I am a total NYC Girl though that opening may not signal that. I love life and all I have been blessed with. My supportive family and great friends are central in my life. I have boundless energy and love to be around people. In my free time I love to venture out to NY restaurants, read, cook, hear live music, dance (especially to 80s beats!) and just enjoy time with friends. I also savor quality alone time.

So...the most cliche` way to describe myself is via "Sex and the City" references...so...you can say I am a mix between Miranda and Samantha. I like to chill with friends friends and fam over large bottles of cheap (but classy) red wine or mageritta's 'the size of my head.' I love the theater and all other artsy-fartsy stuff. And if it weren't for this whole law school thing...I probably would be doing the weather and reporting in Paduka...

I read a lot of science fiction because yes I am a dork. I am also randomly cute and a total chick, which wouldn't seem to mesh with the sci-fi thing but it works for me. When not reading I am in the gym or thinking I should be in the gym or worrying about what time I am going to get to the gym. WHY? Because I want to have a six-pack. I don't inflict fitness upon others unless they ask me though.

My bloodstream has a chemical makeup akin to a cocktail =). I can run in four inch heels. i like to smell really good.
