I have no patience for excuses or a lack of self-knowledge. Know thyself. People who don't take the time to examine their interiors are missing out on something huge-- especially when it comes to dating.
A nice person, but assertive too. I want to be that person who finds the balance between being good and being herself.
Cooking! I love to cook but just don't have as much time as I'd like to do it. I also read a ton, but still feel like I don't spend as much time with a great book as I used to. One thing that I can't stand to see fall behind in the rush of reality and responsibility.
Relationship advice, friendship, levelheadedness, and an occasional kick in the butt. I'm also good for a laugh when that's called for. And sometimes when it ain't.
Getting to know people-- seeing that part of them that they don't think shows. And understanding why they make the decisions they do. Which means I love books and movies and anything that acts as a character study.
Television in general and reality TV in particular. Though I do have my weaknesses. And I'm terrible about not watching the news-- it comes on and I change the channel. Bad, right? Oh, and sports suck, too. Sorry guys.
Can challenge me mentally and spark my interest. Really, I'm just looking for an interesting point of view-- an open and self-aware perspective that I can learn something from.
