About me:
I love
champagne with my lunch, my rum with coke, my vodka with club soda, and my whiskey on the rocks. I enjoy wit, sarcasm, goofiness to the nth degree, laughing just to laugh, riding my bike to work in the morning, sushi, and people that dont take themselves too seriously.
I love the big city, but i'm a country girl at heart. Being outdoors makes me happy. I love things like whitewater rafting, hiking in the mountains, fishing, camping, horseback riding, jetskiing... I am opinionated, love to laugh and make others laugh, a loyal friend, a great listener, but I do tend to be a chatterbox. Basically, a loud talkin', big smilin', good time havin' gal.
I lived most of my life in Chicago, and have recently moved to Canada, and I am totally enjoying my life here!
Oh, I want to learn how to fence.
Other things to know about me: I love dogs, motorcycles, captain morgan, my cd/dvd collection, goth, mod, punk and industrial music, the original Exit on Wells, DJ Dave Roberts, sunglasses, swing dancing, taking walks in Lincoln Park Zoo, Railroad Car restaurants, Tiki fun, my KitchenAid mixer, family, friends, BBQs consisting of steaks and beer. I love older cars, whether they be custom hot rods or 60's-70's muscle cars.
Who I'd like to meet: Obviously, I need to travel more!!!
