I'm probably one of the most eclectic people you'll ever meet, and my iPod playlist attests to that. I live outside of Philly but I always say I'm from Philly...just to sound badass. I play rugby, but I also play in an orchestra. I love people who have a lot to say and express it without words. I consider myself a real girl - one who'll watch the big game with a beer or two in hand and eat more wings than you. I love food, any kind of food. I don't like when boys let me win, but I do like when they open the door for me. I avoid drama at all costs. I cannot be fake or phony, and my honesty gets me into trouble sometimes. I love being outdoors. Hiking, swingsets, sunsets, fireworks, climbing mountains, whatever. I've been to 9 countries, I've broken 6 bones, I play 3 instruments, I'm always in the middle of at least 4 books at a time and I'm always looking for people who appreciate the small things in life. I have a goofy, Monty Python sense of humor but I'm not immature. After I graduate I'd like to pursue a job in either international business or museum curating. I can wiggle my eyes...which are green. I have a huge Italian family and I love boys who love dogs. I prefer tiger lilies to roses.
