I am friendly, open-minded, and hungry.

My Self-Summary

I say hungry in the adjectives part because I am hungry for a lot of things (least of which is food). I'm hungry for new experiences, for travel, for new friends, for new books, for new learning, and lots more.

If I were a rich woman, I would probably never come home, so it probably is good I'm not rich. As it is, I like to get out there and do stuff over staying at home most days. Occasionally, though, curling up with a good book or writing my laptop or just vegging out is nice, too.

I probably am so hungry for new experiences and getting out of the house because I was working full time and going to school full time for about a year and a half and didn't have a life. Prior to that I worked 70 hour weeks for a few years. I'm soooo burnt out on that. Though I'm still a student at Portland State University, I'm not working currently. This means I can work on my other projects and it has been SO nice.

I'm a married poly woman, with two kids and a German Shepherd. My little girl is 7 and my son is 16. My family is great! I've put them through heck with my busy schedule working so much and going to school these last several years. I owe them a lot of gratitude, that's for sure!

What I’m doing with my life

As I mentioned, I'm a student at PSU. I'm majoring in film. I plan to get my friggin' bachelor's degree (something that has eluded me for faaarrr too long) June 2010 and dancing naked in celebration, drunk off my butt. I haven't been drunk in years, but for this occasion, I would happily indulge.

Once I get my degree, I'll probably get an internship either in a film studio or television station and learn more of the craft of the trade. But I'm not so sure I will try to get a regular job, though. I want a break.

I'm going to let my hubby support me for a while. With his health, I've been doing the family breadwinning for a long time, and now that he is better, I plan on doing some writing and some movie making.

I’m really good at

A lot of things. But there is always someone better, and I remember that. Otherwise I might get a big head. :)

Things I love to do (regardless of whether I'm good at them):
Photography
Writing
Hiking
Camping
Thinking
Reading
Learning
Shooting
Driving
Baking (I make award winning cookies!)
Making Lists That I End Up Not Following
Laughing
Watching Movies
Lots More (depending on my mood)

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm a big gal. I'm short. I have very fair skin that burns, then tans. I've got tan lines right now. I'm loud & rowdy in a good way, opinionated but not arrogant, and not afraid of people.

I've been told I have bedroom eyes, whatever that means.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Book: Most anything by Terri Pratchett is great, though Monstrous Regiment is my favorite book he's done.

Movie: No favorite, but I have favorites: Oh, Brother! Where Art Thou?; Citizen Kane; La Strada; Little Miss Sunshine; Delicatessen; Cabaret; too many more to list.

Music: No favorite. I like lots of different types of music. I like the beats and music of a lot of rap/R&B/pop, though I don't usually care for the lyrics, so I don't listen to it much anymore. If I listen to the radio, it is usually on 97.1 Charlie, because it has a huge mix of different kind of stuff.

Food: Do I have to have a favorite? I love all KINDS of food. I am especially fond of Asian and Mexican cuisines, but I like to experiment and try new things all the time (when I can afford to, anyway)!

The six things I could never do without

My family

My hands

My eyes

My ability to make and keep friends

My imagination

My laptop

I spend a lot of time thinking about

My kids, my husband's health, activities I would like to do, things I SHOULD do, what needs to be on the shopping list, travel, the story or novel I'm working on, that cute hunk who was on the Jose Cuervo billboard...

On a typical Friday night I am

1) At home, working on the computer.
2) At home, rented some flicks and watching them with the family.
3) Out with the hubby seeing a movie at the school theater.
4) With the family camping.

Or lots of other possibilities.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I've got a certain body part pierced that most women are too scared to pierce. Trust me, it didn't hurt hardly at all to get done and the result has been FUN.

Also, bi men turn me on. Why, I have no idea. But they do.

You should message me if

You like to do outdoorsy stuff, are adventurous, have kids (or not), are bi (or not), are open minded, intelligent, on the liberal side, are educated or at least very well read, and can write more than two sentences about yourself when you email.
