hi! i'm that girl who talks to people and dogs on the street, who
is outgoing, generally curious about life and people, smiles a lot,
and appreciates a sense of humor and a healthy bit of east coast
snark:) something like: you can take the girl out of new york, but
you can't take new york out of the girl(so, yes, i am from new
york, but try not to hold that against me) currently, i'm
virtually bi-costal between san francisco, boston, and new york,
though living most of the time in san francisco. i also travel to
europe twice a year for business, and, of course, love to travel
for pleasure both here and abroad. i love being in new and
undiscovered places, and exploring what's there. i also have a few
very special specific places i return to over and over, which are
very near and dear to me. i'd love to bring someone i care about to
all of those places with me.<br />
<br />
i'm perfectly comfortable going into a crowded place not knowing
anyone and can begin a conversation about pretty much anything. in
fact i actually like it. i'm curious about people, who they are,
and what makes them tick. i'm always intrigued by where different
people came from, what they do, and what they think. my friends
would say that i'm genuine, generous, and loyal, which is important
to me. (my dog would say that i'm pretty fun to be around most of
the time, but i'm pretty sure he is a bit biased especially on the
2 dog park days)<br />
<br />
i'm happy to say that i'm in a good place right now. i own a small
business, and it's on the upswing, which is satisfying. i'm stable
with who i am, i am extremely grounded; i know what i want, and am
clear on the things that make me happy and bring me back to my
center. sometimes my life is a bit crazy, which brings with it a
certain energy and excitement. but i also spend a lot of quiet time
doing nothing; sitting in caf's or at the park with my dog, or on
the couch reading. in the multitasking world we live in, i
sometimes challenge myself to do one thing at a time. it doesn't
always happen, but i'm consistently trying this. it's nice
sometimes to just listen to music and do nothing else, or lay on
the couch and look out the window at the trees, and that's it. i
can be engaging and intense, passionate and curious, quiet and
contemplative, and silly and fun. all of that is me. (not
necessarily all at the same time, though), and i'd like to share
all of it.<br />
<br />
my likes range from classical to kfog, picasso to photography (i'm
an avid photographer). yoga, hiking, and biking (completed my first
century round lake tahoe) and tennis are my preferred outdoor
activities. although it would be nice to have similar interests, i
don't think you have to share all of those. what's important to me
is that you know who you are, and what makes you tick and you are
open to letting someone into your life. ultimately, it's about
fitting into each other's lives easily, feeling as if you have
known someone all your life even if you haven't, and having the
willingness and courage to explore all sides of someone, all with
the ups and downs, that iswell.life. i do want to have a family
and i am open to all possibilities in that realm.<br />
<br />
to sum this up, let's just say that your life with me won't be
boring, but i'm also pretty regular in many ways. basically, i'm
"the girl next door" with some creative twists, and a lot of
eclectic interests. (and i will definitely laugh at even your
silliest jokes:)
