I am honest, nurturing, and electric.
My Self-Summary
I hate talking about myself. Let's talk about you!
Here are some things that are important to me:
- intelligence
- curiosity
- honesty/authenticity
- affection
- compassion
- an open mind (preferrably a liberal mind)
- sense of adventure
Bonus points if you:
- can keep me laughing throughout our date
- own a sport bike
- understand the importance of good grammar (double bonus points if
you know what an Oxford comma is and prefer not to use it)
- know how to polka and aren't afraid to show it
I'm somewhat new to Denver (I moved here from beautiful Missoula,
Mont.), so I'm hoping to meet lots of fun, exciting or at least
interesting people to hang out with. I wouldn't mind a bit o'
romance though either. ;)
What I’m doing with my life
- Exploring all that Denver and Colorado have to offer. I've done a
bit of hiking this summer and am eager to do more.
- Trying to figure out what I want to do next career-wise. I fell
in love with copy editing, but that isn't a viable option anymore.
You can't imagine how much this breaks my heart. I'd really love to
work for a non-profit and/or start doing more volunteer work.
I’m really good at
Giggling. Editing newspaper copy. Organizing. Reading. Making
people feel loved.
The first things people usually notice about me
Lately it's been my laugh. Apparently it's loud and infectious.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I devour books and it's hard to pick a favorite when you
read that many. I'm rereading "A Complaint Free World" by Will
Bowen. I'm a happier person when I'm in the middle of that
book.
Movies: "Milk" is my current favorite. Do yourself a favor and go
watch it. Then figure out what you can do to help gay rights in
this country. I tend to be drawn to indie/foreign flicks, although
I'm not opposed to watching a dumb comedy now and then. Laughing is
good for the soul.
Music: I'll listen to nearly anything if the mood is right. Even
polka. Yes, polka. Favorite bands/musicians include: Ian Cooke,
Ellie Goulding, Marina and the Diamonds, Ani Difranco, Stabilo,
Metric, Alan Alda, Stars, Fiery Furnaces, Clap Your Hands Say
Yeah!, Morcheeba, Goldfrapp...
Food: Curry. Sushi. A good steak. Vegetables. Fruit. Guacamole.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how to be a better person in general, but specifically a better
parent. Raising my child is by far the most important thing I'll do
and I'm trying desperately not to screw it up.
On a typical Friday night I am
reading my child book after book. I'm lucky to have a child who
loves books as much as I do.
Saturday night is my night out... Chances are you'll find me doing
all or one of the following: dancing, laughing with my head thrown
back, eating delicious food with interesting friends, curled up on
the couch of my favorite coffee shop with a good book or
mental_floss magazine.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I know what the interrobang is and I know how to use it.
You should message me if
- you have a creative mind and will think up exciting adventures
for us to pursue!
- you are capable of keeping your word.
