I think it's interesting that 97.2% of all personal ads in the entire universe of online dating usually has something about not wanting to meet people at a bar or they're tired of the club scene.....yet here we all are....online. All of us. So apparently, 97.2 % of us can't get our $h!t together on Saturday night.... not that I'm complaining! I think we've all made bad calls 3-4 mojitos deep( cough::ME::cough) and I like the idea of meeting kick ass people that I would not have otherwise have the chance to meet. I'm also hoping that if we hang out and one of us isn't feeling "the spark l'amore" that we could still be psyched about making a new friend. Hell, even if only being friends is something that you're down for, turn that partners in crime application in!


about me:
I'm told I'm hilarious. I guess it depends who you ask. My sense of humor is sarcastic but friendly. I make fun of myself a lot because most things in life will either make you laugh or cry.... and I choose not to have puffy eyes in the morning.... (I'm half Asain, I can't afford that luxury;op).

I have two businesses and choose to work hard because I like living a nice lifestyle. I'm a slightly intense workaholic, driven and committed to my work. My main gig for the last six years has been doing hair, I love it! Making people feel and look amazing is a humble gift I am proud to have. I have worked my ass off to get where I am and I would expect the same kind of work ethic of anyone I spend time with.

I do enjoy my downtime, though. I have been blessed with amazing family and friends that have seen me through the best and the worst of times. I think you can tell alot about someone based on the people they surround themselves with. I would hope you are as thankful and protective of the loved ones in your life as I am. I love having everyone come over and veg out on the couch in front of the t.v. while I bust out some culinary magic (chicken parmesan paninis and rosemary garlic fries, anyone?!) I like to care and fuss over the people I love, so you have to be okay with that (and you have to reciprocate). I love going out too! BJ's or Rockbottom with the group or just us at a jazz bistro in the city = awesome!

I'm gonna throw it out there that I'm a combination of high and low maintenance. I like to dress well and look good. Its part of my job and what I'm comfortable with. I like expensive clothes that are edgy and put together. I'm not interested in someone who can't appreciate that or who looks like they rolled through the discount bin at TJ Maxx. I'm not sure how harsh that sounds but I'm putting it out there because I'm not interested in changing anyone. You need to come to me all shiny and sparkley in your own package, not the one someone else wants you to come in. That being said, I'm not obsessed (but I am careful) with how my body looks. I love AMAZING food and enjoy life. If I have to choose between a burrito or a being a cranky troll who nibbles on rabbit food: I WILL choose extra sour cream. Of course, it will probably be low fat and I'll attack the treadmill for an hour after.... I guess I'm saying:I may not have a stomach so hard you can do your laundry on it, but I CAN fill out a pair of jeans and a tank top like no one's business. And really, what do you really wanna snuggle with at night: a Maytag or curvy velvety softness? ;o)

about you:
You absolutely have to be funny. If we can't laugh and be silly together and all we hear is crickets...that's gonna be awkward... I really like a guy who can appreciate and maybe even enable my sense of humor without crossing the line of respect if I get a little raunchy( that's a tricky one, I know).

Okay, this is going to sound terrible but I like guys who are smarter than me. I'm not saying I'm shortbus but rather, I like being intellectually challenged by someone who always has something to talk about. Also, the only times it is EVER okay to use vocab such as "holla" or "hey ma" is if you're speaking in jest. (I'm totally turned off by a grown ass man who can't spell or at the very least use spell check).

I am kinda tall for a girl and I do love a sexy pair of heels, so I'm usually attracted to guys 5'10" or taller. I won't lie; big shoulders and arms are pretty hot but honestly, if the chemistry is there, its there. I'm not gonna get too specific about body type except I don't do well with skinny. While piercings don't really do it for me, I think ink is pretty cool. (I'm working on designing my first piece).

I think it would be so damn awesome to meet someone who knew how to properly wrangle a firecracker like myself. I am sweet but I'm definitely sassy so I need someone who can be emotionally structured enough to put his foot down when I'm outline and need to be checked but also can be humble enough to admit when he is wrong. I think its awesome when someone can be solid in their opinions but flexible when another view is shared. Its also really important to me that anyone I spend time with is relatively liberal, non judgmental and accepting of all lifestyles, religious or alternative.

Honesty and integrity are everything to me. I take my character and morals very seriously. I don't have time to waste on anyone not of the same caliber. Besides, I'm a TERRIBLE liar.

what's on the agenda:
I definitely like to try new things. Dinner, live music and movies are great but what would be awesome is you teaching me how to surf/snowboard or taking me to a shooting range (although I'm an absolutely terrible shot, so if you're planning on robbing my house, all systems go). I'm not much of a hiker but I'm willing to try, I do love nature. White water rafting sounds like it would be an awesome adventure as well as zip lining. I also LOVE roller coasters, aquariums and I'd like to try wine tasting.

I hope you like vegging at home as much as I do. "Sons of Anarchy" is my favorite show, high five if you watch it too. I can't really tell you who's who but my roommate is getting me in to the whole UFC thing. I just got back from Vegas to watch the UFC 100, and I love having big groups of friends over to watch a fight while I cook. I admit I have a sick addiction to reality tv than I'm not looking to break. The trashier the show, the better. Viva vh1! I also set my DVR to record every possible episode on NCIS, House, Law & Order and all CSI shows, so I hope you like all those shows or have incredible amounts of patience. well, either way.... I'm kind of a handful, so you'll DEFINITELY need patience;o)

I think starting off at Starbucks or a pub would be best... if we click, maybe we can move on to dinner or a comedy show... then you can really gauge someone's sense of humor and I just think there is something really intimate about sharing an experience that makes you laugh so hard you can't breath.
