Thought I'd give this a go as some friends got lucky on here and i was told me that online dating sites are frequented by some very strange people, so I figured I should filter out a few folks by asking some serious questions.Please answer carefully: 1) Are you a fan of Justin Bieber? 2) Have you watched more than 2 episodes of Jersey Shore? 3) if you think Def is the best band of all time!?. If your answers to the questions was 'no', then congratulations, you've passed the first test! If you answered 'yes' to either question', then I'm afraid there's no way we'll get along, sorry! Now that we've gotten the formalities out of the way, let me introduce myself. My name's Charlene. I assume you probably want to know a few things about me other than the fact that I like "hanging out with my friends" and "going on vacation", so here are a few random tidbits: I make a valiant attempt to stay athletic, fit, and simultaneously well read. It's exhausting. Almost unbearably high IQ. Very successful Woman (Am a medic in Army for short to make you less curious......MOS 68 W and E 7 grade officer) I have a lifelong interest in yoga, meditation. An aspiring master of irony. Love to read, watch films. Often together, to save time. Stand up comedy, if it's funny. (Well, yeah..) Animal lover- mostly mammals. At one time or another I've been a recovering genius, world traveler, pro athlete, failed rock guitarist, and good natural speller. Reportedly I have a wicked sense of humor. I've been collecting stamps since I was 7 years old (kinda geeky, I know!). It was something I used to do with my grandmother, and now serves as a way to honor her memory. To sum up, I can under most circumstances carry on an interesting chat. I value respect and politeness. I can be generous to a fault. (Or is that faulty generosity?) I live a very healthy lifestyle, in terms of diet, exercise, recreation, etc. And, well, a reaable amount of chocolate. A wizard in the kitchen. Gordon Ramsey once told me that I was his idol... Ok, maybe not, but I'm sure he'd love the flavor of my home-made gnocci. I LOVE green peppers! Not sure why, but they just make me feel so good inside. Especially on a thin crust pizza - yum!. I make an effort to eat raw foods as much as possible, but I've been known to indulge in a Big Mac on occasion. (I must admit, there's no better cure for a hangover than two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!) Nomadic Adventurer. I've set foot on 5 continents and have a thirst for exploring more. I hope to one day go vacationing on Mars as I've heard the mountains are glorious. Full of random (and oftentimes useless) information. I will kick your butt at Trivial Pursuit. Halloween is one of my favorite holiday. Each year I make my outfit from scratch. It has always been a dream of mine to do a road trip across the United States in an old Volkswagen lol. A perfect night for me is getting my friends & family together and cooking a nice dinner for everyone. I try to always remain positive and be in a good mood. I like to go out and have a good meal over stimulating conversation. In terms of going on dates, I am not very hard to please. As long as I am spending quality time with my significant other, I am a happy per. I believe in karma and that you should always treat others how you would like to be treated. I'm looking for a very special man (aren't we all?)-sense of humor, caring, must be fit and attractive. Intelligent. Someone I can share secrets with and have crazy fun. Someone I can spoil and pamper. I'm open to numerous possibilities. I'm looking for companionship, friendship, chemistry, conversation and intimacy, hopefully leading towards a long term relationship.. Yeah, yeah, all that, but there MUST be a deep connection, a genuine liking between us as well as passion. I live my life with passion and deep purpose. It's all very exciting, isn't it? A cup of coffee might be a good place to start, right? Write me.

My Ideal Person I am looking for a man that is fun loving and spontaneous. Some other characteristics I am looking for include: independence, sense of humor,career driven and trustworthy. Anyway, if you're a laid-back intellectual who can appreciate a freshly made quinoa salad and the occasional chai latte, If you wink at me, be prepared to back that up with witty repartee.
