About Me
Where are all the truly interesting men? The ones who can have intelligent conversations? They're certainly not talking to me. Lately I find myself running from dates *** trying very hard to get them. I mostly daydream. Yeah, I'm gun shy nowadays. I'm definitely not convinced this is the place to meet people... but I'm not meeting them anywhere else, either. I'm just me...I've never thought of myself as anyone particularly pretty or special. That doesn't mean I'm not worth a second glance. I am not tall and leggy. I'm not model material. I am, however, faithful and loving when given the chance. I've been single for six years now and had to pay my own way in most of the "relationships" I've been a part of, and many times I've had to pay for everything. I've been the one who's done all the traveling because it seems men these days either won't make sacrifices or they just don't want to come to my town. I did it without complaint, but I really can't afford that anymore. I've never been pampered or taken care of. And, yes, loneliness has taken is toll. I'm the woman all the guys call when they have a problem or get lonely. .. proving that I'm good for something...but they always choose to date someone else. I'm just like you. I have debts and I have faults, but I also still have a few dreams and a few years left. I'd rather not spend those alone. I'm looking for a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, someone to snuggle with, someone to love, someone who wants me to be his world. I'm loyal... and I'm just not comfortable dating more than one man at a time. .. but it seems like the men who come my way always want more than one woman. I don't play those games. And I won't play chase. If you can't communicate with me between dates and I don't hear from you for weeks at a time. ..I don't want or need you in my life. I'm the most comfortable with someone who's slightly offbeat with artistic tendencies. Someone who is sensual and can make me laugh...because I have a hard time laughing at myself. I'm not impressed with photos of guys at football games...if you're into football, you won't like me. I'm an artist who works with subcultures to produce work about their lifestyles. I use art as a research tool as well as a form of meditation and worship. I'm known for my work with bikers, veterans, male nudes, and dogs. My work has been featured in several magazines, and of course, I still want to make a career of it no matter how hard I have to struggle. I still dream of having a full time career in photography as a photojournalist. I will always be on the eternal quest to be a full time artist. I have an established career that I would like to resurrect; my art is very important to me. I want to make a difference. I want to be heard. And, yes, my work has been called controversial. But I won't change it for you...know that up front. There are no children and no exes in my life for you to have to deal with, but you will have to deal with the art. My camera is closer to me than most people are. It knows all my dreams and my secrets. I'm as home in a yoga class as I am in church and as comfortable in the middle of a group of bad ass biker boys as I am dressed to the nines at dog show grooming or showing dogs. You won't find me at the local bar, however, unless I have a camera around my neck because I'm there to take pictures. I don't hang out there, though I might go to hear a friend play music. I spent twenty three years teaching, and if I can find the right teaching position, I'll do it again. Right now I work as a legal assistant at a local law firm. I wish I had more time for art. I'm heavy into music. I paid my way through college on a vocal music scholarship, and I really wish I could get out and perform more. I satisfy that urge working with emerging bands and artists shooting promo pictures. Most of them don't know I sing too. What a shame, but I don't do a lot of bragging on my own voice. Sometimes I wish I did. I'm anything but typical. I don't fit in one certain niche or another, but I'm the same wherever I go. I'm funny, outgoing, bold, and at the same time scared of many of the things in life that others find easy to conquer. I love wearing leather. I can dress up or be casual. I don't like sports...unless it's a martial art. Age has slowed me a little. I used to spend fourteen hours a week in the gym, but nowadays, I struggle to maintain four or five. If I could work less, I'd still be a gym rat. I'm struggling to get back into shape, frustrated by a back injury and jobs that keep me working such long hours that I can no longer always get into the gym to work out. I want the old me back, and I'm trying to find her again...the gal that used to teach some of the toughest weight training classes in the gym. Maybe pride caused my fall...and now I'm rehabbing and embarrassed and having a hard time showing that I'm weaker than I used to be. The newest photos are the ones of me with glasses. The ones dressed in red were a couple of years ago...the person I'm struggling to become again. Yes, I could stand to drop 30 pounds. I don't like that fact any more than you do, and I don't sit around at night eating ice cream and donuts. Does anyone want to cheer me on? Better yet...get in the gym with me. I've often loved but have never found the love of my life. Likewise, I've never been anyone else's reason for existence. I'd like to know what that's like at least once in my life. I get emotionally involved quickly, and I give easily and often too much. I love animals of all kinds and have two dogs of my own. I used to train and show dogs competitively and dream of doing it again. I'm attracted to brains, beautiful eyes, shaved heads or thick or long hair, strong hands, and the things that make a man truly masculine. I'm especially charmed by a man who knows a bit about poetry and art and who can honestly be proud of what I do and who I am. I'm still waiting to experience the latter. Tattoos and piercings are welcome. I have a few discreet ones myself. Bodies are like wonderful pieces of sculpture to me. An effective communicator and a man with music and sympathy in his soul will find a special place in my heart. A spiritual side is a must. Must love dogs. Someplace quiet where we can have a cup of coffee after a meal and can concentrate on getting to know each other.
