I read, research new things and do them. I'm an environmentalist.
I'm independent, meaning I enjoy a lot of alone time.
I'm really fluttering on the vegan/vegetarian line. I am super close to vegan, but actually really far from it too (picture 85% vegan with the occasional hamburger and milkshake).
I am very confident, but what I'm really saying is I'm not afraid to dress oddly or voice my opinion (in a respectful manner). Also, I think I can do anything.
People who enjoy math, science and the arts will like me too.
I love puppets and Jim Henson.
I love having plants in my home.
I speak Spanish well but should use it more.
I try to buy organic and support good companies. Focus on "try" here.
I paint.
I don't smoke and barely drink.
I'm pro-choice because I wouldn't leave people to hangers when there are doctors.
I'm queer. I like queers and gender benders best. But if that's not you, I still may think you're great, life is crazy. Really, though, guys, if you're not completely okay with homos and trans people, we're not gonna work. And you should be a feminist, because I'm female. I generally prefer women of all sorts to men, though.
My friends tell me I'm the most generous, selfless person they know (but they're probably biased). They also tell me I'm nuts, in the good way.
I'm new to the Bay Area and still seeking to find all of my friends. You might be one of them.
I am poly and have a lovely, smart trans boyfriend. At this moment I am open to casual dating and all manner of friendships, but my serious relationship energy is focused on him.

I'm enjoying life. I love my job at a co-op. I use Linux and other Open Source Software, and I type Dvorak. I drive a big ol' thing. I am always learning a new language, formula, solution, skill or technique. My future plans are more loving people, animals, the plants, the earth and my time. I consider that more important than any career goal. In the end, I will be a wise and satisfied old lady (or man?). Don't think I'm too happy-go-lucky, though: it's a philosophy, not always a first instinct.

I'm really good at: Eating, taking care of plants, animals, and people. Never taking a disposable bag at the store, or using disposables in general. Living my priorities, when I know what they are. Giving advice and then taking it back. Being sucked into the internet. Being unnecessarily honest. Telling you how I like it. Looking on the bright side. Letting dishes pile up. Knowing it's not about me. Solving the Rubik's Cube.

My tattoos (summer), my piercings (winter). My "spunky" attitude and/or goofy side. I dress kinda funny and I'm pretty. And I'm not wearing a bra. Ever.

I first noticed her fearlessness. Then I noticed her warm, disarming, full-bodied laugh. Then I noticed her talking loudly about her vagina, while ogling our waitress. (And thus I was smitten.) ~fuzzynerd

Doing school work or hanging out with friends. Or having my head eaten by the internet.

I've been homeless, I've worked in porn, I've slept with a frick-ton of people, and I'm okay with that. Also, that doesn't mean I want to fuck you, it means that you probably cannot offer me exciting and new sex, so maybe you should just focus on being yourself and not trying to do me. :)

you like yourself and think you might like me too.
