Normally I just list a bunch of words to describe myself... I'm gonna do something different than normal...

I am.... different.... I am nothing like anything or anyone you know. Why's that?.... you'd have to experience me to truly understand this, but I can attempt to describe the elements of myself to you. I might be similar to others you may know in some small fashion, but I am unique.

I, that I am, am a warm inviting fire, drawing you to me for my warmth, comfort and protection. In this cold world, everyone wanders, some stumble upon me and take comfort in my radiant warmth. The radiant warmth of my heart has become a mainstay and a rock of strength and support for others in my life.

I, that I am, am intelligence and wit, keeping you entertained and entrained, teasing your mind, drawing you out, provoking your mind to think and challenging your notions and perceptions.

I, that I am, am a catalyst. Everywhere I go, everyone I meet, everyone I speak to, I affect and I have no clue as to how or what I've done to affect you. I may never know, but most of those that stay in my life will tell me eventually. Changes in lives can be profound or subtle. I've taught things ranging from unconditional love to releasing anger to self love to happiness.

I, that I am, am a healer and a mage. Distances and conditions mean nothing to me... I can reach across the world and touch you with my essence.... I can transform within you the pain of physical things and reverse conditions, relieve symptoms and more....

I, that I am, am polyamorous. I can't contain myself.... I can't be told "You can only love one person this way." and agree.... If I love you, I love you unconditionally and it matters not to me if I take you into some form of the bedroom or just enjoy your company. Because of this, I love many.... and many love me.

I, that I am, am a switch.... I'm bisexual... I'm dominant.... I'm submissive....

I, that I am, am a dirty dirty dirty old woman in a young man's body and I love it.... for this reason I refer to myself as a "Hu"... look it up on wikipedia

I, that I am, have a morbid sense of humor and an appreciation for dark aesthetically pleasing things in life. That translates into, "I'm goth."

I, that I am, have a natural affinity for the buck fifty words as a means of communicating more clearly my intended meaning and also distinguishing myself from the sheeple of life. I've recently come to realize that I'm a nerd, not just a geek... but it's okay, I'm the cool type... just remind me to zip my cargo pants up. *winks*

I, that I am, am here for emotional bonds with others, not a fling or a casual hookup. I want a meaningful relationship of emotional intimacy and bonding.

I, that I am, have been accused of being too dark and negative by the fluffy bunnies and too white light and fluffy by the darklings... I walk the grey.

I, that I am, am all this and so very much more.... oh yeah, and I'm the Corrupter of Worlds... Spend some time with me and I'll warp your mind too.

Hehe, being evil with love and sensuality while offering Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters and some salvia divinorum.

On a more serious note, I appear to be heading off in different direction with my life. I'm not sure what I'm doing just yet... I'm seriously contemplating *gasps* majoring in psychology... despite the fact that the sciences taught in colleges are all brainwashing, think inside-the-box type of courses.... it's the only thing that I can see these days that will hold my attention and I don't already understand to a large degree... That's not to say I don't understand human psychology right now. Not true at all, and far from it... but I think I could understand it better and it's the only thing I can see myself going after a degree for... the rest is all yawn and uninteresting as a career for me.

I'm awesome at a lot of stuff. I'm a geek, so naturally I'm good at computers, but that has spilled over and influenced other things. Logic and linear thinking for instance, or the application of computer concepts to spiritual things. Philosophy is one of my favorites, but that just makes sense since I'm a spiritualist.

Spirituality, I'm fantastic here. I grok it. My purview of the workings of the universe is thorough enough to explain most things. And I'm a spiritual healer. I can heal with my mind and my heart. It's amazing what you can do with nothing more than determination and knowledge. Beyond that I'm a trained massage therapist, so if need be, I can do things in the physical realm of things too.

Love... hehe, since Love is a major part of my spirituality, it only makes sense that it's something I'm good at.

Cooking. I've never cooked a bad meal in my life. I've made things that look bad but taste great, and that's the rare exception.

Other than that, my sense of taste when I can afford it as I desire is very.... elegant and refined... Once a vampire... Well, you always have something as a lingering remnant of your past states/phases of being... Red, black and blue, the colors of the freshly beaten, are my favorite colors.

My presence, not just physically, but in subtler dimensions is generally first.

Second is the unique character that I am is next... I'm strange enough to make you arch an eyebrow and endearing enough to make you want to stay around and intellectual enough to keep you stimulated mentally.

Books: Any thing by R.A. Heinlein, Frank Herbert and his son David Herbert, Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern series, Robotech, Larry Niven

TV: Six Feet Under, Dexter, Burn Notice, Heros, Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU to name a few

Music: I'll say this. I have thirteen categories of goth music on my file server... Though I love world music and classical folk music. I do not like rap or modern country music. Give me Johnny Cash for my country music fix... I love classic rock from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I adore the 80s music.

My tastes in food is worldly. I love most anything and enjoy the variety and diversity of foods one can eat if they just bother to go a little out of the way to do so.

You know... after having just left most everything of mine in Houston to move out here to Mesa AZ, I don't think there is much that I have an absolute dependence on anymore... even the few things that I kept that are not clothes could never be seen again and I'd still function normally.... in terms of physical things anyway....

The things that I absolutely cannot live with out are the emotional bonds of intimacy, love, trust and appreciation I have with those closest to me.

Deep philosophical and spiritual stuffies... I'm always looking at how to improve myself or understand the universe around me more. My spirituality is one of my largest defining factors at the moment... as if you couldn't tell by now.

Also, I love looking at the world from alternate perspectives that others won't bother to see.... put myself in other people's shoes and get a feeling of the emotions and perspective that they have on a situation. There's more than one side to any picture/story... look and listen to as many as you can.

I'll get back to you on this... I'm in a state of transition and flux once again.

I'm crazy enough to probably be locked away indefinitely. It's not everyday you meet someone that claims the things I do and believes it... and I'm talking about things that aren't even listed here... Like being an alien in a human body :P

I'm an Extroverted Introvert.... so I'm quiet and keep to myself... but when I go out, I really go out.

Oh and I have very little shame around strangers.

You think Michael Valentine is the shizzle...... and are looking for a relationship of emotional intimacy and bonding.... oh yeah and you gotta be poly friendly. Fellow Goths, Pagans or New Agers are most most welcome.

And show me some depth, either in your email or in your profile.... too many profiles all read the same (I'm laid back, like art, music and whatever. I like having fun.) Show me you have a personality and some depth to you.... show me that you are alive, self-aware and love to live. Basically I don't want to date sheeple.

I re-iterate, I'm not looking for casual flings.... don't even bother if you think you can be an exception to that and just want to fool around....

Lastly, I don't respond to the Quickmatches. I much rather actually have a conversation with you or at least see an attempt at one rather then something that equates to a wink.
