Perhaps the most popular interview question on the face of this earth: describe yourself in three words. What happens when my friends answer for me: "fun, smart, and pretty";. I generally also get "crazily spontaneous". Part city girl, part country darlin' ~ I love curling up on the couch with a book or hiking, but I love roaming around the city going to the theatre, jazz lounges, and people watching. The country girl's addicted to hiking through the national parks, and studying history and handcrafts (think sewing and beadwork); the city girl has a theatre subscription, will drive several hours for a symphony concert, drives two hours just to grab diner food and catch up with college friends.

As far as education, I'm in the middle of my Masters, with two BA's already completed in business and foriegn language. You can't be intimidated by all the education, and it would be enormously helpful if you could hold your own in an intelligent discussion.

PLEASE NOTE that I'm not out to get married in the next nine months. I'd like to meet to a guy that shares my belief that marriage survives best when based on trust, mutual respect and a strong friendship. So let's just say that for now, I'm out there looking for someone who would be willing to explore a longterm serious relationship with possibility of marriage. Mutual attraction never hurt anyone, but then again, most people never stop to see the inner beauty we all hold. Will definetely admit I'm kinda shy until you get to know me, and I guess I tend to be a bit old-fashioned. Not too high maintenance, but I like to have my space every once and in a while. Yes, if you ask me to, I will call you if I'm going to be out late with a couple of friends; if my friends and I are on a weekend trip, you'll get at least a text message every night, if not a voicemail.

Ultimately, he should be someone who appreciates a woman with a strong mind and heart; someone who cares about the soul of a person instead of just their looks. If I've described you, please don't hesitate to drop me a line!

I've always been really close to my family! No matter what happens, family will always be there for you and support your decisions (as long as they aren't too outlandish) ~ These days, I live with my mom while my brother goes to college on the other side of the country. I tend to do crazy things when family is involved. For example, last Eid-al-Fitr, the holiday happened to fall on my mom's birthday. So after taking off from work for two days, I left a history presentation weekend early to make the six hour journey home, and arrived in North Jersey at 2:15 am. Do you see what I mean now?
