About Me

A few things about me:1) Yes, I'm an English teacher but, no, you should not be watching your grammar. There are exceptions, for sure, but here's the point: being a reader just means I'm drawn to narrative and art, metaphor and meaning, subtlety and resonance. The grand uniqueness of human experience, shared, always! As a rule, apostrophes come second.1.5) I'm INTJ, pretty extremely. But I do have feelings, honest.2) I may be small, but I'm brave. I've given birth in my living room, underwater, without drugs. There's not much I can't do. And would you please remind me of that when I have ***English 12 essays to mark?2.5) Seriously hate guns. Ironically, I'm an excellent shot because Dad was a police officer and taught me how to use them.3) I would rather read a ***page book on the history of salt than look at pictures of muscly men flexing to their phones in the bathroom, on their cars, at the gym, or... pretty much anywhere. Men in adorable hats with sweet smiles, eating trail mix, on the other hand, and, well--I try not to stare.3.5) my #1 celebrity crush is... Jian Ghomeshi.***hole.4) If you tell me delightful and clever stories about taking your kid to the museum to view native masks, wooly mammoths, and animal photography, I will have a hard time forgetting you. I may even stay up late, imagining witty replies, then fail to respond because I think you're too wonderful.5) When friends try to impersonate me, they look over the tops of their glasses. Not sure if that's a librarian joke or a short joke, though I'm pretty sure I actually do it. I'd like to think it's sexy :) 5.5) I have just one dimple, but it is borderline aggressive as far as dimples go, I know. 6) I'm a classic introvert who is well-practiced at acting extrovert-ish, out of necessity. I'm a teacher, right? I'm fairly confident, but find large social groups super draining. Absolutely love one-on-one though. I do require solitude to recharge. Yes, I still enjoy live music but more often at smallish venues or outdoors where I can escape, if need be.6.5) Some transparency... I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, but if you want to do winter sports that involve something more complicated than walking with big shoes on, you'll have to teach me. Sorry. But I would love to learn! And falling down can be cute, in its own way, and don't you love being an expert?7) I've been called esoteric, but the truth is that I've been on too much of a soul journey to not care deeply about things existential. What are we made of? What are we after? What matters? Why don't we have it? What comes after? How do we know anything at all? Along those lines, I treasure ambiguity and shades of grey because they seem more honest. Certainty? A bit of an illusion, right? Truth is the thing I invented so I could live, said someone I love. Also, I have a messy relationship with religion, but am still drawn to the questions, the practices, the mystery... 8) Reading is huge--fiction, non-fiction, newspapers, magazines, graphic novels. I love poetry--reading it, hearing it, writing it, sharing it. You don't have to love it as much, but if the last thing you read was Lord of the Flies for English 11, we might have trouble. 9) In truth, I'm more connected to American politics than Canadian***Perhaps because I live inside my head a lot, I require someone who can make me laugh...we'll get along. And I do have a silly side--it's in there somewhere near my sense of adventure, which is alive, but underfed in recent years.***I appreciate sarcasm a little too much--love satire, parody, The Onion, SNL... but pretentious, self-important people make me itch. We are all people, fundamentally more alike than different. None of us really gets it, right? But there's always someone who gets it even less... ***I love my job. Seriously, I do. And I try to be good at it, and I invest a lot of myself there. This means there will be periods when I don't have tons of free time. But there will also be vacations, 12 weeks of them! And when the end of the day comes, I'll want to enjoy the people I love. Really enjoy them. And that's what I'm missing--a reason to endure all the hard stuff. Want that.***The big exclamation at the end is that I love my kids, and I want the best for them. The very best. I dont mean money. I want them to, eventually, see their mother in a beautiful relationship, to know what she's like when she's in love and has plenty of passion in her life. I want it for me and I want it for them.And... I've said too much. But if that didn't scare you, then say hello.Postscript is that my kids do have a wonderful father in their lives who makes them animal pancakes and tends to their Lego education. Also, he and I get along well (strange, but true). First meet up? Simple.First date? More fun.

    I'm a fun loving woman who loves all that life has to offer. I like to spend time with family and friends, and l enjoy low-key get togethers. I love spending time out of the city, at the cottage.

Mostly, I like to laugh and have a good time over a glass of wine - or 6...!!!! I have two little boys who are the light of my life and I have been in education for the past 16 years.

    I am waiting for someone very sensual, honest to a fault, caring and giving, responsible with life and treat it like an honor, friendly and kind, able to laugh at oneself and life...shrug off little things, enjoy the view through a childs’ eyes and to be responsive to the environment we create for them.I would like to meet someone that is able to be quiet and finds humor in life easily. I don't need a lot in life ... but genuine people, good food and quality memories.Real appreciation for nature, food and hard work are a must in the man for me...someone who loved to cook would be especially nice as I enjoy it too and we could keep each other company there and maybe school each other in healthy cooking?! ;PI so very much look forward to sharing those little things that make life special with someone...I enjoy my life and don't often do things that would disturb my comfortable pattern of not dating...but I should...and know that I am a catch, are you?! open to ideas, thoughts, suggestions:D

    Here you'll find a very honest and caring person. I'm very talkative and open. I love listening to music everyday (mostly 80's glam, hair, metal, hard rock, country, reggae). I love going to concerts and listening to live music. I enjoy watching television and going to movies, playing pool or going bowling, catching a live band, socializing, laughing, seeing new places and trying new things. I love to cook, and I like trying new cuisines. I'm very outgoing and playful, outspoken but personable. I love tattoos. I only have four currently, but am hoping to get more soon. I'm a very casual and low-maintenance kind of person. I like enjoying the simple things in life, such as just sitting on the deck of my trailer in the summer and enjoying the fresh air, or sitting by the campfire at night and looking up at the stars. I'm looking for someone who shares some of my interests, and perhaps can introduce me to some new ones. I like being able to spend quality time together, as well as having time for myself and my family. I value honesty, commitment and a good sense of humour above all else. If you can make me laugh, and don't know how to lie to save your life, then you are already gold in my book!! Please feel free to message me if you think that sounds like you. P.S. If you have no intention of eventually texting and calling, then meeting to see if we are compatible, but *** want to chat online until we are old and grey, then please don't waste our time. I'm not looking to make long-lasting friendships here, nor am I looking for any pen pals. If you don't have a picture to show me (posted or sent privately), then don't bother. Looks aren't everything, but let's face it, we need to know what each other looks like. If you are only looking for casual sex, friends with benefits, phone sex (or anything related)........then again, please don't waste my time or yours. Also, please know how to carry on a normal conversation. It's aggravating when you start talking to somebody and all they do is just answer your questions and leave you nothing to work with. I'd rather not play a game of one-sided 20 questions. If you'd rather not talk, just be honest and say so!Serious replies only. Thank you :) I think a good first date is meeting for coffee. That way we can chat and get to know one another, and decide if we'd like to take it further. After that, dinner and a movie sounds like a good night to me. If things progress past that........then the sky is the limit.
