Woman. 40 years old. Zodiac sign: Aries.
Looking for: woman. In age: 37-47
Laid-back country girl with an edge seeks someone to hang out and enjoy life with... no expectations, no drama. Honesty, intelligence, and sense of humor are the qualities I find most attractive in a woman... the rest is just window dressing. I'm open to all types of experiencnces, but ideally a first date should be any type of quiet, intimate setting where two people can become better acquainted and see if there is a connection...

The shape may change, but not the form—It's always the same inside, no matter what the action—whether you live 10 years or one hundred years and do one thing or a thousand things, there is no difference; all activity is the same in essence, only the outward appearance differs. Whether repairing an engine or writing a novel, all are just sequences of steps; all that matters are quality and enjoyment. Whatever one person's dreams may be, all of our dreams are the same. The shape changes but not the form; it is the dream itself that is important and the hope of what can be. If you can impress me with your words, you're golden—no pressure. I'm actually pretty easy-going, and I promise not to grade your grammar as you speak. =}I am looking for the right person, not just any person. Intelligence, education, someone who reads—humor, individuality, creativity, someone who has contemplated all the nuances of their experiences and used that knowledge to grow. Perhaps someone who has been through a lot and got through it okay. I am a part of the modern counter-culture. Unfortunately, old-school gothic English professors are a rarity, and I don't meet a lot of people into the things I enjoy who are also highly successful and together. This time around I am interested in someone seasoned, who is open to being with someone different—me. I am unique, exceptional, and I am proud of who I am and what I have accomplished. I am quite versatile as well and have done a lot in my life. I was born on a fishing boat, to an Italian commercial fisherman, rebelled against those old-world values only to re-embrace many of them as I have grown older. I put myself through school; I have worked hard my entire life, and because of that, I am grounded. I am also loyal, sophisticated yet street-smart, complex yet funny. I am a huge fan of duality and balance. I am also a lover of nature and find deep spiritual connection in natural environments as well as in high culture. I am a refined, free-thinker and political. I am a world traveler; I strive for excellence in my own life and focus my attention on positive energy. Writers, thinkers, artistic people, individuals with strong character are all highly desirable. Loyalty, respectfulness, integrity, a person who questions/thinks are a must. Someone who is genuine and who knows themselves and what they want! A good listener/conversationalist is also required. Being an English teacher means that my partner must be able to stimulate my mind. Inner-strength, passion, romance--I miss kissing. Someone deep, may be even a bit dark, but has their life together and is good to people. Being able to intelligibly express feelings (which seems to be difficult for some) and being unique themselves is also important to me. Oh, and you must love cats. =}Lately I have gained an interest in science and cognitive ability/brain function when it comes to learning. I had removed myself from the grid and was living in the high desert, but am now back by the ocean. In this time, I have gained an in-depth appreciation for nature, clean living and clean food, magnetism, metaphysics; I would love to learn actual physics. One day I want to go back to school for my PhD. Wine-tasting, a museum, park picnic (I cook). Some place to focus on one another and talk while enjoying one of those finer things.

Okay, so let's be honest here. We all have baggage, right? Come on, you know you do. I have an entire matched set of luggage and by matched set, I mean they match because they all came from Goodwill, lol. Okay seriously. No, not seriously. I know there are people out there that take online dating seriously and the rest of us are just here thinking, "What the hell, it might happen." Finding somebody online is like an urban legend, we all know somebody who knows somebody who found the love of their life online. Yeah, but we all know somebody who knows somebody who found the love of their life at a museum or at a bar or at a zoo, coffee shop, school or any number of places. I guess you're just as likely to meet somebody here as any other place, but the problem is that people look at a photo, or a couple of photos that you posted, knowing full well that you look like hell in them, but also not truly believing that it matters, because if somebody is going to hold your looks against you, then they don't deserve to be with you, right? At the same time, you're on here looking at other people's photos, judging them the same way that you don't want to be judged. The point is, we're all ***holes and we're all sweet people and we all have amazing potential to be somebody's perfect match. We just need to get out of our own way. It is in that spirit of adventure that I am posting here. What the hell, right? Maybe somebody out there will read this and think, "I'd really like to have a conversation with her."It could happen. I'm really very witty and sometimes downright funny. So click the button and send me a message. If nothing else, you might get a few laughs out of it. Or don't and always wonder what I would have said to you...;-)Oh look, they have little guidelines at the top for how to fill this out... oops.Uhm... hobbies? I have fish, does that count as a hobby? I just started taking Tae Kwon Do with my daughter and at some point I'm going to do Aqua zoomba... when I don't forget about it.My goals and aspirations? Geez. That's kind of deep for a profile. Leave a little something to talk about... I'm a communications major, one class away from my bachelor's degree. I want to go to law school after that, but I don't know if I have it in me to do law school as a single mom. Plus I'm kind of burnt out on school right now. What I would really like to do is to start a non-profit to help other moms and single women from all backgrounds and walks of life to realize that they can go back to school and to help them NOT to make the mistakes that so many do, by thinking their only option is to go to those colleges you see on TV. I want to help women to realize their potential. I like most music that tells a story. Except country music. I can't get past the twangy sound to listen to the sob story behind it. First date... let's see:First I would stress out for several hours over what I should wear, right down to the underwear and socks, which you aren't likely to see anyway, but which will have to be just so anyway. After the three hour stress out over clothing, I will inevitably wear the first outfit that I picked out, that being some sort of shirt and most likely pants... although if it's warm enough, I might be in shorts at which point, halfway to picking you up, I would inevitably realize that I forgot to shave my legs and will spend the next several hours hoping you don't look at my legs and wishing I had opted to be late and run home and do a quick dry shave, you know, the one where you sit on the side of the tub, shave the bits that you know are visible and swear every time you cut yourself, thinking up some sort of a cover story involving feral cats or an attack of a school of baby sharks while you were rescuing a kitten from the ocean in Bermuda... I don't know what the kitten was doing in the ocean, I don't speak Burmese and the kitten didn't speak at all. When I pick you up, I will tell you it's a surprise where we're going, when in reality, I was so busy stressing out, I will have forgotten to actually plan the date. So I'll casually look through my Groupons for some sort of an idea and secretly wondering if I can finagle the horseback riding lesson I purchased for my daughter into a date of some sort, then finally deciding to simply go to Las Margaritas or Maggiano's and then perhaps walk around the 16th Street mall and talk a bit before catching the late showing of a movie, during which I will absolutely fall asleep at least twice... unless by some miracle I remembered to drink a five hour energy shot. After the film, we might go for a coffee or a nightcap to a small neighborhood bar/coffee shop and talk a bit more, maybe even play a game of pool or something before I drive you home, stressing out the whole way about whether or not I should try to kiss you good night or if I should hug you or fortheloveofallthegods do people even walk their dates to the door anymore? I will probably chicken out on the goodnight kiss and will kick myself all the way home, convinced that the date was a disaster and that I will never hear from you again. Then I will pay the babysitter, listen to how my child was an absolute joy riiight up until bedtime and then she turned into a demon from the ninth level of hell. I'll then feel guilty and tip said babysitter, bid her (or him) a good night and drag my tired ass to bed... after checking my *** various social networking sites.
