COOLEST EXPERIENCE: graduating from college
MOST EMBARRASSING THING I HAVE EVER DONE: giving a speech in my college public speaking class with my zipper down.
TRAITS I LOOK FOR IN A PERSON: (as in anyone who I would be friends with) to have something in common, accept me for who I am, a great sense of humor, always ready to provide a put-down when I get too much of an ego
LIKES AND DISLIKES IN A RELATIONSHIP:
likes: to have something in common, love to spend time with each other but have lives of our own as well; respect, trust, and honesty; to be a giver and provider of all that I can without expecting an immediate return, to see someone grow and flourish in their life because they know I'm there for them 100 percent of the time.
dislikes: her not vocalizing opinions soon enough, me having difficulty understanding what she really feels, a lack of trust, her not standing up to me when she feels strongly about something, her always having to have something done "special" when we go out to eat.., me thinking that she is complaining too much when maybe I need to realize it is these differences that make her unique and all the more special to me
WHAT I WANT TO BE/DO: fly internationally in the Boeing 777 for a major airline
RELIGION: family is strongly practicing catholic. I haven't quite decided what denomination I am for sure right now, but I know that I'll probably have to be a more active catholic before I ever think about getting married or having children
FAVORITE THING TO DO IN THE SUMMER: work or play hard to get a good sweat going, cool off with a dunk in the pool, chill out with a walk in the night breeze
