Hi. I'm Zack. I want to meet new people, have some adventures, and find someone wonderful to spend my life...whether short or long-term. I went online because I have a strange work schedule that cuts me off from the rest of the world, and because it seems nobody gets out of their house anymore. I would love to use this piece of technology to anal-retentively find somebody PERFECTLY compatible and similar to me, but I also know that could potentially prove boring, as I am interested in/attracted to people with unique passions and views on life. So, compatibility isn't necessarily a must...

I'm an intense person who loves to get things done and with perfection, but when it involves others, I'm totally laid back and supportive. I seldom get angry, and rarely does it affect other people. I'm pretty shy and introverted in general, but I absolutely need to have time hanging out with friends and I'm not a fan of being alone for long periods of time. I like having people around, even of I'm doing my own thing. I like the idea of roommates and communal living...
I spend as much of my time as I can laughing, and have developed a pretty good wit about me. I try to make others laugh as much as possible and build people up when I can. I hate assholes and mean-spirited people. I don't like hipocrites, fake people, and ignorance.
I love politics, and hope to continue actively do my part to improve our society and our world. I love animals. I have great compassion for most anybody and anything, and I don't mind speaking my mind to those who don't. If you can't get along, you can't play :). I've been a bit of a push-over in the past, but I've begun to follow a more polite version of a "take-no-shit" code. I like standing up for other good people who get un-deservingly trampled. I get an insane rush from it...
I live for music, play guitar and drums, and work to improve myself...physically, mentally, ad spiritually. In the coming years, I plan to travel extensively, have as much fun as possible, and then think about getting married and starting a family.
I don't like sports and I don't hunt. Kind-of random, but important info to some...

I'm looking for a kind, hard-working, compassionate, good girl with a sense of humor and even temperament. Someone I can rely on 100% and has my back, and is deserving of all the effort and sacrifice I put into the people I care about. I'm not into high-maintenance, nor total Tomboys (god, there was NOTHING for me in Alaska...so much FLANNEL and CAMO --shiver--) something in between would be lovely. Bubbly personality a plus. Open mind, morals and ethics a must. Similar musical taste a bonus. Must tolerate a moderate amount of Metal, cats, goofiness, and frequent jokes/smart-ass remarks. If you play an instrument or sing...or enjoy baking pastries, I am willing to make sacrifices... :)

P.S. If meeting in-person isn't a serious possibility for you, there is no need to message me. I'd rather not waste your and my time, as I don't see the point in all of this otherwise :)

I'm planning my move back from Alaska in May, and working a 3-week on/3-week off schedule on an oil field near Prudhoe Bay, doing NDT. I've been spending much of my free-time back in Minnesota, and can't wait to be a Minnesotan again. I plan on having many adventures out and about and taking many road-trips over the next two years...

I spend much of my free-time at work playing guitar, working out, and reading. When I'm home, I love to go to the gym, watch movies, go to concerts, and hang out with friends.

I'm really good at cleaning and organizing. I'm pretty witty and am good at making people laugh. I'm also a pretty good guitar player, and I've ALWAYS got something to talk about...from politics, history, music, or stupid trivia. I'm an information sponge, and a perfect "Phone-A-Friend"...

My physique, as I've gotten in pretty good shape in the past years. I'm also very polite and shy until I've got a good read on/am comfortable with someone, then I go out of my way to make people laugh ad get a rise out of them. I have a loud, contagious laugh, am trustworthy, and can be overpowering force-to-be-reckoned with on a dance floor (good and bad, depending on the situation :)

Cats
Guitar/Music
Weights
A Big TV
Comedy
Family/Good friends

Politics, music, love, adventure, vacations, comedy, recycling, animals, natural processes, Space exploration, power chords, guitars, how much I detest the Kardashians, social issues, cookies, global warming, and bettering society. Also cats.

Working in AK, or when I'm in MN, I'm out drinking/dancing, hanging out with good friends, or heading to a show. Maybe some fishing or bike riding in the summer, enjoying the rural outdoors...

I contemplate looking into dance lessons. Sara McLachlan animal commercials get to me.
I dream of having a Meat Loaf/Metallica cover-band.
The movie "UP" actually made me tear-up. That movie is incredible...

First, if you don't mind my schedule...being totally available 3 weeks at a time and then gone for the same. If you have anything to share. I'm happy to hear if we have something cool in common or if I come across as a total douche. I'm sure there are enough creepers and douches on this site the way it is...I don't want to be unfairly lumped into THAT crowd.

However, if any of the following applies to you, we MAY not work out. Nothing personal. Good luck to you :)

-Passionate about Country Music
-Extremely "Patriotic"
-Have Children
-Conservative or Republican
-Extreme love of Sports or Hunting
-You describe yourself as a "Diva"
-Enjoy personal drama/addicted to reality TV
-If you talk like/carry yourself like a Kardashian
