About Me:
Weird things happen to me; nothing that you should be afraid of, but just realize that if we get together, you're in for a wild ride. I've driven a go-kart for six laps with the back of the car in flames. Once I fell asleep at a Captain D’s drive through and the manager came out to wake me up. I’d been working some really crazy hours , and well I was tired. LOL! I never even heard the cars behind me honking their horns. Then, there was the time I got sick on a carnival ride – I mean I was really, really sick….I sprayed the crowd. I know there were at least a few that wanted to kill me, but I was to sick to care. I'm a Southern Lady straight to the core - so YEP, I talk funny. I guess it takes some getting use to for most folks.

My friends and family are my anchor and the paradigm of everything that I aspire to be. I'm fortunate to have them in my life. I'm pragmatic but spontaneous. Nurturing but competitive. Peaceful but energetic. I love staying up late -- whether it's to watch a great movie, or just read a good book -- but I almost always sleep in on weekends. I definitely have an adventurous streak -- whether it's trying out an exotic recipe in the kitchen, headed out to bike week, or taking an aimless drive on the spur of the moment. My dream trip is taking the Orient Express from Paris to Venice to Budapest, and then relaxing on a Greek island with nothing but sunscreen, and great books. Are you in?

About the One I'm Looking For:
I'd rather be with a guy who has big dreams and no money than a guy with no dreams and big money. I must admit, I like a bit of a bad boy -- not an awful, I'm-going-to-treat-you-like-crap kind of guy, but someone who's going to push me to my limits and then pull back with a warm hug at the last minute. Truth is, I'm just a nice girl (most of the time) who's looking for some fun and companionship (not necessarily in that order). I love funny guys who can hold me spellbound with a story or make me laugh until I cry. I also love creativity and passion. Maybe it's your love of old movies, your baseball card collection or the fact that you moved across country with only a duffel bag -- it doesn't matter. The right man not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I'm sure we'll get along just fine. But I will say that if you’re tall, smiling eyes, are a baseball fan or sings in the shower, I'm already melting.

My Perception of an Ideal Relationship:
Complete and utter comfort. I can be myself around you without feeling judged. You can sit in your room working while I do a crossword and I'm entirely content. Warm and comforting cuddling are ever present.

What I've Learned from Past Relationships:
Flossing is important. Laughing is essential. Perfection is impossible. Better to be single than to be in a bad relationship. If it's worth it, I'll work for it; if it's not, I won't. Don't say anything you'll regret because you can't take it back.

Idea of Our Perfect First Date:
We've built up such chemistry on the phone that when I open the door and see you, I grab you by the back of the neck and kiss you before I even leave the house. (Note: Don't you DARE try this -- some fantasies are best left as fantasies.)
