I am 34-years-old. I have naturally blonde hair, blue eyes, and am told that I have a strong facial resemblance to Princess Diana. Although, that is as far as the resemblance goes.

I have never been married, but engaged a couple of times; they just were not the right choice for me. I am, however, the sole, exclusive parent to a teenage daughter. My decision to have her was the best decision I ever made although having more children has never been a goal or priority.

I am small-town born and raised, but have very modern ideas about the aspects of my life. Life is wonderful and it amazes me with its little twists and turns. My life continues to get better and better. I am currently experimenting, trying to gauge my life for when my daughter leaves home. I look forward to empty-nest syndrome and have plans that I cannot wait to undertake.

I will be honest and say that I am on the plump side. This wasn't always so -- amazingly when I began taking classes in order to pursue my higher education, to the detriment of my work-out schedule, did I notice that my body took advantage of expansion opportunities. I still eat well, however (which is pathetically aggravating when you see the Big Mac's others chow on without remorse and you think to yourself, "Why the hell can they get away with that!").

I have a terrific sense of humor and I love to laugh. My laugh can be quite loud, but is complemented as "amazing." At a recent night out with friends at the pub we like to relax at, the owner came over and told me she was just talking with a lady outside who had told her that she didn't know the owner of that laugh but that it is legendary.

I make friends easily and can be quite a flirt. I believe strongly in karma and will go out of my way to ensure that people and I remain friends. It takes a lot to get me so mad that I find that my only recourse is to end the friendship. This has regretfully happened, as I am certain it has happened with everyone.

As mentioned, I am the sole parent of a teenage daughter. Whomever says that two parents are necessary for a successful upbringing need not inquire. There are fabulous two-parent households and equally fabulous singe-parent households. My daughter is beautiful and intelligent. She is the recipient of a Rotary Internation Youth Exchange sponsorship and will be spending her next year abroad. She also has moxie and is extremely independent. She is truly my greatest accomplishment.

I am active in various fund-raising efforts. A lot of my extra-curricular activist activities have been on the back burner while I have been taking classes. But the right cause will bring me out in full force.

I do have an Associate's degree but often discount it because it was a means to a paycheck for this young, single-parent. I am pursuing transfer credits through the institution in which I work. Once my daughter graduates high school, I plan to take my retirement savings and return to school full-time. I will major in English Literature and minor in Women's Studies. I have looked at several universities which pair the two well, but have not made any concrete decision. I will be relocating wherever my educational whim takes me.

In the meantime, I am a full-time Administrative Assistant for a small college. I support the Bachelor of Arts in Integrated and Professional Studies program, as well as, the Social Sciences/History/Humanities department and Faculty Senate. I have been with the institution for 9+ years.

My ideal person is first and foremost a best friend. I like to talk and I talk often. I am blatantly honest and expect the same from a partner. I do not play relationship games well; I find them very tiring and not worth my time (playing games is how people get hurt). Physical attractiveness is important, but I cannot say that I have a type or an ideal. I have dated a wide-range of individuals with a wide-range of characteristics. The chemistry is either there or it isn't and that is what I rely on. I do, however, require some decent form of personal hygiene and housekeeping skills (please!). My partner has to have a sense of humor, has to have some motivation for his life, cannot be too serious or too trivial. He has to enjoy friends but also alone time. He needs to be secure in himself. Other than that, I am open to new experiences.
