{LAST UPDATED LATE SPRING 2004.}
The intro: First things first. Please sign my guestbook! :) As you can see, I have provided a nice, accurate photo of myself above. If you cannot do the same, I would prefer that you DO NOT CONTACT ME. Oh yeah, and do not ask me to request your picture via email. Technology is here, so act like you know how to use it. Put the picture online! Put your picture on your page!
Who am I? I have never been married and do not have children (but do like them). My qualities include being detail-oriented, a problem solver, a good listener, a situation analyst, honest, sometimes very blunt, a pessimist, somewhat introverted, hard working, perseverant, dedicated, & a one-man lady!! Oh yeah, I`m exactly 61.5" tall! :D
How to understand me: If you`ve ever taken a career assessment, you`ll understand that my Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is ISTJ. I am very methodical; process oriented. I take what you say at face value....at least until I am more familiar with you. I don`t make a lot of assumptions; I believe what you say unless you give me a reason to know you are a liar. I really appreciate the summary of my personality type by Barbara Barron-Tieger & Paul Tieger (www.personalitypathways.com). They have accurately described how people like me are! In conclusion, they suggest that in order to love someone with my personality type, it BEHOOVES you to:
1) appreciate my common sense, practical, and steady approach to life.
2) respect my need for routine and order; avoid sudden changes.
3) listen attentively and respectfully.
4) try to be calm, honest and specific when discussing problems.
5)give me plenty of time to think things through before discussing them.
If you (heterosexual MEN only) want to get to know me better: then, I am seeking someone who is honest, consistent, stable, has an entrepreneurial spirit, and is a good communicator. He should be able to control himself in public and in private with his emotions, hormones, and speech. [Mind OVER matter. That`s all. Mind OVER matter. What`s the hurry? There is ample time to get acquainted. Self-control goes a long way.] My lifetime partner-to-be (not necessarily you) must possess the qualities that will make him a good husband and father. I may not be the most adventurous when it comes to food, so encouraging words help! You are welcome to ask other questions, if you like.
My activities include: church (pentecostal), singing in and directing a choir, NETWORKING, shooting pool, spades, UNO, Phase 10, STEPPING, reading, logic puzzles, debating (not unstructured fussing), gospel/R&B/hip-hop music/jazz, & dancing (would like to learn salsa & hand). Somehow through my busy schedule, I have managed to work in a few days per week at the gym with TAE*BO and step aerobics. Thank GOD I am finally seeing some results!! "Watchoutdeynow!!!"
Aliases: Some privileged individuals know me as "Essence". In middle school, I was nicknamed "thunder thighs" for bench pressing a whole stack of weights. Don`t ask.... A few others know me as "Pillsberry", "Transit Authority", "Dr. Doom", and "Sneak Attack". The little people know me as "Miss Sonia".
Career info: Currently, I manage exhibits and plan meetings for a nonprofit association in the DC/MD Metro area. I enjoy managing and coordinating special events (i.e. workshops, meetings, parties, step shows, etc.). I am working on a certificate in at GWU`s Event Management Program and will pursue a Master`s in Tourism Administration.
A lil` more about MochaSqueez: I believe that one should always "plan for the worst, expect the best, and work hard in between." Some of my pet peeves (or areas of low tolerance) include poorly planned events, emotionally averse or repressed people, bad service, helplessness, incompetence, people who misrepresent themselves to get my attention, incorrectly written grammar, and typos!
Instant Messaging: You are welcome to ask me what my Yahoo, MSN, and AOL names are.
===================================
MochaSqueez & THE DATING SCENE:
___1___Unfair assumptions.
Frequently, men tend to assume I don`t have the time but then they fail to inquire about my schedule.
___2___The ambiguity of a man`s ACCURATE personal/marital/family status during the EARLY
getting-to-know-you phase.
2a) The status, `single`, is NOT an acceptable synonymous term with `never been married`; especially since `single` FREQUENTLY gets expanded to mean `divorced` or `separated`. Being `widowed` IS an acceptable synonymous term with being `single`. (Remember those vows!)
2b) The children….if you have them, please factor that family time into OUR schedule. All I have to say is to PLAN AHEAD.
___3___When the online profile doesn`t match what the man says about himself in person/via phone.
Inaccuracy and inefficiency wastes BOTH of our time, so COME CORRECT FROM THE START! Time is short and we`re both busy.
The exit: Please remember, this is my world and I rule it. If you can`t intellectually stimulate me, MOVE ON. See you in cyberspace. Ciao, dah-ling!!!
