About Me

The Resume:My hobbies: home improvement, writing fiction, animals (dog lover, but without pets at the moment), reading, walking, going to movies, live theatre(my degree is in set design for film and TV), concerts and listening to music at home. New technology (it’s part of my job, but it can be fun), science, computers, my iPhone, Starbucks, dark chocolate (the good kind).My goals/aspirations: writing a book, researching my family history, travel-(I do like cats too, and horses) Finish some projects on my house and make it my sanctuary. Update: new floors are in the bedroom, I did some of it myself and all the painting. Not sure if I wouldn’t step on any toes, but I would like to try ballroom or couples dancing. What makes me unique: I'm sure my friends have their own opinions, but I am outgoing and confident and shy. I like being around friends and family, I am also comfortable being by myself. In my job I work with a lot of guys, techs and engineers and I am comfortable in that environment, but I also like the theatre, art, literature, I can use power tools and grew up with snakes and lizards. Music is very personal to me and taps into my emotional and fun loving side. Yeah for iTunes!!!Turn offs:Use of profanity when it isn't needed, Profiles without pictures, pictures taken in the mirror, pictures wearing only sunglasses (I have a thing for eyes) and lastly pictures that contain dead animals/fish. The Novel (in progress):Since being divorced I have decided not to settle on finding just someone, I want THE ONE. While I am a hopeless romantic, I am a realist and I understand relationships take effort. That doesn’t mean I can't write my own ending, I want someone who I can look at across a crowded room and smile knowing there is some amazing secret between us. Intimacy should start with the spoken word, an innocent touch and see where it leads from there. As I mentioned above, I work with a lot of guys, techs and engineers and I am comfortable in that environment, but I believe my salvation is my creative and intro-reflective side that has flourished over the last few years since the passing of my mother and the end of my marriage. I see the world in a completely new light and intend to make the most of this new found motivation. I can’t change my past, but I am in complete control of my destiny, conscious of the journey along the way. I would like to find someone who shares some of my interests, and even if there are some he is not avid about part taking in, he decides it makes him happy because I am happy. At the same time, I would like that special someone to expect the same of me. Letting someone 'in' to my life and I into theirs is hugely important and needs to be achieved without fear of judgment. This includes embracing each other's family as their own, socializing with mutual friends and being open to new ones. I like being around friends and family, but I'm not afraid to be alone. I am not opposed to a man who will open doors for me or who will offer their hand when I get out of a car (in fact I like that a lot), but I can take care of myself, I am far from helpless. But that doesn't mean I don't need a strong shoulder to cry on occasionally. I don’t consider myself a dare-devil or sports junky, but I don’t keep myself locked indoors all the time either. (Unless I’m writing then I can’t help it). I do know enough about sports to follow along and have ventured out to see a hockey or baseball game. You move a little more, there’s a bounce in your step and a smile on your face. Music becomes the sound track to the life you want to lead. It can reveal a few secrets without saying anything. (Are you mysterious, fun, multi-dimensional, flirty, romantic, sensual, vulnerable, a closet rock star, assertive, poetic, young at heart, emotionally available, rebellious, all of the above.) If you can relate to any or all these concepts then introduce yourself. I know the difference between a flat head and Philips screw driver, I’ve cut more than a few sheets of dry wall, have power tools of my own and don’t check the mirror every five minutes to see if I need lipstick. I’ll let you decide, I know who I am and *the one* needs to know who they are while being open to change, because everything changes. ~~~~~"One person can make a difference, and everyone should try." - JFK.'“Whatever you do (in life) will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” Mahatma Gandhi First Date What would I like to do on my first date: It would probably depend on what transpired leading up to the first date. I think the best activity would be something fun with the opportunity to get to know my first date better, some place that also allow us the opportunity to talk, ask questions and listen to what each other may have to say. And please have a picture on your profile, my main profile picture is current ***.

    If you're gonna "peek" at the profile, then why not at least say "Hi" ;) What can I say about lil' 'ol me? :) I'm really enjoying this part of my life even though I never thought I'd be here again (in the single arena that is) I'm a very fun-loving, caring, protective person. I will go to the ends of the earth for those that I care about!! I grew up in So Cal and miss putting my toes in the sand. (And no, the Great Salt Lake does not count as a beach!! lol) I enjoy long walks, sunsets and sunrises, fireplaces (or firepits), they are all very relaxing to me (not bad for holding hands or cuddling either ;) ). Here's to meeting new people and making some new friends...hope to chat with you soon :) ciao I really like going to the movies, but not so much for a first date. I more enjoy something where we could talk and get to know each other...maybe dinner, a comedy club, a REAL game, car shows...when they're in town or even test driving cars

    PLEASE NO IM's UNTIL WE HAVE TALKED OR TEXT BEFORE. It's very distracting trying to answer mail when people keep IMing you..Please don't write me in your 20's or 30's and ask me if I'm into younger guys, the answer is NO! Lol Don't tell me you travel for a job and live in another state..quit cheating! Don't ask me to go out during the week..when your spending time with someone on the weekends...and don't tell me how all your Xs were models..not impressed! Now that we got that out of the way.. (Ok..so knowing I put this rather harshly in words...just in early July I was contacted by a very charming decent looking individual and he was married and wanted a girl in every state. According to him he has a high sex drive...GOOD FOR HIM) It took me one meeting and all of 3 days to figure that guy out. Once again..if your involved and/or married your wasting your time..there are huge flags for people like that and unfortunately, most men apparently think most woman are stupid. I am not stupid and I realize that some men choose this dating site because there is NO BILL, Hence, NO TRACE. My hobbies and goals are varied. I love participating and watching most sports. I love the Red Sox and people fascinate me. (2 seperate statements I know) I love learning new things and I am pretty laid back and open minded. I have had the unfortunate situations where the people I have dated in the past, have had future intentions with another partner.Here we go again. lol Looking but never finding. Stayed in a "on again off again" relationship that has run it's course. Once trust is betrayed you can never recover. The longer you stay the more you find out about the person you gave a second chance to. So, I guess I really don't know what I'm looking for...lol. But..WARNING..PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR NUDE PHOTOS OR PHOTOS OF ANY OTHER SORT. MY PHOTOS ARE ALL UP TO DATE AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR PHOTOS, THEN DON'T CONTACT ME. IF YOUR PHOTOS ARE NOT UP TO DATE..DON'T CONTACT ME. DEAL? Cup of coffee depending on the person and circumstances.
