Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm pretty much a homebody. I like watching movies in my own living room, cooking or ordering take-out, video and board games... or just surfing the net. I also read a lot... I go through spells of immersion into texts. I'm about halfway through a 25-novel futuristic murder mystery series by J.D. Robb.

I also have a young puppy that is quite the attention-whore right now. I'm a dog person, always have been. I never met so many guys that are "cat" people until I moved to Vegas. Anybody care to explain that?

I'm a former mid-western girl, born and raised in Missouri. I love to cook, but rarely do so. It's expensive and wastefull to cook for just me. I like being artistic and crafty. I crochet, I cross stitch, I sketch and paint, I sew at times, I do bead work. It keeps me busy and my brain occupied.

I have a BS in Engineering with an emphasis in Hydrogeology. IOW, I'm a fluid mechanics nut: the kind of girl that will stand in the gutter to watch the way the water flows, or studies the way water collects and runs in rivulets down a windshield.

I minored in psychology. I'm looking into a future certification in occupational therapy and further certification in animal-assisted therapies so I can run my own hippotherapy clinic.

I actually asked one of my friends to describe me. The response I got was: "An intelligent, witty, and compassionate person who is quick witted and enjoys gaming, puppies, and has admirable aspirations and long term goals." Can't argue with that. ;-)

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Working for the man, playing with the puppy, reading, crafting, paying off my student loans (should be done with that this fall!) and generally learning about anything I can.

I live by this motto: Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as you ever can. -- John Wesley

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I'm told I over-think things. I guess that is something I am good at, whether it is truly a benefit to my person or not. I seem to be able to help everyone BUT myself. I love to study people and have served as a psychological counsel to many friends. That's probly my best quality. I'm a great friend.

My mother thinks I should become a writer because she's impressed with my ability to BS through an essay. I don't think she comprehends the requirements to be a decent author. I don't have the focus or imagination to do that kind of work.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

That really depends on how they meet me. Probably the glasses, or the fact that I'm on the larger size, since that seems to be so out of place in this city.

If they "see" me without meeting me, they probably think I'm efficient and in a rush... as it seems I am whenever I'm not at home.

In order to see my sense of humor, I have to trust you with my serious side first. It's more prevalent, and really a large part of who I am. That stops a lot of people... but I am who I am. And Gosh Darnit -- I like me!

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Oxygen, Water, Food... oh, you don't mean biologically.

Friends, even from a distance.

Family. They are my roots and the grounding force of my life.

Music. A beat and lyrics I can keep up with and relate to. Slow ballads or upbeat singalongs. No screaming please!

Water... not sarcastically. It's soothing to me when I get stressed. I love swimming or fishing, or just watching the river flow. Hence the HydroGeology.

Fresh Air. I hate the smog and congestion in this city.

Technology.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

My family, my future career options, the people who wander in and out of my life...

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

At the dog park till dusk, then curled up at home reading either web forums or murder mystery novels.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I want to move to Colorado sometime in the next year for a career shift. I hope the job market will allow me to do that.
