Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

At the risk of presenting a laundry list of what I am...here's a bit about me...

I am an intelligent woman who has a wide range of interests.

I am a voracious reader, I love watching all sorts of movies, and I enjoy nature.

I am an environmentalist. I recycle and pay close attention to how I treat the earth.

I am a big fan of John Mayer and would love to find someone who has the same level of admiration for him.

I have a few close friends whose company I enjoy, but I also like attending small parties and discussing ideas and politics with different personalities.

I am a writer. I write blogs that reflect my life and thoughts. I also write poetry on occasion. I would like to eventually make a living by writing fiction.

I'm not a religious person, but I am open to almost any type of religion as long as the person doesn't try to force it on me. I respect all types of life and strongly disapprove of any prejudice including jokes that may seem harmless to the person telling it.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

staying at home taking care of my baby...yeah, that's pretty much an all day thing...

I'm really good at Propose an edit

a lot of things. If I find something challenging, I usually work until I master it.

I think I'm a fairly decent writer; I've had compliments on my blogs.

I can knit, crochet, cross-stitch (all the cute girly things.)

Personality-wise, I'm really good at listening and giving people the benefit of the doubt. I'm good at treating a person fairly, and I think I'm pretty good at putting a person at ease. No need to pretend with me; I tend to appreciate your good qualities while allowing that everyone has his faults.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I think the comment I've heard the most is that people tend to notice that I'm quiet and seem shy. I am quiet when I don't know a person, but that's generally because I'm checking out the situation and determining how best to go about starting a conversation. But once I start, you'll find I'm a fairly good conversationalist : )

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I have several favorites of all of the above, but to keep it simple, I'll just list three of each (we can discuss more in person : )

Books:

*the Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (technically this is a children's book, but you'd be amazed at how deep a children's book can be)

*Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins (incredible scene at the end explaining the meaning of life)

*Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stobbard (technically a play, but once again, chock-full of interesting philosophical insights)

Movies:

*the Wedding Singer (all time favorite, a goofy romantic comedy, but I love it because it's every girl's dream to have a song written for her : )

*Clue (it always amazes me when someone hasn't seen this movie considering my siblings and I grew up on it and know every single line by heart - "to make a long story short" "too late")

*Lost in Translation (this is probably the most real and true to life movie I've ever seen)

Music:

*John Mayer (There are only a few artists whose entire library can be considered as a favorite...he's one)

*Jill Sobule (she's the other)

*a few mix CD's I named "Songs I Don't Skip Over Vol One & Two" (meaning my iPod was sick of playing these) on which you'll find such masterpieces as "Superman" - Five for Fighting, "Stay" - Shakespeare's Sister, "Postal Blowfish" - Guided By Voices, "Near You Always" - Jewel, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, "Hey Ya" - Outkast, "Let It Be Me" - Indigo Girls, & "I Believe" - Blessid Union of Souls

Food:

*salmon

*Chinese

*Mexican

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

my children (They're my everything, and I miss them terribly when I'm not with them)

my cell phone (I can't stand not being available)

John Mayer's music (I have a long complicated explanation to this : )

my library (I tend to reread my favorite books until I know them by heart)

my friends (Corny, I know)

honesty (Life's too short to play games)

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

how to fix the things about myself that bug me

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

geeking it up by chatting with my online friends on a Myspace page devoted to John Mayer and his music

(well, you asked)

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I have John Mayer playing cards (and I can kick your ass with them at Texas Hold'em)

You should message me if Propose an edit

you don't have a problem with a woman who already has children who take up a lot of her time

you don't mind getting to know me slowly before asking for my phone number

you don't mind talking with a woman whose life might seem chaotic at first glance but is only chaotic on an interesting level
