Alas, welcome to my profile! Please read all safety regulations before proceeding to the ride!

Note 1: I am naturally a BRUNETTE. If you were attracted by the picture thinking you're going to get a red head, be warned. I love red hair and pull it off well, but it is not that way all the time

Note 2: I want kids but NOT right now. If you already have children, I am sorry, but no means no.

Note 3: I have a house and pets to take care of. Take that into consideration if you live a decent ways away. Im not going to be able to travel at the drop of a hat to see you all the time.

Note 4: I am one of those girls who, you know, is on here to ACTUALLY meet people and not just soak up men fapping to the fact that I'm female. BUT I will be talking to you on here first to feel out if you're worth meeting. Don't expect to get my number or a date until you've let out some personality in writing.

On to the fun part!

I am a bonefied nerd girl, and looking for the same in dating and/or friends. Not into sports and not into loud parties. I like gaming, and have owned most consoles since the Playstation 1 era. Mostly into RPG's and action/adventure. (No CoD, gentlemen, sorry :P) My most frequent hobbies otherwise are reading, writing, drawing, sewing and roleplaying (including DnD and instant messaging on the computer). Im on here to look for a long term relationship, and or to find some fellow nerd friends.

Nerdiness aside, summary of me? I am that gal who can stride in with fine elegance in a little black dress for dinner and next morning be found ungracefully splashing through a creek chasing after a salamander. I will curl up comfortably on the couch for movies or a session of Borderlands. If the weather is nice, I like to be gathered around a campfire bbq with friends laughing and sassing. I am not at loss for sitting quietly with a book, or watching people and making deep thoughts out of small things. I hit a little bit of everything in the spectrum.

Including romance. I am a very sensual person. I enjoy being affectionate with my partner. If you're not someone who enjoys holding hands while being out or cuddling up on the couch to play games/watch movies, or dislikes foreplay, I am not for you. If you're conservative in the bedroom and not open to trying/discussing new things, I am also NOT for you. Period.

* I get along well with most people friend wise, but the nerdiness is pretty much a requirement for romance, brosefs

Some favorite games include:
FF7-10, Legend of Mana, Legend of Dragoon, Metal Geeeeeeaaaar, God of War, AC series, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout3, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon Age series, Mass effect series, Tales of Vesperia, Uncharted Series, Batman Arkham series, Odin Sphere, .dot Hack, StarCraft, Darksiders, Okami, Kotor, Infamous, Folklore and a lot lot more. I also have a bunch of those niche games no one seems to know about. Like DragonSeeds, Chaos Legion, Azure Dreams, etc.

I dont play MMO's because they become my life, so dont ask about them and expect knowledgeable conversation. I also dont play Magic the Gathering. No.

My weekday evenings are usually spent to myself, but I enjoy the occasional spontaneous hangout with friends or a get together on weekends. I am not keen on going to clubs and drinking. Not very active outside unless it's swimming or camping. Trying to get into biking as well though. Just HATE the sweltering humid st louis summers...!

I have two Birman cats, and a Pomeranian. If you have any intention of dating me you MUST be okay with them, as they are NOT ever leaving to please you. I also one day would LOVE to have a doberman, so if you arent afraid of big dogs, that's a plus.

I enjoy going to sci fi/anime/comic conventions and renaissance/pirate fairs. Admittedly, I havent been able to do that much after college and settling into my own place. Dressing up in costume is a rare but treasured event with friends. I would highly prefer someone who would enjoy it with me.

I love science, particularly biology. My studies pertained mostly to molecular biology/genetics/microbiology. I can get very competitive if someone tries to come off as smarter than me in a field I specialize in. Thus, if you are another scientist, its probably best not to approach me romantically if you are a biologist as well :)

Please dont treat me as if I should know everything about science when you ask me questions. This is about as tedious as trying to overtalk me in my own field.

I am independent, sarcastic, can be unforgivably blunt, and I will speak my mind if something displeases me. However, I'm quite down to earth and generally not easily riled. I tease and joke quite a bit with those I'm close to, which means you cant be easily offended to be included in that circle :)

I like a confident guy, and I also *need* a confident guy. If you're someone that is by nature shy/passive/let people walk on you, I will also walk on you or get plain frustrated. I dont want to date an arrogant dude, but I need someone to give me a good mental challenge. I dont want to be the only one making/enforcing decisions. That being said, chivalry isnt dead in my book and I appreciate the small things of opening doors or pulling out my chair at dinner.

I also appreciate good grammar and paragraphs. A lot.

None of my boyfriends have been Fabio esque with ripped abs and bulging biceps, but I do have standards guys, come on. I'm not going to date someone who is or looks like theyre 300lbs. Please dont pull the whole "nice guy" speel on me if I am not attracted to you. If you look like you obviously do not take care of yourself or just crawled out of your mom's basement, being a "nice guy" wont get you anywhere.

I currently have a full time career at a global science firm. I work as a "Science Cop" making sure crazy people arent buying chemicals.

I am definitely aiming to climb the ladder to an upper management level, and want my significant other to embrace this.

This means occasional over time and odd travel arrangements in the near future.

That being the case, Id highly prefer any potential love interest to have his own career or be working on getting one (college). I do not want a man I have to take care of.

Hobbies include drawing, writing and sewing. I also have an average knowledge of cars after building two as projects with my dad.

Physical features: Id like to say eyes. They are a fun blue and sometimes bluish green. Or my hair, if its still red.

Books: Good God I could go on for a while here. However, I love the Pern Series, Game of Thrones, Kingkiller (Patrick Rothfuss is so lovely...), RA Salvatore books, and lots of fantasy or sci fi novels

Music: I grew up on rock. ACDC, Sammy Hagar, Black Sabbath, etc. I tend to listen to a lot of things. Not a fan of screamo, but I can tolerate it occasionally depending on the flavor of just how raw someone's throat should be at the end. ESPECIALLY not a rap fan. I find most of the lyrics to be degrading and the melody if any is usually rape to my ears.

I like Lindsey stirling, some dubstep, and more relaxed electronic music like BT, Blackmill, some Kaskade, etc. Music GREATLY affects my mood, so I use the easy going stuff to keep me sane at work and relax at home. Im almost always playing music, whether just reading or doing chores. Its not uncommon to catch me doing a few hip sways/"some terrible white person dance move" while I tidy up.

Dont watch a lot of TV, but I liked Burn Notice, Bones, Dexter, Futurama, Family guy and such when I still had cable. And most police shows....CSI, NCIS, and Law and Order SVU

Movies: There's a lot here but off the top of my head:
Batman movies (Even the crappy 90's ones). Most superhero movies really....except Spiderman (the latest one of his was all right.) Fast and Furious (especially with Vin Diesel), Lord of the Rings, Miyazaki films, Avatar (bite me), Harry Potter was all right, Star Wars, the new Star Trek, Fifth Element, Bruce willis movies, Terminator movies. Red Line, Expendables, etc

I DISLIKE horror movies. And no, I wont budge on this =P I am a total horror wuss and enjoy being able to sleep through the night. I especially hate zombies...and really wish the obsession with them would go away already. I blame CoD and its zombie maps....

Family
Friends
Music
Computer and phone (not for an extended time at least)
A place for privacy
Stories

I'm just recently out of college, and thus think a lot about establishing a foundation for my future and what opportunities in travel/sightseeing are open to me.

Out at DnD/pathfinder/Gurps game with friends. Occasionally we also have movie nights if people are sick/out of town.

Im convinced that my house is infested with scrunchy trolls, cousins to the thieving sock trolls. Its the only explanation for why all my hair scrunchies seem to disappear....

What? Did you expect some deep dirty secret?

1. You have actually read through my profile 2. You are going to say more than a couple sentences 3. You are an actual nerd and not a huge sports buff who just saw "corsets" and "boobs" and went hurrah!

Please also be aware that I have a life outside of OK Cupid and do get a decent volume of messages. If I dont respond right away, sending multiple messages is NOT going to make you look more appealing. And tlking lyke dis, or only saying "HI :))))" is warranted to get no response at all. You have been warned.

I am much more likely to respond to someone who tells me a bit about himself rather than someone who is trying to fish for conversation.

Mentioning my chest in your first message to me is not going to give you any brownie points. I know it's there, Im attached to it. I do not need your obviously amazing observation skills to point it out.
