If anything is nearly impossible to find in Jacksonville, it's love. Not even Jacksonville, I've tried dating guys I'd have to travel hours to see. Still, it doesn't seem to work. What I want is simple, to have a relationship where both people put in equal effort, and I'm certainly looking for something that is as long-term as it can be. I want to find the person that makes a hard day worthwhile, who I can be eloquent and intelligent with. I don't believe that you have to have another person complete your life, that you can't live without a partner. But, it isn't pleasant to be alone. Conversation is the way to my heart. I love to know about people, their complexities, and eccentricities.

I work a pretty cool job, I present my work at a lot of local art shows and art walks and galleries. I have movie nights with friends, I'm trying to finish a novel. It's not going so well.

Piano, photography, writing, politics, philosophy, history, humor.

People usually say they noticed something about my personality, apparently I'm easy to read.

Food : I'm diverse with this. I really like things I haven't tried.

Let's assume that air, water, etc. are already provided for.

1. Music.

2. The potential for great romance.

3. I can't do without making artwork, playing piano, etc. An outlet is required.

4. Physical touch, when in a relationship, I become affectionate.

5. I think I need friends, a social life. I'm not sure if I'd go insane without it though. I think if I were on an island with a partner, I'd be fine.

6. I'd probably want some form of physical satisfaction, were I to be stranded on an island. I mean, I've spent most of my life being entirely celibate outside of relationships, because I've been saving it, or whatever. So it would be kind of lame to be stranded without even that.

Spirituality, science, metaphysics, psychology, I like swimming in questions unanswered. Debating something that may not even exist isn't pointless.

I probably just got off work, and am hanging out with friends, or reading, or bored.

I don't have a lot of private things, and I definitely don't have secrets. I know everyone is supposed to, but I find them to be boring. Oh, I know. When I was little, I had terrible taste. I'm talking Hanson and Alanis Morissette and Pokemon cartoons.

If you have a keyboard.
