I am a self-motivated girl with a healthy dose of ambition, a strong independent streak, and a creative and fun side. I'm a city girl at heart -- I love being immersed in a crowd of people, and the buzz of shops and restaurants and street activity. I am a cat person (sorry, dog lovers); love my digital camera, the arts, and dance; don't follow sports (except the Olympic games); avoid bars (but enjoy a night out dancing); and run every morning to stay in shape. I love dining out (especially spicy foods), prefer tea to coffee, and am undecided between chocolate and vanilla. :)

I like people who are confident but not arrogant. Someone with a good head on her shoulders and both feed on the ground, but an off-beat sense of humor. Someone who can make herself at home in a group of strangers. Someone who is open to new ideas, always seeking to improve her mind, and who has a career versus a job. Someone who is happy either with getting dolled up for a evening out or curling up in cute PJs to watch a movie with popcorn and pizza. Someone who can engage in a good debate (and beat me!) without making it personal. I'm not a high-maintenance girlie-girl, but I'm definitely feminine. I enjoy make-up, the perfect pair of jeans, and pointy shoes. I am attracted to other feminine women.

I've been in Boston for a few years, but my minimal attempts at dating were cut short by a killer graduate school schedule. Now that I've graduated, I'm looking forward to jumping back into things.

A walk through the Public Garden or some other lovely, green, and flowery place.
