About me:
I'm a fourth-generation journalist who is very active in the community and involved in politics.I've been the best man in four weddings in recent years and figure this working all the time thing is leading me toward a single-occupancy room at the nursing home. Run and work out about four times a week. Highly opinionated but since said opinions appear in print for a newspaper's readership (www.carrollspaper.com) as well as on Iowa Independent.com, I'm not insufferable in person with the rat a tat tat of views. Live in a small city in Iowa (although I attended college in Chicago and lived in Washington, D.C., for four years.) Appearance-wise, I sort of pass for a poor woman's Kurt Russell. At least three women have told me I resemble Kurt Russell. Two of them were drunk at the time, so you'll have to rely on the credibility of the one.
My personality is best described as:
Artistic, Compulsive, Easygoing/Flexible/Open-Minded, Eccentric, Flirtatious/Playful, Friendly/Kind, High Energy, Humorous/Witty, Intellectual, Outgoing, Self Confident
In my free time, I enjoy:
Dining Out, Listening to/Playing Music, Reading/Writing, Taking Long Walks, Movies/TV
In my free time, I like to:
In Bars/In Nightclubs, Bookstores, Charity Events, Concerts, Libraries, Live Theater, Movies, Museums, Parks, Political Events, Restaurants, Volunteer Events
My favorite physical activities:
Golf, Jogging/Running, Working Out/Weightlifting
My favorite food(s):
Deli, Indian, Italian, Japanese/Sushi, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Thai
My favorite music:
Modern Rock n' Roll
I like to read:
Magazines, Newspapers, Non-Fiction, Trade Journals
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Everyone has a story.
Or as T. Howard says in "Hustle and Flow," Everyone's got to have a dream."
