nothing too crazy. I am training for a half marathon so I am up early on Saturday morning - so I lay low.

But in non-training mode I will go where the action is- whether it is out and about or on my couch with netflix.

i think this site has asked quite enough of me, thank you.

you have a passion for something, open minded, fan of adventure, loves to laugh to the verge of almost peeing themselves, can be serious when necessary but must be able to get down and cheesey.... aaaaaand you didn't vote for McCain and George W. (sorry, i got some deal breakers...)
