Hi. Before I start, it might be entertaining to know that I stared at the blinking cursor on my computer screen for twenty mnutes before I found something of my self worth publicizing (not that what I'm about to say is critically important or anything).
My name is Antonina Flordelis Caserta. People find interesting ways to get around saying all that- the most commong being Nina. I don't really mind either way. I'm 19 years old and I've sort of mechanically memorized a way of telling everyone what I think I'm doing with my life.
I'm still not exactly sure what's going on with a career but I'm a sophomore at Scottsdale Community College in Pheonix.
Hopefully I won't be saying that next year. I'm just now realizing that I have no idea really who I am. I weigh my words so carefully before each things I say about myself. I suppose I over analyze things.
I really love my family and people in general. It's a screwy thing- I think- to say people are stupid. I've found a little beauty in every person I've ever been around long enough to know.
And that sounds like a Hallmark card gone too cheesy but it has truth to it. Some things are so true they're cheesy. Sometimes.
I'm incredibly indecisive but I'm always sure about a few things- White Castle's cheeseburgers, hot showers, coffee shops, and used book stores.
One day I want to write a novel but I'm not sure if I want it to be funny and I'm not sure if I'll actually do it. I finish roughly one of every one hundred projects I start.
I'm inlove with cool weather and kites. I don't do well in large crowds of people I don't know. And I'm pretty good at saying "I don't know" a whole lot.
I also am inlove with making people laugh. I go too far sometimes. Honestly, this is all of me at the moment. I'm in an uncomfortable transition stage so probably half of what I've said will change next week. As long as you know that, we'll be okay. You also have to know that for the most part I exaggerate a lot.
If you've read all that, I'd really like to talk to you. It probably means you know more about me than I've ever been able to actually come out and tell anyone. That's a litle awkward but it'd be even more awkward if we didn't talk.

Well, I am a 22 year old college student that is taking some time off to explore the world, I guess I'm just trying to experience more out of life. Music is my true passion, but I'm not quite sure where it will take me. Some would describe me as being freespirited, others would just say I go where life takes me. I'm in love with love. It will always end in heartache, but to know love you must know loss. When people understand this, they are free to give 100% of themselves to someone everyday because they know it very well might be their last. I enjoy reading, anything really, but I guess I would prefer poetry. It is something about the perception of the world through another's eyes. I also enjoy good conversation. My perfect date would be someone who is open minded, intellectually inclined, honest, and somewhat modest. I like families, though I've really never had much of one- my father and brother both passed leaving my mother alone to tend to me. I don't mind really, not anymore at least. I think that being raised solely by my mother, I was able to grasp the true, heartwarming nature of love, and for that, I am honestly greatful.

Hi my name is Angie. I'm 35, though I look like I'm 20 and I'm not just saying that to impress you or anything. Well, maybe I've been getting bags under the eyes lately, but it's only because I've been working such long shifts. You see, I'm a waitress in some little diner in some little town whose name you'd forget the moment I told you it. So I won't even tell you. I've been living here for awhile with my boyfriend Barry. He's a nice guy, but I'm only with him because I hate to be alone. When you're alone and it's quiet, you think too much, and that kind of thinking drives me crazy. Anyway, he's tolerable, but I know there's someone better out there for me. I know there's someTHING just waiting for me to grab on to. All of my life I've felt this way, and it makes me itch with frustration and antcipation. I know I can be something; I'm special, I'm better than the nobodys who mill around me. There's this small pond outside of where I work that I like to sit by when I take my cigarette and lunch break. I watch the fish swimming around like dummies. Their whole lives are spent moving, but what do they accomplish? Nothing, like everyone else I know. That won't be me if I've got anything to say about it. But the first thing I have to do is get the hell out of here.

My name is Tony Gallo and I love beautiful ladies. My family owns an Italian resaurant outside the city limits of Brooklyn. I don't like places that have a lot of people, because I can't control the situation. If you would like to go out, we aren't going to a fancy health club, but instead, we're going to my family's restaurant. I also work at a law office, but I try to help out at the restaurant part-time. I also need a girl that stays true, because if any woman cheated on me, I don't want to happen what happened last time. There are some things that I have done in my past that I'm not proud of, but what's in the past, should stay in the past. I have a soft spot for kids. If anybody tried to hurt a kid, they would be hurtin' a lot longer from me. Whatever you do, don't bring any bugs around my house. There is nothing I hate more than a spider or a hornet. I wouldn't mind getting a date out of this game, but she would have to be beautiful and good in the kitchen.

Hi my name is Mary Beth Johnson and I am a corky 18 year old who loves people in general. I am not really looking for a date, I would much rather meet someone naturally because then things dont have to be all awkward, whoo because I hate that. My whole life I have been pretty superstitious and feel weird about set up dates. But either way, I am a creative person that likes to know everything about everyone, but rarely let others in to my own thoughts. I analyze everything, and you probably wouldn't even know it! Most people tell me that I am loving and loyal. If you take me on a date to eat pizza, then I would have to go against all my beliefs and marry you right then! If you can forgive me for passing first judgments and can make me a better person then maybe we could get to know each other better.

Hey Ladies, your wishes have finally come true. I am a (recently) single white male who graduated from George Washington University. I like working out and looking good, but I'm always getting labeled as "the nice guy". I'm looking for a girl who can see past my clean-cut exterior. I love people with unique laughs because I'm always joking around. I hate picking sides in an argument because I want to make everyone happy. I graduated with a degree in Government, and thats probably my only regret. I'm going back to school to get a more substantial degree in business. I like to hang out with my friends and play basketball. I spend my thursday nights watching the OC, even though the guys think im watching sports center. Im fun and spontaneous and maybe a little immature. I'm hoping I can find someone who won't hold me back like my last girlfriend did.

Hello everyone my name is Ashley Baker and I am 18 years old and am a senior in High school. I graduate in May and have already been accepted to go to John Brown University.I am a devout Christian. I am valedictorian of my class but that's not saying much at the school i go to. I like to play volleyball, read the bible, and pray. Sound boring to you guys? Well im not looking for anyone who isn't serious about having Jesus in their life and judging from the school i go to Ill be single for quite some time. I dont get out a lot, but when I do it's usually to go to my Dad's services, he's the pastor of our church. And I go to my youth group workshop once a week and we talk about the many social plagues that hinder today's society. I want to be a public speaker and one day travel the world and let some of the less fortunate people of the world feel the power of God's word. If you're still reading and aren't skeptical or scared off then you probably aren't half bad and I wouldn't mind having a chat. Gosh I hate these things!

My name is James Bellinger and I was born in Amherst, Massachusetts on 1977. As a kid I was all about having a good time which usually meant having a little trouble with the police, but never to the extent of hurting anybody, just kid’s play you know. I wish I could tell you that I’m still that crazy, free spirited guy, but the past three years have certainly changed my life. Not that I’m a mean guy or anything, but I just like to keep to myself. I mean, every time I actually talk to someone new, which almost never happens, I end up in the same awkward place, you know, wondering how much of my life I should reveal to these random people. So I just figured I might as well not talk to anybody, at least anyone new. But overall, ignoring my drama for just a second, I guess I’m a pretty normal guy. I love my father and look up to the man for everything he has done in his life. Then there is my brother whom I also love but sometimes want to strangle. I’m sure anyone out there with siblings knows the feeling. And then there is my dog, my constant friend. He doesn’t talk much, and I’m quite fond of that. But most of all I have a feeling that no matter how much I screw up in life, he will always wag his tail at me. I’m also a huge fan of hot dogs and baseball. On the other hand, I’m not a very tolerant person and I have no patience at all. I have a law degree from the University of Boston and had a job at a pretty big law firm but I was fired after I threw a little tantrum at my boss, of course my shrink doesn’t call it a little tantrum but more of a nervous breakdown. So basically I’m back to square one and looking for a job. I really don’t like people who don’t take responsibility for their own actions and have no respect for liars, and even though I hate to talk about this, the truth is that I look down on my brother for cheating on his wife. I guess I should also mention that I caused my fiancé’s death, which is probably the reason why maybe I’m not really such a normal guy.

I graduated with a double major in three years. Studio Art and Public Relations. I was 20 years old when I got out – went on tour, here and there. Lived life one day at a time, the way I always wanted to. Out on the road, I fell in love – with a city. San Francisco. The band I was managing played a show at Bottom of the Hill, a little dive on 17th and Missouri, right by this little Thai place that to me, was heaven on earth. I was good at what I did – better than most who had been in the industry for years. I took a year off at 23 – had more than enough money to – and settled there in a warehouse that doubled as my art gallery. You’d think police would have better things to do with their time than go after “poor, starving” artists without a permit to sell on the streets – but their ridiculous threats did nothing but egg me on – I’d (easily) pay my tickets and be back on the corner the same day. Could I have gotten a permit? Of course…but where’s the fun in that? Now, at 29, I’ve learned one thing. Life experience gives you stories. At 24 I went back to the industry – back to what I excelled at. I’ve earned myself options. I work when I want to, how I want to, with whom I want to. I’m trying my hand at writing – goes back to that life experience thing, and I’ve got enough to cover every novel on the shelves of your local library. I fear only one thing. Settling. Settling in any area of my life. I had a girl. Four years. She left me, after threatening to a hundred dozen times – it’s about time if you ask me. She needed what I couldn’t give her. Constant reassurance. You see, the way I look at it, life is full of options - I can’t get around it. The way I look at it, there’s always something better out there. She just couldn’t take that.

Hi my name is Cameran Kader. I am a 16 year old girl, born and raised in Texas. I am a junior in high school who is faced with the absolute torment of having to wake up and go to school every morning. I hate school. I guess you would say that I am "not part of the popular crowd." I would say that everyone looks at me like I'm some big dork, but that's not the case. No one even looks at me at all. I sometimes feel that no one even notices I'm there, much less alive. I have one best friend. His name is Dorian and sometimes I feel like he doesn't even know the real me. I live with my mom, step dad, and my older sister. My dad left my mom, my sister and I when I was two years old. My sister and I just recently started visting my real dad again but he lives like 7 hours away, so we don't see him often at all. My sister is a princess. She gets everything, EVERYONE loves her, and she's perfect in everyones eyes. I am extremely jealous of the attention that my sister gets. She is a year older and a senior in high school. I wish all the time that I could be in her shoes. I try hard to avoid her at all times because, when I am with her, everyone just avoids me or compares me to her. Even though I'm so annoyed with the attention that she gets, it's my secret in my heart that I know I could never live without her. Deep down she means so much to me. I hate myself too because I'm so mean to her, but she has never once been horribly mean to me. Our step dad has been with my mom since I was two years old. He is the biggest asshole that's ever walked the face of the earth. I can't stand him. Even though we've only just started seeing my dad again, I pray every night that he will come get me and my sister to come live with him. I love my mom more than anything but I hate her for staying with my step dad through all he has put us through. According to my step dad, work is my life. I have to miss out on everything because I have to work every single day. My step dad owns a pharmacy. The store is called Kader Drugs. When I am not at school, you can probably find me there. My life is a living hell from day to day. Even though my sister is looked at as perfect, I know that she wants to escape her life sometimes too. I just wish that I could talk to her more easily and we could run away together. We have so many secrets inside of us, that none of our friends would ever believe what our lives are really like. Sometimes I just wish I was never born.

Hi my name is Mary Jane Johnson. I am twenty-two and currently work for Taylor ISD as the superintendent’s secretary. I am a very busy girl because I volunteer my spare time at the local animal shelter most of my weekends. First of all I want you to know I have some fairytale beliefs of love at first site and happily ever-afters. I love animals, especially cats, mom’s home cooking, and of course flowers. My family and I are very close knit so you definitely have to be a family man. I strongly disliked people who are racist or homophobic. I also do not like Indian or Thai food; it always happens to make me sick on my stomach. If you want to take me on a date you better not take me to a theme park because I am terrified of roller coasters and heights; unless you are prepared to have my face buried in your chest. Now that you know this, you will understand why I will never bungee jump or sky dive. My biggest regret is that I did not finish college because I would have loved to become a veterinarian. I also have many things I do not want to admit to. For instance, I am not a natural blonde, and for the past two years I have been contemplating and saving up for breast implants and a tummy tuck. Hopefully, I can find someone who likes to keep their feet on the ground and loves this small town girl no matter what.
