I'm a Graphic Designer living in Portland, Oregon. I was born and raised in California and have been in Portland since '96. I love it here, yes it rains but the sunny days and summer time is so worth it! And if someone is bored in Oregon, then they aren't active. Got to be physical to enjoy the Northwest. If the sun is shining, I'm outside living it up Camping, riding on the back of motorcycles (so if you have one - hint, hint), spending time with my son, tubing the rivers or getting out in Downtown for some great Bloody Mary's and to watch the scene. Portland is really a great city with good food, great shopping and excellent bars, clubs and pubs...you can seriously never get bored living here.

I guess I consider myself a universal girl because I feel I've lived life and done...it all...practically. I love travel and believe everyone should experience more of the world. I enjoy my wonderful friends and meeting new people, love culture ... there are many great places that have some of the best food and best drinks.

When it comes to dating, I want to meet people who are real, have good intentions, are motivated and of course have a dynamite personality. I get bored with too much quiet!
So basically, I can't do shy.

I enjoy guys who simply have character, who are good hearted, motivated, strong individuals with a positive outlook on life. Professionals, creative and motivated folks. Meaning absolutely no rednecks or ego-maniacs! Intelligent people or those who are stimulating- both on the eyes and within the mind and heart. I definitely appreciate people with a healthy lifestyle - when someone is athletic or at least active, and continues their education. Angry, moody or addicted people need not apply or those who continue to wanna be rockstars...but with nothing to show for it. And please no snobs, man whores (LOL) or people who won't try anything once. I prefer the laid back no worries kind of people... no drama please. You need to live, laugh, and smile. I like guys with a bit of an edge, not totally the bad boy, but some of that in them.

I see myself as very open and honest, as well as easy going. However, I seem to find the complicated types who only bring me down. So now...my future looks bright as I finally know what I want in life! A good friend, a good man whom I can be everything to and share my life with...not married. But really share my life with, without all of the marriage hangups.
