You may think that because I am neither here nor there on alot of things and have very varied that I dont know who I am. Nothing is further from the truth.

The Pros: I'm loyal, I have a good since of humor. I like animals, I like to go out, but don't mid staying in. I eat relatively healthfully. I'm open minded. I like can appreciate geekery (to a certain extent), I'm a Trekkie. I can Sew. I can dance. I can garden. I can use power tools. I have my own friends. I don't need to be constantly entertained. I don't hate sports (but if you're a 24/7 sports center guy, please press back now). I'm not materialistic. I wont smother you. Im not terribly jealous. I'm not a big flirt. I don't mind getting dirty. I've got a wild streak. I pay attention to fashion, though I don't dress like it. I'd like to travel.

I never wouldve thought to put this on here, but I've noticed other people have so ...I'm fascinated by invertebrate, cephlaopods in particular.
I don't throw around the L word.

The Cons: If I don't feel something for someone when I first meet them
it isn't likely that I will. I'm very trusting but once trust is lost it is not likely to be regained. I hold grudges, though I don't hate anyone. Though I can be indecisive about some things, my thoughts on many others are resolute and I can be quite stubborn about them. I'm fairly inexperienced in love and sex, but I've had my heart broken, among other things. I dont have a drives licence.
I don't actually dislike cats, but I'm allergic to them :(

I am intense, artistic, and cantankerous

Im in the incessant process of trying to decided who I want to be and what I want to do with my life. I have all of these unrelated goals: to be an accomplished artist; a caterer/event planner; a real estate agent-turned-mogul; to get into agriculture, and to travel the world. Ideally I'd find someway to make all of those happen at some point in my life, but trying to figure out how has thus far been mind boggling.

Going from one crappy job to the next.

Drawing, painting, cooking, styling OTHER people, getting lost, procrastinating, embarrassing myself, making lame jokes, giving dirty looks, mixing things, being awkward. mediating, mediating, dropping out of school,
being empathetic, reading peoples body language, seduction, singing.

My hair. My eyes. My Ethiopian heritage. The fact that I "sound white" which I find rather offensive. That I do or don't look like my mom and sister. That I look older or younger than my age. That I'm not smiling or how nice my smile is.

Love

Life. Pseudosciences, parapsychology, metaphysics. Science fiction, especially: other dimensions, alternate realties, inter-dimensional and time travel. Magic, astral projection, spirits. Eastern wisdom and natural medicine. Mythology, religion, ritual practices. Whether my faith is appropriately placed.The origin of mankind. The apocalypse, (generally trying to convince myself that there wont be one). Whether humanity deserves to exist. Whether sciences are actually explanations or merely excuses for the unexplainable. What love is and how relationships are supposed to work. My cultural and ethnic heritage. Genetics. Bio Chemistry. Agriculture. Mixing things: paints, foods, songs, styles, fragrances, etc. How to be more confident, active, creatively productive, and social. How to be less fearful, self-depreciating, and anxious.

A. At home on the computer, creating something, or watching TV.
B. Out with my friends.
C. Sound asleep.

I like playing Munchkin and Magic, though I don't currently have a deck.

You want to.
You aren't sure if you want to.
You think we might be made for each other.
You think we'd be good friends.
You like to play dress up and want to help bring the girly girl back out of me.
You want to go into business, catering, or doing any art or desgin related thing.
You think you might be able to teach me something. (I meant that in a totally innocent way.)
You've seen that I've stalked your page and want to tell me off for not being ballsy enough to message you.

DO NO MESSAGE ME IF:
You only want to know what its like to date a black girl, (thats kinda racist and I am not the stereotype)
You want a hook up.
You want to preach to me about ANYTHING.
You have a problem with Jew's, Pagan's, interracial relationships, or meat eaters.
