I love to go running... to me, there is nothing better for the mind, body and soul. I'd be lost without music, and have a really wide variety of musical tastes. Some of my favorites are Jackson Browne, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Stevie Wonder, Brandi Carlile, Rancid, Ingrid Michaelson, Joshua Radin, The Killers, and Tom Petty. At first thought, what makes me unique, is that I have old fashioned values, still... believe me, I tried to shake 'em, but, it's just who I am. Most importantly, and via the school of hard knocks, I have learned that true wealth in life is found in your heart.
Random Stuff about me...I always say please and thank you, and I go out of my way to be nice to people in elevators. When I am in the shower, I always make a "G" with the liquid soap on my scrubby thingy and it always makes me smile. When I was a little girl, I used to always want to be a princess-ballerina-kitten for Halloween, because I couldn't choose between them all. Sometimes when I am by myself, I like to read Dr. Seuss books outloud. Everytime I hear "Ave Maria" I get all choked up and get the chills. I guess that is the Italian in me. It's what we do. My very first memories are me in my first ballet classes and I have spent most of my life so far training and dancing in dance companies in New York, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Now, I am in banking. Go figure! Other than that, some of my stand-out occupations have included (but are not limited to) knife sales girl, model, and flight attendant.
I love...
The Clay-mation Christmas Cartoon of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, The Bedazzler, The Downey Ball, cool key chains, roach clips, I collect funny magnets, cheering for the underdog, Diners (the greasier the better), singing my ass off in the car, serendipitous days, great dive bars, cold pizza, sushi, the smell of orange blossoms in the summer time, really great lip gloss, finding a "pull through" spot in a parking lot, succeeding, the perfect outfit, inside jokes and secrets with friends, baking and cooking, gumball machines and chewing way too much bubble gum at one time, bowling, honesty, anything shiny and sparkly, riding on motorcycles, working out, canned green beans, sleeping in on Sundays, peeling anything, kittens, a great pair of shoes, street meat, shine spray for your hair, Laughing until my tummy hurts, sincerity, picnics, genuine kindness, the perfect bite, rollercoasters, finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places, knowing looks, wet ones, new bags, going to museums, my "sparkly butt" jeans, spray butter, a good book, the thrill of the chase, cool pens, learning something new everyday, a big fuzzy pair of slippers after a really hot shower, shooting pool, justice, hangin' out in sweats, puppies, setting and reaching new goals, celebrating, dancing, laying in bed during a thunder/rain storm, cooking, my friends, my family, my job, my life... So, there... that's all you need to know about me. That's a wrap people...

I suppose a great first date would be something casual, and probably unplanned. I like spending a beautiful day somewhere, it would be outside, enjoying the scenery, enjoying music, and most definately laughing.
