Hi, I'm Valerie! I'm confident, energetic, and I have a little talent for making ordinary conversations much more entertaining than they were supposed to be. I know what I like, I have my own opinions, and I'm not afraid to express them---but I also know how to laugh at myself when my brilliant plan turns out to be absolutely ridiculous. I enjoy playful banter, clever jokes, unexpected questions, and people who can keep a conversation interesting. I can be charmingly stubborn when I really believe in something, and if you challenge me to a friendly competition, there's a good chance I'll accept before you've even finished explaining the rules. I like giving people a hard time in the most harmless way possible, especially when I know they'll have a funny answer ready. But underneath all that confidence, I'm actually very attentive. I notice little things, remember funny details, and appreciate people who make an effort to be genuine.
