OK, sooo. I'm 30, and live around Cincinnati. But you already knew that cause it's at the top of the page isn't it. Let's see, something pertinent. Umm, I work as a licensed massage therapist . Love my job. You'd think that it would get me more dates, but you'd be wrong. Whomp whomp. ;) Anyway, it's nice to do something where I get to make people feel better every day and pretty much everyone says thank you. I specialize in chronic pain management. Fibromyalgia, spinal problems, stuff like that. I also do Reiki and Craniosacral Therapy.

I read a lot and I'm insatiably curious. Mostly fiction but also some theology (I'm not religious, just interested in what makes people tick), poetry, physics, biology, history, and philosophy. Hobbies are role-playing (table top RPG's, yeah I'm THAT nerdy), video games, writing, and the occasional game of golf in the warmer parts of the year. I like going to plays when I can and movies when I can't. I've recently started volunteering at various artsy endeavors around Cincinnati, like the Fringe Festival and Midpoint (Note: if you don't know anything about the Emery Theater in OtR check it out, there's a revitalization project going on there to bring back this beautiful historical venue). Live music's always good, with jazz as a preference. I like singing, and I'm not half bad. I play piano...badly. I enjoy dancing on occasion, and the fact that I likely look like a chimpanzee on ecstasy while engaged in this activity does not diminish my enjoyment of it. I love to try new things too; I'll do anything twice (cause hey, the first time may have been a fluke).

Interested in things like art and theater (prefer classics), physics, genetics, and sociology. I've got a strange and/or morbid sense of humor and love making people laugh. I'm told I have a calming presence.

I like chatting, but I see this site as a way to facilitate connections; until I meet someone in person they may as well be an imaginary friend. I love meeting new people and even if we don't click on a romantic level I like making new friends.

Working at an office with a couple other therapists and at a local hospital as a PCA. Trying hard not to let my mind stagnate. Finding culture where and when I can. Making a conscious and constant effort not to be a tool.

Massage. Prepping for the ZA. Listening. Imitating myself. Sleeping. Eating brains. Slowly causing the fabric of the universe to fray and unravel. TYPING IN ALL CAPS. Riding my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars. Blinking. Convincing people that dogs can't look up. Remembering the words Klaatu Virata Nicto. Sleeping. Dodging high speed traffic (I have failed at this once and do not intend to repeat the mistake). Hanging from the ceiling by my toes. Checking to see what time it is. Singing in the rain. High fives. Low fives. No fives. Crossing inter-dimensional barriers. Oh, and sleeping.

My hair is on fire. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHY! WHY!
...but honestly I've never really asked. Why don't you tell me?

There's a lot of great art out there and unfortunately I'm never going to have the time to experience it all. This makes me sad, but I'll take what I can get.

A)I'll do authors: Robert Heinlen, Tad Williams, Robin Hobb, John Keats, Stephen King (kinda hit and miss there), Stephen Donaldson, Yeats, China Miéville, Stephen Crane, Carl Sagan, Iain M. Banks, Edgar Allen Poe, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Oscar Wilde, Jim Butcher, Oliver Sacks, Shakespeare, Terry Pratchett, Carl Jung, H.P. Lovecraft, Douglas Adams, C.S. Lewis, Orson Scott Card, George R.R. Martin, David Simon, Richard Dawkins, Robert Jordan (RIP), J.R. Tolkien.

What was it about creating something that millions of people loved that made you decide it needed to be changed?), The Departed, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Psycho, The Dark Crystal.
Horror tends to be my favorite genre.

B-2)Series: Cowboy Bebop, The Wire, Venture Bros., Metalocalypse, Six Feet Under, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Game of Thrones, Archer, Berserk, Robot Chicken, The Shield, ReGenesis, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, MPFC (Monty Python's Flying Circus...although I don't know why I just abbreviated that if I was just going to spell it out afterwords).

I should probably be worried about how much of my existence has been spent controlling pixelated avatars but I enjoy it way to much to stress about it.

C)Music: Techno, Rock, Jazz,& Classical for the most part. Really dig Ben Folds, Tori Amos, Miles Davis, Sounds from the Ground, Juno Reactor, Tool, NIN, Interpol, Gogol Bordello, Guster, Sublime, Pink Floyd, Claude Debussey, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden, Johnny Cash, Nick Drake, Charles Mingus, Placebo, Chopin, Alice in Chains, Led Zepplin, Astral Projection, Deftones, Cake, VAST, Bob Marley, Antonín Dvořák, Vibrosphere, Smashing Pumpkins, STP, Jimmy Hendrix, & tons of other stuff. Music is the sound of the soul, or at least it would be if I had one. I've had an odd obsession with bluegrass recently.

D)Food: Brrraaaaaiiiinnnnssss...and pretty much everything else. I like to cook. Kitchen alchemy. :)

My hands. My eyes. My tongue. My ears. My nose. And of course...you. Because without you, I have no one to share the rest of my sensory input with.

This question makes my head hurt.

Chillin. Gaming. Drinking with friends. Figuring out new ways to get into trouble.

I'll give you a few.
I have OCD. This is not a self-diagnosis. It makes me a bit hard to deal with sometimes. I do my best to not let it affect my relationships and I think I'm more than worth the aggravation, but YMMV.
I try my best to be a good person (and occasionally fail miserably), but I'm not a very NICE person. I tend to be brutally honest.
I have absolutely no game. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it's a true thing.
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

There's not a whole lot that I consider private in my life, which is only semi-conscious on my part. Ask me anything and I'm libel to say the first thing that comes into my mind...apparently someone forgot to install a filter between my brain and my mouth. You know that part of you that's like "I should just keep that to myself?" Yeah, I don't have one of those.

- You're an intelligent and attractive woman who would like to meet up and see if we like each other.
- You have some skill or item(s) you would be interested in trading for a massage by a licensed therapist (8 years now). I like to barter for things when possible.
- We have a very high match percentage, or a very low one. Either should make for an interesting conversation.
- You play role-playing games and want to join a group. We play with a number of different systems, genres, and specific game worlds.
- Ya got something pressing on your mind.
- You'd like to have an intelligent conversation about something that interests you a great deal.
- You have something absolutely worthless to tell me.
- You have nothing better to do.
- The Force is strong with you.
- You have a burning need for your brains to liquefy and come running out of your nose.
- You're an incredibly gorgeous woman who for some odd reason thinks I'm sex on a stick just from seeing my pic and reading a couple vague paragraphs about me and you want take me away to your tropical island retreat where we'll spend an entire month making love that shakes the foundations of the earth until you tire of me and decide that you'd like to sell my kidneys on the black market and I'll have to make a daring escape in the process defeating your entire private army and legion of mutant tiger/anteaters and swim back to America and walk back to Ohio and promptly be woken up by Auntie Emm who tells me it was all a dream and tries to convince me that there's no place like home but I don't believe her because this is the THIRD TIME THIS WEEK that crazy bitch has put LSD in my oatmeal...Actually girls, I settle for you being attractive (to me), intelligent, open minded, and willing to put up with all of my oddities.
