I am Over-educated, Opinionated, and Easily amused.
My Self-Summary
I like walks on the beach and getting caught in the rain ....
seriously, though, I hate writing these things. I also dislike the
beach except in winter and I don't particularly like getting wet.
I'm an over-educated east-coast liberal with an art history degree,
a library science degree, a decent sense of humor and a wish to
find someone to talk to and hold onto. I'm into
art,
museums,
quilting,
reading,
flea markets,
bookstores,
classic movies, and evenings
at home. However, with the right person, I can be as adventurous as
the next gal. I also hate the word "gal," but "honey" and "darlin'"
are all right with me.
I'll admit it: I'm looking for love. I'm looking to share my life
with someone and be part of his, not just be the woman he calls
once in a while when he remembers he has a girlfriend.
I've been thinking about what else to say about myself. I dislike
looking at pictures of guys because it doesn't tell you anything
about them. I prefer a word-picture. However, I realize that looks
are indeed important, so let me indulge my art historian side and
tell you what I look like.
I am Rubenesque. No, seriously, I am not using it as a euphemism
for fat, but in terms of what his women really look like. I am not
so tall or statuesque as his beauties, I have slightly larger
breasts, and my skin isn't so pink. I'm thinking specifically of
the painting "The Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus." I am also
not blond.
Was that sufficiently pedantic while being a tad titillating? Or am
I trying too hard to be unconventional? Write me and let me know.
What I’m doing with my life
Teaching SAT Prep at a public high school, but I'd rather be
working in an academic library. I'm not terribly ambitious.
I have one dream, though: to go to Scotland someday during the
annual arts festival in August to see the Edinburgh Tattoo.
Currently, I am a member of Six Guns and Shady Ladies, a wild west
re-enactment group. We get to shoot people. A lot. And wear cool
costumes. I love to sew,and I am in the process of creating an
entire wardrobe. Check out my pictures!
I’m really good at
Jigsaw puzzles and public speaking. Worrying about things. Worrying
about loved ones.
The first things people usually notice about me

The six things I could never do without
Books, the internet, cats, TV, a comfortable bed, love.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
This month it's long distance relationships. There are so few
single men in El Paso, and I'm not just saying that. While Austin
is right up there in the top 10, El Paso never even makes the list.
So now that I've exhausted all my local possibilities from OKC,
it's time to start looking farther afield. There are so many great
possibilities on this site, but so few people are willing to do
that whole LDR thing, including me. Which is silly. I married the
last guy I met that way. Took a while to actually meet, but
patience is a virtue, so they say.
On a typical Friday night I am
Home watching TV. Or something even more pathetic. But I'm willing
to go out. Dinner? Dancing? Movies? A cafe? A walk in the park? All
sound better than my "typical" Friday nights.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Like I'm going to post it online! Please.
You should message me if
You want to.
However, DO NOT IM ME! I hate instant messaging!!! If I'm online
I'm DOING something, ok?
