I'm a girl that is equal parts of class and crass. I love to dress up and go out to nice restaurants and sip top-shelf****ails, yet will party with the guys and shotgun beer. I love designer clothes, shoes, and handbags, yet will also shop for those same things at Target. I have a classic sense of style, yet love following the latest trends. I love fine dining just as much as I love greasy spoon dives. I'll spend a ridiculous amount of money on a handbag, yet complain about the fact that Old Style beer is now $4 at the Triple Rock, when it used to be only $2.50 a few years ago. I love arty independent films, yet love stupid humor movies like Beerfest and Orgazmo. I don't usually listen to the radio or to anything too mainstream, yet will put "Sexyback" on repeat. I like things "awesomely bad". Yes, I may be a bit of a walking contradiction, but I feel it just means that I'm well-rounded!

I'm hard-working and responsible. I make a good enough living to live comfortably, am able to travel and buy some cool stuff, yet also put some money into savings. I'm serious when I need to be, yet sarcastic, humorous, and light-hearted. I hate drama and try to avoid it at all costs. Anyone that I've ever met online has told me that my pictures don't do me justice, but you'll have to be the judge of that! A lot of people ask me why I'm still single, and I guess the simple answer to that is I know what I want and I haven't found it yet, or at least not all in one person. I'd rather be alone than in a sub-par relationship.

My perfect guy? Hmmmm...well, no one is perfect, including me, but I guess I'm somewhat looking for a male version of myself, but also with some differences. I want to find my best friend, lover, travel companion, and life partner. He HAS TO love to travel and be able to afford and take the time to do it. He has to be able to find humor in any given situation (even the bad!). I tend to be attracted to creative goofball types. He must be able to appreciate the finer things in life, yet isn't too over-the-top or extravagant. If he's somewhat handy, that's a big plus. Being chivalrous and a romantic wouldn't hurt either. He must have a good balance of maturity and immaturity. Oh, and he mustn't be SOOOO busy with work and other stuff that he doesn't have time to spend with me. The point of "seeing" someone is to actually be able to SEE them, right? I don't need to spend every waking minute with him, but at least make somewhat of an effort to make time for each other, even if we're both busy.

Any questions? Don't be afraid to ask!
