Quickly, here's a few things. I grew up in the middle of the country in southern Indiana far away from any town, city, or village. I went to Indiana University to seek a degree in Psychology, I aslo have a minor in literature.

After I graduated I came to Chicago to work as a vegan chef. I was lucky to land a great position that provided me with a lot of great experiences.

I should probably write why I came to Chicago over other cities. I really enjoy the cultural events, music, theater, and museums that Chicago has to offer. And, although it maybe bitterly cold in the winter at times, it's still the only place I would like to be

At the moment I work as a Rehab Coordinator, so I counsel in one-on-one and group sessions Schizophrenics and people with Bi-Polar conditions. This job is extremely stressful and demands a great deal from me. It's a job that's very hard to just, "leave at the office." But, that being said I do my best to seperate the two.

Really Good? Cooking, writing, listening, conversations, board games, Mario Kart. Also, with cooking I'm really good at grabbing ingredients in my hands and knowing exactly how much I have-this comes from hours and hours of cooking.

If people see me on the street they say I seem deep in thought. I usually go for walks and think about story ideas or things like that. Also, when I am deep in thought I seem to look angry, which isn't the case, but that's the way it is.

Some of my favorite books include: Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse, Catch-22, Dandelion Wine, Messiah, Naked, The Divine Comedy, Picture of Dorian Grey, Scartissue, They cage the animals at Night, and Life of Pi

I also focused on children's literature in college so some of those favs are: A Series of Unfortunate Events, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.

I also love poetry and Allen Ginsberg and the beat movement. Percy Shelley, Rudyard Kipling, Billy Collins, the list goes on. I also am a fan of Poe. I know everyone's a fan of Poe, but still.

I'm also a fan of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Aurther Miller

I love music, as well. I love all types of music. If it comes down to it I like 90's rock the most, so bands like Nirvans and Pearl Jam. I also like classic rock like The Band or Bob Dylan. I also like conscious rap and hip hop. A list of some more of my favs are: Artic Monkeys, Third Eye Blind, XTC, Jeff Buckley, Cat Power, Beirut, T-Rex, Fleet Foxes, Blind Pilot, Aphex Twin, Van Morrison, James Taylor, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Atmosphere, Bill Fay, The Black Keys, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Bob Marley, Blondie, The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The kinks, The Decemberists, Depeche Mode, Ben Folds, Peter Bjorn and John, The Flaming Lips, The Gypsy Kings, The Dead, Phish, Johnny Cash, Joy Division, Pixies, The Killers, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, The Smiths, Sigur Ros, William Elliott Whitmore, Keb' Mo', Guy Davis, Kelly Joe Phelps, and Sublime.......

About Food. Like I mentioned I'm a raw vegan cook, so through that I eat a lot of that specific style. I like all sorts of foods and will try anything once. I love Thai and Columbian food, as well as the usuals.

Are Pen and Paper, sunsets, clouds, a few close people, and cold autumn nights

Stories. Ideas. Inventions. Trees. Plants. Animals. Clouds. Career Choices. Food. Books.

I work on Friday nights and usually get home at about 12:30 a.m. So, unless there is something that I can't miss happening I usually like to relax and unwind, probably watch a movie

I once won a dance contest. It was actually more of a dance-off since it was a one-on-one challenge, but in the end I was victorious.

If you live near or about Wicker Park or Bucktown. Or like to cook, because I do. Or are a vegetarian. Or you really like books, poetry, creative writing. Or you like board games.

I would also like to meet someone who enjoys museums and other cultural things.

You must also have conversational skills.
