I'm from the Bootheel of Missouri, born and raised. I graduated from Mizzou last May with a bachelors in business administration. I love to draw, paint, do graphic design on the computer, party, be around friends and loved ones, pretty much almost anything spontaneous. I'm 5'8, athletic build. I'm focused and self-driven. I absolutely love life and all the things that GOD has BLESSED ME with. I'm an optimist, I look for the good or the next opportunity in every situation. I know that I want to succeed in life. So I don't deal with too many stragglers. Basically, I don't take a lot of mess. I may seem intimidating at first, but get to know me. I'm intellectual, independent, and a bit rebellious! My sense of humor can literally roll you right off your chair if you get to know me. I strive to be an inspiration to those close to me. I can see joy in the gloomiest situations. I also see the world as incredibly BEAUTIFUL. I'm more unconventional and a bit eccentric. I'll roll up my sleeves and get down to business and don't mind getting my hands dirty. I'm a sucker for a beautiful SMILE and a GENUINE personality. I'm usually pretty good at seeing right through people. I'm attracted to men who have backbone and are self-confident (and are taller than me. LOL) I enjoy a good challenge from time to time. You must have goals AND be working toward those goals. I have mine as well, so I need my freedom for me to pursue my independent ways. Note: not independence meaning I don't need a man, but independence meaning I have goals and things that I want to work toward. I have to have it! Don't get me wrong though, I have learned to go hard for my relationships. When I really do love you, I love hard. BUT I just really DISLIKE people who are extremely clingy. And you must be fun to be around! I know that this message had no flow at all, but OH WELL. Gotta love the rAnDoMnEsS. Anything else? Just ask And PLEASE do NOT send me a message just saying HI.
