My self-summary Propose an edit
My husband hacksoncode and I are polyamorous. We
are interested in adding more people to our lives. We are
relatively flexible, and like to be supportive of our friends and
lovers.
I like to go new places, and try new things. I am not afraid to do
things spontaneously. I have been known to suggest going to
Yosemite for the weekend with a couple of hours' notice. I like
riding behind someone on a motorcycle, throwing a frisbee, going
Geocaching, and taking photos. I'd love to learn more about
photography.
I retired from Cisco Systems some years ago, and now I'm
self-employed. I work as a DJ, mostly. I also own my own soap
business, and have held various jobs in Second Life.
I get a lot of positive feedback about my voice, which is one of
the reasons I decided to pursue a job as a DJ.
I don't do petulant very well. If I have an idea, and it's not what
you want to do, rather than pout, I'd rather negotiate. Some of the
best times I've had have been when I didn't get what I wanted. (Now
that's food for thought.) If I need something, I tend to speak up
and ask for it.
What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit
I get a real lift out of making others' lives better. I love being
a DJ for that reason: when I know someone is having a cruddy day, I
choose their favorite music and put it on the air.
I'm also the mom to two sons. They are so much fun! We do science
experiments together, art projects together, and they travel very
well.
I have a new Internet radio station, which I'm enjoying working
with. I also do a lot of hosting and customer service for a major
entertainment company within Second Life. I love it. Being able to
solve problems and make people happy makes my day.
I'm also recovering nicely from some sort of chronic fatigue thing
that I had after my sons were born. Nobody was able to figure out
what it was, but finally, I have plenty of energy! I have been
toning my muscles, and doing aerobic exercise (walking, bicycling)
and am slimming down. Patient activity partners would be wonderful,
and just think, you can take credit for part of the transformation.
I'm really good at Propose an edit
Seeing a need and filling it. I tend to do things like sending tea
to sick friends, sending chocolate to depressed friends,
volunteering at my sons' schools, etc. I also get a lot of positive
feedback about my radio shows.
I'm not sure you would classify me as being really great at
anything except maybe parenting and quilting. However, I know how
to get things done, which can be very powerful. Knowing who to ask,
and bartering my time and effort for theirs, has been useful many
times in my life.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit
Maybe my smile, or the fact that I make eye contact?
Thing is, I'm not that impressive when you first meet me. I'm sort
of like a little fieldmouse - plump and not very glamorous.
But I find that those who take the time and trouble to get to know
me generally find it's worth the effort. The sensual and playful
sides of my personality come out, and I encourage my partner to let
the sensual and playful sides of his personality out, as well.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit
I once had a boyfriend say that anyone who dated him had to like
this particular book, and I hated it. :( So, I'm not nuts about
this kind of question.
I think it's fair to say I'm openminded. I do love to read, watch
movies, and am heavily into music. I like variety. I prefer to mix
it up, and explore various genres. The nice thing about that is
that if you just can't stand one type of music, I have lots of
other stuff to listen to.
Food-wise, I like pretty much anything, but am allergic to bell
peppers and cilantro.
The six things I could never do without Propose an edit
love, my family, chocolate, music, books, yarn
I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit
Fun things to do, my businesses, my friends, and you.
On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit
thinking about fun and/or sensual things to do with my partner,
then trying them.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit
People who have taken the time to get to know me are generally
pleasantly surprised.
You should message me if Propose an edit
Message me if you want to. I am happy to hear from you if you have
anything positive to say. Or, if you think I can answer a question
you have. If you're not sure whether or not to message me, please
feel free. Then you'll know: you will either be glad you did, or
not. ;)
