About Me

Before I say anything, let me just say: make me laugh and I'm yours. I strive to find a man that can keep me entertained in that regard. Ok, here goes:My self-summary:Self-professed nerd with a heart of gold. Ok, maybe not solid gold, but would you believe gold plated? I'm typically very honest and up front about everything. I don't like keeping things inside; that's what my body parts are for :)Originally from So Cal, I like to laugh and learn and love and am doing my best to just enjoy life, despite crap that may get thrown my way.What I’m doing with my life:Livin' it! I don't know how to answer this one. Ummmm, well I'm trying to enjoy my life? Does that work? Are they asking for a five year plan here, or what?I’m really good at:Making people laugh. And laughing. Oh yeah, and graphic/web design. But mostly the laughing part.Work-wise, I am a freelance graphic & web designer with a marketing background that specializes in software user interface design. The economy has made it more difficult to keep the "freelance" aspect of my work as steady as it has been at its height, but I have been laid off from enough liquidating dot-com companies to realize that I have no desire to work for "the man" that has no vested interest in me. Being self-employed has allowed me to work on my self-discipline as well as allowed me to teach myself new aspects of my business I wouldn't have learned as an employee elsewhere. The one part of sole-proprietorship I will never like and never get used to is collections. I hate making collection calls; I wish everyone would just pay for the work they commissioned :(Anyway! Enough about my work! I like what I do, but this is not something that I focus on all the time. I AM able to separate business from pleasure.The first things people usually notice about me:I'm tall, and I smile a lot. Other than that, you'll have to ask them.Music: Arcade Fire, Sia, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Rachael Yamagata, Air, Adele, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead, Death Cab for Cutie, Goldfrapp, DJ Shadow, Junkie XL, Beastie Boys, Pogo, Ulrich Schnauss, The Flaming Lips, Frédé I pretty much like everything except country and heavy metal. 1, Star Wars (older episodes only - (Mostly everything else I read is online. I can't help it, I'm of the digital age and have a short attention span, so news sites and blogs are what I'm about at the moment. Oh, and please PLEASE don't *** you liked Atlas Shrugged. Please. Just. Don't. Do. It. Okay?Food: Sushi, a great steak, Thai food... and I'm good with pretty much everything else except Indian food and super spicy foods.The six things I could never do without:-laughter-my supportive and loving family-;-my laptop/phone/technology in general-great sex-- not having a car makes getting around difficult. But after THAT then I like to go out. Nothing crazy, but drinks with friends or a dinner out is always fun. I am also not averse to a night at home with a good movie and/or good company. I'm easy when it comes to these things.I’m looking for:Ages ***Near me (I'm serious.)Who are singleFor long-term datingYou should message me if:-You found humor in this profile.-You think you might like to know more about me.-You are going to space and need a cool nerd-girl to accompany you.A few other things:-I've come to the realization that I am an extremely affectionate person, and need someone equally as affectionate for a mate. It works out best for both parties, trust me.-I prefer passionate/aggressive men that know when to be tender. I said "aggressive men", not "***holes". Know the difference.-Chivalry is a huge turn on. Huge. Many a points are scored when my date is chivalrous.- I'm tall and I'm curvy and I love how I look, and if you don't feel the same about me, then good luck finding someone willing to put up with your superficiality. I'm a healthy human being and am not interested in being judged by the likes of you or anyone else for that matter.-Also, please don't message me if you are extremely religious or a Republican because I can tell you right now that it will not work out between us. Trust me, I've tried.***Oh yes, and one other thing... I'm starting to come to the unfortunate conclusion that the majority of men on here are either complete trolls or totally full of shit. I hate to burst your bubble, boys, but I'm not interested in a one night stand, and I'm not looking for some ***hole that thinks it's fun to try (operative word being "try") to take advantage of a nice girl. I realize I live in La La Land, but I have no interest in playing these ridiculous mind games boys seem to love playing. I am a real person and would appreciate being treated with respect. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then feel free to move on to the next one, mmkay? Ideally drinks out or a somewhat quiet dinner somewhere quaint. I don't think that going to a movie or a concert on a first date is ideal. I'd like to get to know you, and don't think I can in such a loud setting. Also, I don't think that getting coffee is a good first date, either. I've been on a few of those and walked away feeling like I had been on an interview, not on a first date.

    I believe in taking care of my partner, and having them do the same for me. I appreciate thoughtfulness, strength, humour, intelligence, compassion and patience.I'd love to meet someone that I could hang out with, talk with, walk with, or just settle in on the couch and watch a movie with.I think it's nearly impossible for someone in my age group to not have any "baggage", and demanding that of another person seems unreasonable. Our experiences make us who we are and the best anyone can do is try not to let the bad ones effect the future.I will never be offended by, and will always appreciate, a door held open for me. I believe affection is very important in a relationship and am happy to give and receive it. Romance, kindness and a sense of humour should never be undervalued.Honesty is crucial...I am not interested in playing games. I am a very open, honest person. I will not lie to you and expect the same in return. I'm probably even too blunt sometimes, but I believe nothing is gained by not being true to yourself or those around you.I generally don't respond to chat requests. Please send me a message *** you'd like to talk. Perhaps grab a coffee and take the dog(s) for a walk?A drink at a pub is also a good option.

    Woman. 35 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 32-42

    I've been online dating for several years and I really have nothing bad to say about it. Sure, I've had some bad dates, but I've also made some friends and have had some great relationships. I also enjoy speed dating. What a weird world of dating we've entered into, eh? We are getting married later in life, once our careers are established. High school sweethearts seem to be a thing of the past. Which is fine by me. In high school, I didn't know who I was or what I wanted. I thought I wanted to be a standup comedian or a radio DJ. I took a run at being a radio DJ for a few years but it wasn't for me. There's something odd about talking to yourself at 3 in the morning thinking no one is listening. Well, they are. And boy do they like to talk.But the trick to making this work is making that first step. Good for you for reading this profile, and having your own profile that contains something more than the same sentence written over and over again, or the words "I don't like to talk about myself, so ask". If you have read this far, we might have a shot. I seem to attract guys that I have nothing in common with. It's nice to think you'll learn something from the other person, but it also leads to a lot of conflict, especially when it comes to picking a movie, or vacation. On the plus side, I never run into my ex-boyfriends anywhere. I love the outdoors. I'm a camper, in a tent, on the ground. I can start my own fire and cut wood, but it would be nice to have a strong guy do that for me. I love watching concerts outside. There's something amazing about watching a band play while the sun goes down. Counting Crows - Road trips are another passion of mine. But don't get me wrong, I love getting on a plane and finding an adventure that way as well. Other than that, I stay sane writing, hanging out with friends, and taking pictures of my cat. Yup. I'm that girl. I clap my hands to the radio as I wait in traffic. I love to dance, and would love a salsa partner... For the dance and the food. I love nachos. So take a chance, say hello. What's the worst that can happen? We have a bad date and we end up with another dating story to share with our friends. Or maybe something magical happens. Hit up a festival.
