fun for me is going out and enjoying chicago. whether that's by myself or with my friends, there is always something kick-ass to do. some things i've done recently include - watching the nike 6.0 bmx competition in grant park, drinks and dinner at my neighborhood bar, grilling some steaks out on my back porch with some friends, going to see the windy city rollers (women's roller derby) at the UIC, watching the confederation cup soccer tourney at home, and hitting up a few farmers' markets.

my goal in life is to enjoy the two things that mean most to me - family and friends.

i'm never shy to tell you what i'm thinking. open and honest communication is the way to go in my opinion. and to that end, i enjoy listening to what you have to say.

i hit up rothbury, pitchfork, and lollapalooza this year. hopefully, you were at one of those as well.

a first date.

i'd go with a saturday afternoon meetup. something outside if the weather permits. walk around down by the lake. then stop and get a beverage and enjoy the sun. and if we are both feeling it, then you know we have to do dinner somewhere.

next thing you know it's been 7 hours and i can't believe how cute you look when you smile.

something like that.
