I enjoy going out with friends and meeting new people, hanging out with my family, going to sporting events and concerts, traveling, and all things Forest Park. I'm a huge fan of vacation and think everyone should go on at least four per year. I just got back from Florida on 7/27/09 and am already planning my next trip. I like kayaking, snorkeling, and doing things I've never done before. My favorite city is Chicago, and when I get a free weekend, that's where you'll find me! There's something about the city, people, and wind blowing off the lake that I absolutely love.

In a man, I'm looking for someone who has manners. I'm a sucker for politeness and the type of guy that will open doors for others, even when he doesn't have too. Someone who is secure in himself and cares about his friends and family as much as I do. Ideally, you'll enjoy going out, hitting Mizzou & Cardinal games with me, playing kickball (Go team Rubber Balls n' Liquor!), softball, tennis, or some other various adult sport and watching movies! I'm big on developing friendships first too, because if we can't connect on a friend level, we probably wouldn't be able to connect in any other way.

Favorite Books: My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence & Practical physiological chemistry: A Book Designed for Use in Courses in Practical Physiological by Philip Bovier Hawk (Hey, they asked!), and as much as I hate to admit it, The Twilight series.

Movies: Legends of the Fall, Joe Dirt, Dirty Dancing, Napoleon Dynamite, Taken, Gone With The Wind, He's Just Not That Into You, Groundhog Day, Black Sheep, Happy Gilmore, Boonedock Saints, The Notebook, The Lucky Ones, Elizabeth, The Hangover, I Love You Man, Twilight

Music: You name it, I like it. Right now I'm really liking Lady GaGa and Seal's new cover album. Denison Witmer, Decemberists, Tiger Army, Lil Wayne, Alison Kraus, Robert Plant, Kings of Leon, Zac Brown Band. I'm not really a fan of death metal, or any sort of metal to be honest.

Food: Indian, Thai, Sushi, I like a lot of stuff that isn't your basic meat and potatoes.

PS. I really, seriously, dislike smoking, so please, no smokers.
