I think therefore I am. That summarizes me pretty well.

I love my life. Period. I enjoy each passing moment and do not dwell too much on opportunities missed. I follow my dreams, I do care for my friends and love the ones dear to me. I am a bisexual - I did have long-term relationships with both men and women.

At this point of time, I'm only interested in meeting and talking to (corresponding with) women. If you are a guy, please do not waste my time, especially with anything cliche, especially in how you can seduce me, if only given a chance to meet me in person. You won't.

Intellectual lust is something that's atop of my Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If someone would open a Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts from Planescape Torment game, I'd be a patron. Or maybe an owner, if providing sensual atmosphere combined with sensitivity out of intellectual conversation would not have a myriad in our society. I'm a sensual, stubborn and a bit intimidating kind of a woman.

I do spend upwards of four months a year overseas - Copenhagen, San Francisco Bay Area, Bangalore and Nagoya are the most important destinations. I like travelling, but my journeys are all business, not much fun.

Chasing my dreams - scientific, professional, personal. I'm happy, I might add.

Goals for the future? A tenure at a research university or a high ranking position on a brilliant research team.

Finding love lurking in the shadows (meaning: matchmaking my friends and co-workers) and unwanted attention from guys forgetting that their college days are over, getting out of tight spots.
Also runs: training karate for over half my life and beating the crap out of above-mentioned males.

My attitude and smile. Unless you are such a shallow person that looks always below the neckline ;)

Favourite authors - Nabokov, Steinbeck, Herbert (Frank), Asimov, Coetzee, Tolkien, Hardy. I do enjoy some classics and I'm trying to catch up with the latest sci-fi and fantasy novels, but most of my bedtime reading consists of scientific journals.
Favourite directors - Bunuel, Lynch, Jackson, Soderbergh, Frears.
Favourite picture - Mulholland Drive.
Favourite shows - Veep, Downton Abbey, Ripper Street, The Following
Favourite musicians or bands: Tori Amos, Bjork, Coldplay, Dashboard Confessional, Melissa Etheridge, Mylene Farmer, Natalia Imbruglia, Nine Inch Nails, Sarah McLachlan, Radiohead, R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, Snow Patrol, Tegan and Sara, The Killers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Favourite cuisines: Croatian, Nagoya-style Japanese and Catalan.

A maine coon hunting for a postman and a dog sleeping at the foot of my bed (or outside bedroom door), dreams to pursue, friends to lean upon (or give a shoulder to lean on), music in my head, summer rain, being physically involved in sports, hot chocolate in the morning - more than six things? Shrug.

1) Finding new ways to motivate myself - should I have been a Dark Jedi? Or someone's nemesis?
2) Why do people assume that polygamous and polyamorous is the same thing?
3) Fluid sexuality theories.

At home, playing with my dogs, friends, love... just relaxing. Either that or on a business trip, sometimes you have to sacrifice spare time to achieve your dreams.

That I'm a confident, kinky, bisexual woman? Privately I may or may not admit more.

You feel like it and you aren't afraid to be rejected.

If you're charmingand looking for an intelligent conversation rather than an instant sexual gratification.

If you want to be challenged in every possible way.

Do read my profile first, however, pretty please.
