I am an extremely independent woman. I do a lot of my own; I make things happen! I am completely self sufficient and capable of having a really deep relationship with someone, mentally and physically. I've been essentially 'single' for 7 years...I am looking for someone who can handle a powerful woman...and let me be that way...all while actually courting me...if anyone knows what that actually is nowadays. I find it so rare for someone to want to be the man in the relationship, because they are intimidated by a driven woman.

I have a lot of goals in life... I've been laid off twice...so I am currently opening up my own business, starting my modeling career, trying to have fun and taking every day, one at a time.

I'm looking for a best friend, a companion...that likes to do things and has no standards for fun....

I grew up in the SW burbs of Chicago. I swam all through high school and college - where I got a degree in Broadcast journalism...and minored in French. Following college, I flocked to France and lived there for awhile. I've traveled extensively and find it quite addicting.

I have a summer cottage in Canada - been going there for my entire life - I"m quite the outdoorsy girl...I plan on dying there.

My alternative ego is a rock star. I absolutely love live music...rock n'roll... and AC/DC.

I love kids, but can wait about 10 years to have them...I love sushi...I'm a terrible singer...Dance movies are awesome...I'm a professional Guitar Hero player...I do play the flute, not at bandcamp though...I can cook, but I hate doing it, but I am a GREAT hostess...Wine is amazing...Thundercats is the best cartoon...Summerfest is so much better than The Taste of Chicago...I cry when I'm angry...I rarely ever write someone off...I believe everyone deserves a second chance, not a third...I really appreciate art...I have a goal book...I hate cats...I love water skiing/wake boarding...I suck at snow skiing and snowboarding...I am an Aries through and through...I am the oldest of 3...I'm a great writer...

I get hurt a lot...but I put myself out there. Sometimes I can ramble ;)

We all have peeves, so I"m going to list mine.

I'm a weirdo about teeth, skin and height...and basically overall hygiene. I take great care of myself, my things and those I love. I live in quite an organized and clean apartment. I range around 5'11 when I wear heels, which is quite often.

If you are a racist in anyway shape or form, check ya later.

If you have anything but empty baggage...

If you live with your mother...tell her I said hi...

If you don't have an actual photo, of your face!

If you copy and paste an email...

If you don't like stand up comedy...

If you can't handle a 'creative'...

If you can't handle your liquor...

If you have a D-bag card...

If you don't love the outdoors...

If you litter...

If you are afraid of confrontation - good or bad...


I am truly a good, trustworthy and nice person. I am confident in who I am and I know what I stand for. I love to have fun and I constantly surround myself with friends!

A quarter date - I"ll explain.
