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.

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    I love music and listen to many, many types. I love listening to live jazz. I enjoy visiting different restaurants and trying different foods. I love to eat but not to cook - LOL!! The sound of the water makes me feel alive and gives me energy. I really relax when I am by the water - winter or summer.I love animation -I have a deep appreciation for animals. I was lucky enough to have had many pets as I grew up. I learned respect for all animals at a very early age. I share my home with a kitty. I had two up until last October. My little girl passed away - she was a very sick kitty and I miss her very much. I have a great sense of humor - love intelligent humor. Frazier was one of my favorite shows. He had a very unique "take" on society - enjoyed him so much.Now to wine - it has to be red, very dry and very good. My personal favorites are Malbec and Zinfandel. I am not a wine snob - just know what I like and enjoy :-)The political arena interests me and intrigues me. I keep myself updated on current events. I enjoy a good friendly political debate.- :-) I am genuinely looking for a relationship that will last with work, dedication, honesty and trust. I am a good communicator and believe open dialogue is essential for the long term survival of a relationship. I am not interested in playing games. I do not lie, cheat or sneak around. If you are into playing games then please walk on by. I definitely am not the lady for you.Good luck to all! I prefer to have dinner on a first date - a nice dinner in a quiet, intimate restaurant. Having dinner gives us a chance to talk, laugh, share information and relax with each other. We can allow the evening to flow in any direction and take us along. We can take as much time together as we want to take. Hopefully, this initial date will lead to many, many more.

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    I'm a little uncertain about on-line dating but it seems that it's difficult to meet new people - we all are so busy.... Just want to meet a great guy to enjoy life with. Not asking too much, right?I grew up in many different places since my father was in the military for 26 years. I loved it there and would love to go back to visit. I like adventure, nature, laughter, hugs, red wine, a beautiful sunset, snorkeling, witty humor, healthy food, quiet time for myself, board games/cards with friends, pondering deep thoughts, exploring Quantum Physics, animals of all sorts, all of my longtime friendships and new ones, traveling and feeling accomplished.I'm a pretty optimistic person, able to see the silver lining in just about any situation. I love to laugh and would love to meet someone with a great sense of humor. I feel younger than my age, people usually guess me as being about 10 years younger. Music I like includes rock, pop, jazz, classical, new age, but does not really include country, bluegrass or rap.I'd love to meet someone who I can enjoy hanging with: talking, laughing, playing, and of course, kissing. It would be nice if they had a good solid set of friends, too. Well, let's see what happens next. Meet for coffee to see if there is a connection.
