I believe I am awesome, which does not really confirm much apart from my exceptional taste and character judgment. I am fun, and I love to laugh. I view getting to know people as a very important facet of life; relationships and people are important factors in everything we do. The people closest to me would probably confirm all of this. Also, I am the eternal optimist.

I really love to travel; I have grand plans to travel the world and the country, some of which I have already fulfilled. I also want to learn many languages. I already speak a bit of French, but I really need to practice. I have also recently started learning Swedish.
I think that where I live in Northern Arizona is so beautiful, and it is a shame I have not explored it fully. I would love to see everything the world has to offer.

I hate computers and technology. I know how to use them because of school, but I avoid them in my personal life as much as possible.

I love knitting and sewing, but I am not great at either of them. I just like the thought of my clothes being made in America. I also love starting with quality materials and putting my soul into them until they become a unique product of my own creative inspiration. A lot of my income goes into these projects, as does a lot of my time.

Something that I have been reluctant to say on this profile for a while is that I am a cancer survivor. I have had cancer 2 times in the last 4 years. This simultaneously has so much and so little to do with my personality that I haven't included it until very recently, but it seems important enough to make the cut. Please do not message me only to talk about cancer unless you have a new and original thought. "I once knew somebody who had cancer, and they died," does not constitute a new and original thought.

I am not looking for anything monogamous right now, so if you are then I am not the woman for you.

Enjoying the hell out of it. I am busy being myself, and I am thrilled to do so. Sometimes I am astonished by how lucky I am and how beautiful and fulfilled my life feels. I wish that everyone could understand that feeling.

As for what I am doing professionally, I really dislike that most Americans define themselves by what they do instead of who they are. It makes me a bit sad. Anyway, what I am doing with my life... If you must know what I do as work I am going to school and making coffee (both things that contribute to the infinite amounts of happiness I feel, as I love both learning and coffee).

Helping people to see the positives in a situation. Like I already said, I am an optimist. I really believe the point of life is to be happy. I like to make sure the people closest to me are happy, healthy, and intellectually fulfilled if possible.

I enjoying cooking; I don't know if I am extremely good at it.

I need to put this out there just because I felt that it needed to be said: I am a great kisser. If you are not a good kisser, I will leave. If I leave halfway through a date but fairly soon after we start kissing it is because you are a bad kisser, not a boring date. We are all adults here and we should have learned to kiss when we were teenagers. Go to my pictures, look at my lips, and if you think you cannot handle them, don't message me.

My smile and how much I am enjoying myself.

I don't really pay attention to much pop culture, so questions about books, movies, tv shows, and music are best handled in person. I promise you that in my life I have read books (even sometimes for pleasure /gasp), seen television and movies, and listened to music. Plus, why ruin the fun in learning and understanding my personality too soon? Getting to know people is at least half of the fun, probably more.

Having said that, food is not pop culture, so here is a brief list of things I enjoy noming on: Thai food, Indian food, sushi, soup, French food, vegetarian and vegan goodness.

If you absolutely need a list of things I enjoy before you think you can trust me as a person, message me. I am really friendly and I have no qualms about saying hi.

Adverbs: I really feel as though everyone should have a favorite part of speech.

Travel

High heels: I know, I know, I am not proud of the shopping I have done in the past. I hate how commodified my life is in general, and I try not to buy more. That does not mean that I cannot love the ones I already own.

Books: This includes textbooks and books for pleasure, but usually I don't read much fiction. I wish I was a better reader too. I love reading, but I do it very slowly.

Coffee

Astrology: I understand that a lot of people hate astrology or think it is ridiculous. I understand where this is coming from, and I never try to force this on people. Having said that, if I meet you, I will ask what your sign is whether our not you believe in astrology because I believe in astrology on a very deep and spiritual level. Also, in case you are interested, I'm a sagittarius with aries rising, so, like all double fire signs, I'm über confident.

How interconnected the world is. This is an idea that continues to astonish me the more educated I become. Everything is related and somehow either directly or indirectly affects everything else. It's very fascinating.

Feminism, specifically ecofeminism, but really any type of feminism and the misconceptions that come with it (like that I am a man hater, which I am not).

Astrology

New recipes to cook (particularly raw, vegan, or vegetarian ones).

Whether one is to say tased or tasered in reference to someone using a TASER against someone else.

Why anyone would ever want to use a TASER against someone else.

Religion and spirituality or a lack thereof. I do not consider myself religious, but I an definitely spiritual and I am fascinated by the major and minor religions of the world.

I also think a lot about how to be happy and why people deprive themselves of happiness.

Basically I think about things that make me feel more complete, at peace, and enlightened.

One OKC specific thing that I spend time pondering is how some people have points against other people in areas that have absolutely no effect on them. The best example of this is when I answer yes to the question that I would consider dating someone with a child. It's a really silly thing to count against me. It has no effect on your life unless you have a child, in which case I would hope it didn't count against me. I know that this short rant sounds much more annoyed than I actually am. It doesn't bother me when people do this; it is just something (like the question would imply) that I spend a while thinking about. It is also something that I try to avoid because why should I hold you responsible for something that will not affect me?

There really is no typical in my life, but lately I have taken to Friday night karaoke (I am one of those weird people who likes to sing in public, be on stage, or even give speeches).

Most recently, one of my friends and I put on our Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy costumes and watched Batman movies on Friday night, so that certainly isn't typical.

I also like to go to the first Friday art walk whenever I remember about it.

There is also quite a bit of enjoyment that I find in just staying home on a Friday night.

I pick my nose...a lot. I get quite a bit of pleasure out of it too. I don't just pick it to get rid of the stuff that is up there, but because I genuinely enjoy it.

(This is not a joke. Some people have mentioned how funny it is that I put this on here to scare people away. I'm on here to meet people, not to scare them away. This really is the most private thing I was willing to admit to a bunch of strangers.)

You want to explore the world and have crazy adventures with someone vivacious.

You are intrigued by non-monogamy.

You like to karaoke and just need someone to do it with consistently.
