***Taking a break from this site for a while. Please don't message.***

***I'm very interested in someone. No need to message.***

I'm Fox. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, Her Foxness, or uh, Foxer, or El Foxerino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

People tell me I have high standards. That's probably true.

I was recently checking my inbox and an advert for "Wet" lube popped up. I blew soda all over my keyboard as I read aloud, "SEX NEVER TASTED SO GOOD." I can honestly say, I've never associated 'taste' and 'sex.' Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I generally date men that are 10-20 years older than me.
I generally date women that are within 5 years of my own age in either direction.
That being said, if you are a 25 year old male or a 30 year old female, chances are I'm not interested.

Sometimes, I sing songs.

I think it's *cute* when people ramble. :)

I will not be impressed by the shoes you wear or the car you drive. I don't give a damn about your money or your job. I am not the typical materialistic girl out of a magazine. I appreciate your honesty more than your paycheck. I don't care if you make $100 an hour or $100 a month, so long as you're respectable. I don't agree with arrogance, and frankly, I don't think arrogance agrees with me, either (we used to be friends, but it's over now). I will be more affected by how you act, not what you say. Integrity is key.

I am drug-free. I am looking for the same.

Let me lay it down for you:

I shake my milk before I pour it. I do not wear matching socks. Ever. I love kung-fu and Orson Welles films. I prefer black ink to blue. I’d rather sit than stand, even if I say otherwise. I don't finish books. I have a big soft spot for cute nerds and pc gamers. I don't believe in gender binaries. I am not afraid to let you know when you're wrong. I have already got the number one woman in my life, and NO ONE will change that. I prefer fiddles AND violins. I have friends, and all of them are my best friends. I put hot sauce on almost everything before I eat it. I sing louder than the music. I prefer to be by someone's side, neither ahead nor behind. I enjoy everything from garage bands to opera to bluegrass. I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong. I don't follow politics, don't try to talk to me about it. I read books; not magazines. I like the colors red and yellow, but not orange. I will let you win the first few games. I enjoy a nice bottle of root beer with my meals. I compulsively check my e-mail. At least 10 times an hour. I went to school for graphic design and culinary arts. I go out of my way to make people smile. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I cook a mean steak dinner. I find comfort in touch, not words. I don't know who I am right now. I am not a feminist, a rioter, a revolutionist, or a leader.

I AM MY OWN PERSON, AND IF THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, THEN YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME EITHER.

Also, I have a myspace.

UPDATE:

I wore matching socks on May 30, 2008. It was so strange.

I don't accept those quiver matches, really. I think I've accepted maybe 5 since they started, and none of that went anywhere. Jerks.

Talking to some wonderful people that make me smile, and moving forward in life.

I don't like to make goals, because I think they keep your mind off of the little things; the important things. I don't know what I am doing with my life other than living it, day by day, minute by minute.

I have 4 pythons named Novi, Du Barry, Serafin, and Petrov. They are my babies. They get priority over you. They will get more kisses than you. They will spend a lot more time with me than you.

Keeping promises, remembering names, saying the wrong thing at the right time, making an ass out of myself, and discussing things that strike my interest. Also, dancing to no music, making people smile or laugh, and generally lifting one's spirits by pointing out the good side of any situation. I’m a total optimist, so it's hard to not smile around me. Engaging large populations of people in impromptu singing or dancing.

Smiling.

Dancing.

Laughing.

Making faces.

Exclamation Points!

...and arguing semantics.

**I have a REALLY hard time faking enthusiasm**

I'm not as awesome as I put myself out to be.

My hair. I’m constantly changing it, and I’m often approached by strangers full of compliments on my hair. Hopefully one day I’ll make a career out of it, instead of just free cuts and colors for friends and family.

I also smile too much for my own good. I’ve been told that it's contagious. Watch out!

I dance. All of the time. I’m usually smiling whilst dancing. Or laughing. I have, on more than one occasion, coaxed complete strangers into dancing with me like an idiot in random public places.

I’m forward. I’m not afraid of stereotypes or breaking them.

I read a lot of outdated text books and Kurt Vonnegut. I’ve
also been known to dabble in the words of Ayn Rand. I was named
after her, after all. I tend to read books by older authors. You
know, the dead ones. It's the only kind of fiction I can stand. I
also have a bookshelf dedicated to philosophy, one for psychology,
and one for sociology. The comics I keep in my bedroom. They're
mine, not yours. I’ve also got an extensive collection of cook
books that I sometimes read for fun.

I’ll find pretty much any movie enjoyable. some of my favorites
are: The Big Lebowski, Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, Amelie,
The Princess Bride, A Clockwork Orange, Tank Girl, Mad Max, Blues
Brothers, Office Space, The Usual Suspects, The Lion King, Benny
& June, Citizen Kane, American History X,
Big Trouble in Little China, Poolhall Junkies, Snatch, The Hawk is
Dying, City of Lost Children, Mommie Dearest, The Lost Boys, SLC
Punk, Papillion, Ghost World, Primal Fear and pretty much anything
with David Tennant, Orson Welles, Bruce Campbell, Tim
Robbins, John Cusack, Jeff Daniels, Sam Elliot,
Morgan Freeman, Jackie Chan, or Jet Li.

You can also check out my lastfm for what I've been listening to recently, or overall in the past few years.

I’ll eat anything. I especially enjoy Thai, Greek, Italian, Sushi and Sashimi, and Germanic foods. I'm kind of a foodie. It comes with the heritage, I guess. Also my culinary experience has opened my taste buds to a variety of amazing dishes. Things that most people would never try if they only knew what was in it. I was a vegetarian for nine years and a vegan for roughly two. I am very well rounded on my tastes.

Also, I like baseball- specifically, the Rockies and the Red Sox, and football- specifically, the Broncos and the Steelers. This is not to say that I am a die-hard fan of any of those teams. I love them, yes, but I do not reaaaally feel like listening to you rant about how your team is better than my team(s). It just doesn't interest me. To be honest, I can probably only name a handful of the players that even play anymore. :( That makes me sad, but over time I have lost a lot of interest in sports. But I do love those Tinmen and Donkies!

This belongs in here, I think... There's just not a section for favourite writings:

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender,be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,even to the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons;they are vexatious to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain or bitter,for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

"Desiderata"

-Max Ehrmann

Smiling, dancing, love, sex, intellectual stimulation, and good company.

This is more like a list of my favourite things. I’m not a materialistic person at all, so I don't know how to answer this question, really. I’d like to think I could reduce life's complexities down to six ideas, but it's just not that simple.

My contributions to the world around me. What I'm doing to make a difference, and whether my actions have a positive or negative affect on not only my immediate environment, but rather to my life or the lives of others.

What if when we're dead, we are just dead? What if it's just us down here? What if God isn't looking down? ...what if he's looking up instead?

A lot of people live life as if they are being tested. Constantly looking over their shoulder to make sure someone sees them doing the right thing, or no one sees them doing wrong. I am constantly trying to figure out why everyone is, for the most part, self-motivated in these sorts of behaviors. I like to imagine a world where people do the right thing merely because it's right, not because it will advance them further along in their own lives. We're all guilty of it, and it's not necessarily such a bad thing. I just wonder what it would be like to live solely based on others, and not ourselves.

There's no such thing as "typical" with me.

I can tell you this much, though- you won't find me at a bar or a club. You won't find me passed out on someone's couch from too much booze, but you *may* find me at home snuggled up on the couch watching old black and white films in a robe and curlers in my hair. Except without the robe and curlers in my hair bit. That would be weird.

I'm looking for someone similar. No nightlife in mylife. At least, not as a routine. I'm not opposed to going out every now and again.

I'm hard of hearing. That's not to say I'm completely deaf, but I do wear a hearing aid. I don't know much sign language, and I probably won't need to for quite a while. I look and sound like anyone else on the street, my hearing aid is completely unnoticeable unless you already know it's there. I am hearing impaired. I am not mute. That being said, I do ask 'What?' a lot, and I may not hear you all together if I don't see you. If you can't accept that, then you're not accepting me, and I don't need you in my life.

I also have Tourette Syndrome. I don't scream obscenities or any recognizable words, but I do have tics that may be laughable. It's OKAY if you laugh, it makes it less awkward.

My walls are covered in comic book posters. I have thirteen geek tattoos. I am in love with Captain Marvel.

I can solve a 3x3 rubik's cube on the first try, within 2 minutes.

Also, I'm a natural red-head, and a prude.

I like a good boy/girl with a naughty side, not the other way around.

You are any of the following:

Someone who dances in the rain and sings to no music. Someone who writes what they feel and says what they think. Someone who can laugh at the small things and take care of the bigger things. Someone who doesn't take life too seriously.

A poet or a scientist. A doctor or a lawyer. A cowboy or a rock star. A housewife or a musician. An actor or a sculptor. A bohemian or a yuppie. A loser or a winner. A brother or a sister. A mathematician or a painter. A mother or a father. Among the dead or the living.

•you have no intentions of actually engaging in a conversation that doesn't have to do with your penis or my tits.

•you don't like kids. I’ve got a daughter, and she is my world.
