I would best be described as an extroverted introvert with extremely varied interests and an insatiable curiosity for the intricacies of life. Okay, maybe I'm just an extrovert that has introvert tendencies ... Whateve

Things I'd like to do (this summer, hopefully) with another person:
Camping
Canoeing/rafting
Golf
Tennis
Hiking
Fishing
Movie marathon (w/ cuddles AND popcorn)
Dance my ass off at a music festival
Photo scavenger hunt

Things I like to do by myself:
Sleep
Read
Masturbate
(Guess which one I do the most? Nope, not that one. Guess again.)

Why am I single?
I want more intimacy and connection than one can have in a "cutty buddy" arrangement, but commitment scares me (really, the forever part).

Additionally, it's hard to find someone who isn't intimidated by my intelligence. The guys I find are either not willing to "go there" with me or throw a hissy fit when I challenge them on that level.

Also, I find that guys have a hard time dealing with my sexual appetite with the respect it deserves. I like to fuck. I'm very particular about whom I like to fuck. I take great pleasure in my own sensuality. If you can't handle that with respect, then keep it moving.

This used to say some shit about becoming the female version of Michael Eric Dyson (that blowhard) ... That definitely says a lot about how long ago I created this profile because now we have one of those ... Oh, Melissa Harris Perry! Her speech impediment is so much cuter than his,too (Come on with the iambic pentameter already, Dyson!)

I'm a recent grad from the most pretentious school in the area. History and anthro-nerd. I work at a boutique project management and strategic marketing firm and we do lots of cool stuff with museums and non-profits.

The only other thing I'm doing with my life (definitely the most important thing I'm doing with my life) is raising my daughter.

reading, talking, dancing, acting foolish, correcting people, telling long drawn out (sometimes humorous)stories, scooping ice cream, laughing at myself and others, providing people with useless facts, finding stuff that OTHER people lose, losing my own stuff, and kissing etc.

I feel like there's an elephant in the room and I have to acknowledge it before we can move on so let me just get this off of ...

my CHEST.

Is that the first thing that most people notice about me? Probably.

But I've also gotten ...

"I noticed your smile/eyes/pretty face/laughter."

books:

N.K. JEMISIN!!!!!!!!

Do you know how some people on here have obnoxiously long music lists? well i could totally bust out an obnoxious book list.

honestly? i'm a grade-A BOOK NERD.

I will read anything: romance, sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, about vampires/werewolves/fairies (yes Charlaine Harris of TrueBlood fame, and even that sad sad Twilight series), some manga (I prefer to just watch the anime series though), and most popular fiction.

And now for the obnoxious book list ...

roll of thunder hear my cry, the very hungry caterpillar, where the wild things are, matilda, happy to be nappy, memoirs of a geisha, eragon, firestarter, along came a spider etc., the bluest eye, roots, amistad, little women etc, angus thongs and full frontal snogging, the princess bride, anne of green gables, tess of the d'ubervilles, pride and prejudice, america (the book): a citzen's guide to democracy inaction, the odyssey, things fall apart . . . okay I can't take it anymore.

my favorite authors are:
Tanarive Due, J.K. Rowling, Karen Marie Moning, George R.R. Martin, Jasper Fforde, Jean M. Auel, Edgar Allan Poe

movies

Despicable Me, Toy Story 3, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, Meet the Fockers, The Natural Born Killers, Kill Bill Volume all of them, Johnny Depp being creepy/sexy, the original Drunken Master with Jackie Chan (really anything with Jackie Chan), The One, Rayearth, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, All of the Star Trek movies (the last one was banging! mostly because of Spock's hot ass, though) Madagascar 2, Stranger Than Fiction, Borat , Sixth Sense ( M. Night Shyamalan is Hot except he completely fucked up The Last Airbender), The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Hang 'em High, A Mule for Sister Sarah, Fifth Element, BOONDOCK SAINTS (the second one wasn't as good as the first ... i think it was the absence of Smecker AND Rocko) ...

I'm going to be honest (again) and say that I rarely get to see movies (let's take a minute to cry about this). It will be more helpful for me to list all of the movies I'd LIKE to see:
The Godfather
Pulp Fiction (and various other Tarantino movies)
Deep foreign films with subtitles and awkward sex scenes
Something about sunshine and a spotless mind
Brokeback Millionaire
I saw the Dark Knight but I need to see it again
Beautiful Mind
Fight Club

music:

i'm one of those people you see when you're driving who is dancing and singing along to their music. I LOVE MUSIC. I don't know if I can stress that enough. Everyday I hear a new type of music that I want to explore--a new artist I want to invite to make love to my ears.

Despite my love for music, I don't know that much about it (even with a music theory class under my belt)

When I want to dance I listen to: go-go, crunk, reggaeton, salsa, samba, rap, Diplo and dubstep, and pop.

When I'm driving, I like to listen to music I can sing along to: Prince, Jilly from Philly, Adele, Coldplay, Mumford, Florence and the Machine, Bublé ...

Thanks to Guitar Hero/Rock Band and my big brother I'm starting to get into Rock music and Metal ... still trying to figure out how to dance to this shit though ...

I LOVE QUEEN!!!

When I want to hear music ABOUT something I like neo-soul and hip hopCommon, Jill Scott, Kanye West, John Legend, Busta RhymesMos Def, Talib Kweli,

Then, of course, there are the classics: Prince, Parliment Funk, Earth,Wind, and Fire, Smokey Robinson, the Temptations, Chaka Khan and Rufus, Rick James

other folks: Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Rare Essence, the Backyard Band, Corinne Bailey Rae, Missy Elliot (whatever happened to this chick?), Timbaland, LL Cool J.......

foods: im originally from md...so i looooooooove seafood. crabcakes....gumbo.....shrimp I'm also a pretty decent cook (like, really a lot more than decent)

How to start a self sustaining commune/alternative family without getting categorized as a cult by the US government and assassinated.

reading a good book or dancing like a crazed person to shitty music with my black girl.

1.) I'm a complete geek.

2.)When I see folks spell things the "British" way (ie. Favourite, realise, colour), instead of thinking, "gee, it must suck that y'all are still under the thumb of British colonialism." I think, "gee, it must suck to always have to type that extra letter in 'humor'.

1.) You can refrain from mentioning my breasts or your penis

and

2.) You noticed that I said "brokeback millionaire" instead of "brokeback mountain" And you'd like to correct me.
