About Me

My first day as an online dater, a "gentleman" (perhaps appropriately self-titled as Kidneyshovel) asked me to come over and hang out in his basement at 11 PM. Hmmm.....not really a basement kind of girl.And so it goes, here I am, again, giving it a try...I love books. I fantasize about being trapped in a library for months and reading all the books on my wish list (IQ84), and all the books I'd love to experience again (Of Human Bondage), and all the books I didn't really like, if only to give them the second chance they deserve (sorry Moby-Dick).I am deeply affected by beauty--even something as small as the way light makes shapes on a dusty floor. Colors, fabrics, fashion, buildings, birds, all attract and hold my eye. I can't help but assign meaning, which probably isn't there, to the smallest visual details.I love dancing, well, any kind of movement really. I like to tiptoe and twirl, cartwheel and climb, leap and lunge, sway and swoon. Take me dancing and we're off to a swimming start. I don't think adults are playful enough. I'd like to meet someone who has a healthy sense of play and fun.These are a few of my favorite things:TV: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire (loving season 4), Six Feet Under, House of Cards, early seasons of Parks and Rec.-Up Bird Chronicles (love everything by Murakami), The Executioner's Song, The History of Love, Sophie's Choice...A few of the things I can do:**Palm a basketball (a woman with very large--yet feminine!--hands)**Dominate the scrabble board (a woman of many words)**Recite a few Shakespearean sonnets (a woman inspired by beauty)**Knock back a dozen cookies in one sitting (a woman of serious appetites)**Fall asleep within 30 seconds of my head contacting the pillow (a woman with a clean conscience)**Rock funky leopard heels, skinny jeans and t-shirt (a woman with a sense of fashion)***I am a few years older than my age posted here, but men often cap their search at ***an age I can easily pass for (: If you find the fact that I've done this dishonest (which is weird since I'm stating it here), then there are certainly no hard feelings on my end, but chastising me as your opening line, well...honestly, I'd prefer to be invited to a basement by Kidneyshovel. Something short and sweet: a walk through the park or at the beach (not the boardwalk though as I was run over by a drunk bicyclist on a meetville date!), or a glass of wine.I don't exchange phone numbers (and for very good reason--the whole one bad apple spoils the whole barrel thing), so we will have to arrange things via messages through meetville. If we meet and, god forbid, we are not a match, let's end things gracefully. And by gracefully I mean no hard feelings and no need for follow up *** the initial recognition and so-be-it-I-wish-you-well exchange. We've all been there, or at least had the impulse to want to keep writing, but my lack of interest is not a statement about your value and vice versa.

    I would like to find someone to hangout with going out or staying in and watch movies. crazy but true! I believe that a strong relationship begins with a good friendship! I don't need a dad, got one, don't need another grown child, I want someone to compliment my life. not Complicate it! I enjoy walking, going to the park, going to play in the mountains, long drives, I love going to the beach. I like to go out and have a few drinks. I enjoy camping and swimming, going to the snow. I like to try new things.. I like to be outdoors... I love to laugh.. Love to have a good time! and yes.. I am a goof at times. I think that is what makes life fun! Honesty, and a good since of humor and someone who knows how to respect other people is a big plus! =I like most music. Have to be in the mood for some. -If you are looking for a booty call move on please. If you are looking to hang out.. I am game! -IT'S HUMAN NATURE TO LOVE AND WANT TO BE LOVED. ITS AN ASPECT OF OUR HUMANITY THAT HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND DISCUSSED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST FEELINGS TO DECIPHER. Question " WOULD YOU RATHER BE RESPECTED OR LOVED?" I say YES, BEING LOVED IS NICE, BUT RESPECT SHOULD COME FIRST. YOU DON'T NEED EVERYONE TO LOVE YOU. RESPECT IS THE BEST FOUNDATION IN ANY RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER ITS A ROMANTIC , BETWEEN FAMILY OR FRIENDS. YOU CAN'T SAY YOU LOVE SOMEONE UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO RESPECT THEM. BUT HOW DO YOU DEFINE RESPECT? I'M SURE EVERYONE HAS THEIR OF DEFINITION OF RESPECT, BUT FOR ME RESPECT IS BEING CONSIDERATE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S FEELINGS, UNDERSTANDING THINGS IN THEIR PERSPECTIVE. PUTTING YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND BIASES OUTSIDE AND LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE. IF YOU UNDERSTAND THEIR FEELINGS, YOU WOULD BE MORE SENSITIVE IN KNOWING WHAT WOULD HURT OR INSULT THEM. Wont know unless you ask me out!!!

    My hobbies are vast, I love to seadoo, snowboard sail etc.My goal is to enjoy my life. To travel, and enjoy my friends and family.My music makes me unique, I write music well, and my family is in the music industry.I love music of all kinds, and will open my ear to anything out there. I have made money in music, but work in accounting and management as well, with prospects of opening a club. I am well educated, well travelled, and well read. Take time to decide if you can make me laugh, and make our lives together peaceful and joyful. If you think you are up to the challenge, drop me a line. Life is to be loved, and the people in it cherished. Peace! And all the best to you!If you are a more serious gentleman, a nice glass of wine and some fine conversation.
