Variety is the spice of life and I love to indulge! I have a wide variety of interests and will try almost anything at least once. I love photography and travelling to new places- the more adventure there is, the better! I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree with a psych/soc major. The eventual goal is to be either a Social or Forensic Psychologist within the next 4-6 years. (I am absolutely fascinated by both and am sooo torn!) I recently graduated with High Honors from community college and am now attending an Illinois University. I love and live my education and find educated people extremely attractive.

To be honest, my life is wonderful. I have a brilliant future ahead of me and tremendous people in my life. I don't need a man in my life. However, just because I don't need a man, doesn't mean I don't want a man in my life. I listed that I am looking for friends, simply because I am in no rush to jump into a serious relationship. I am open to a relationship that has the potential to turn into long-term, but it has to start out light and fun after a nice foundation of getting to know one another a little bit is set. I was divorced once- don't feel like doing that again. Next time, it's for keeps. In the mean time, I'm gonna have so much fun, enjoying life and making great friends and having fabulous experiences along the way.

I am a very caring person who loves with passion and is fiercely loyal. I am very imaginitive, spontaneous and creative. I love to laugh and can find the humor in just about anything. I believe in being positive and surround myself with happy people. A good friend recently told me that if anyone can find a silver lining in a dark cloud, it is me. Are you my silver lining in the lonely cloud?

BTW... the girls in the photos are my very lovely nieces. (I only have one child who is not in the pix.)

Great food is a must on a first date! If you have great food, conversation just naturally flows. I have no specific, set-in-stone ideal first date. It should just be a relaxed atmosphere and include music. No expectations, just come what may.
