One year ago I sold almost everything I owned, packed my instruments and cats into a van and moved from Maryland to Denver. It was the best decision I have ever made and I love everything about my new home.

In a word I am looking for connection. Someone intelligent, driven and confident in both herself and her place in the world.

Currently most of my time is divided between my job as a server engineer and my music, but I always leave room for exploring and trying new things.

I approach life with the calm intensity of a wolf stalking a juicy bison. I appear relaxed, often indifferent, but my mind is constantly alert to possibilities and waiting for the ideal moment to pounce. I loath comfort and stagnation and am always trying to find new ways to challenge myself. I believe in doing everything to absolute best of my ability. This includes doing nothing, and I'm highly accomplished in the arts of napping, lounging, and enjoying the simple pleasure of existence.

My head. I am told I have a very sexy skull.

I listen mostly to doom, folk and black metal (often at the same time). Some of my favorite bands are Dissection, My Dying Bride, Ensiferum, Enslaved, Agalloch and Moonsorrow. I also listen to a fair amount of stuff from the baroque and romantic periods, especially opera.

My favorite movie is Casablanca. My favorite food is wine.

I read so many books my favorite is constantly evolving.

Cats, garlic, wine, dry erase markers, dom7s, high pass filters.

How to get the perfect bass tone. Why my cats are so weird. How to script my entire job so I can go on vacation without anyone noticing.

Either out at a show or ensconced in my studio with a bottle of wine and my latest musical creation.

Every time I see a dog I cannot stop myself from yelling "PUPPY!!!!"

You are an intelligent woman who respects herself, her world and the people in it. You understand the kind of life you want for yourself and actively work to create it. You are mentally engaged but healthily detached.
