Hi!
Right off the bat I'll tell you that I am loud, and in your face, and a lot of people are put off by that. I don't mean to scare people, I'm just really happy and excited about life, and sometimes that comes out in me projecting my voice when it is not at all necessary. I laugh loud, I smile big, and I give great hugs. I'm honest, and sometimes inappropriately blunt about it.
I care deeply about myself, about other people and about the impact we all have on each other and the world around us. I try on a daily basis to be the best person I can be, to have a positive experience with everyone I interact with, and to get to know myself a little bit better.
I work full time and am now going to school. I decided recently I wanted to change careers, and in order to do that, I've now committed to at least 5 years of school in order to get the necessary degrees. I'm eager for the challenge, and look forward to being able to compete in the world at a higher level.
I'm always planning my next vacation. I just returned from a whirlwind Vegas to NYC trip, next up - London.
I spend my free time with friends, at Greenlake, doing yoga, seeing shows, or any other thing that comes up to do. I love doing new things just because I've never done them before. I love exploring new parts of the city. If it has live music, or is some other form of live entertainment, count me in.
I don't watch much tv - in fact I spend very little time at home.
Music fuels the fire of my soul. My taste in music ranges from blues to rap to dance to adult contemporary and everything in between. If it stirs emotion, I'll listen to it over and over.

You should message me if you know who you are and you are perfectly ok with it, if you are capable of having incredible conversations, and if you know how to stand up for what you believe in.

A first date should be casual and fun, and is not necessarily limited to coffee.
