I am funny, smart, and unusual.

My Self-Summary

I am an independent, unique, exceptional woman. Not typical in many ways, I hate shopping, can't stand wearing high heeled shoes and makeup, will laugh at just about anything, and can't dance to save my life. I have a lot of interesting friends, a fantastic family, and the coolest dog in the universe!! (a black lab). I really don't need anything or anyone to complete my life...but it would be nice to have a partner to share my time with.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm an adjunct professor, among other things, and I do a bit of stand up comedy. Lately, my hobbies have included grading papers, DIY projects on my house, and cleaning up the things my Lab has destroyed. I've been learning guitar for over a decade, and I still suck at it. But hey, no one can say I'm not committed. I just recorded back up vocals on a friend's album, and I plan to write another book at some point.

I’m really good at

I can sing alright, I've been told I'm hilarious, I make an amazing key lime pie, and my friends say I am infectious like a cult leader...but I think the best thing I'm good at was described by my neighbor as an ability to bring people together, to set a great vibe, and to make everywhere I've been seem like the "place to be." Is that a thing?

The first things people usually notice about me

My laugh! It's fairly identifiable and totally infectious, and I'm always doing it! Strangers tell me I have a great smile, and some weird old guy from Germany once told me that he thought I was an angel. :) Go me!

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Movies (in order of my faves): The Shawshank Redemption, The Crossing Guard, The Fisher King, Love Actually, and Sabrina. Music (in no order): Band of Horses, Iron and Wine, Phoenix, U2, REM, Damien Rice, Joshua Radin, etc. Books (again, in or order): The Tao of Pooh, Imagica, The World According to Garp, Silent Spring, Cold Mountain, etc. Food: OMG, it's all delicious. My family is cajun, my brother owns an Italian restaurant, and I live in the middle of Mexican food heaven, so...I'm an avid food lover.

The six things I could never do without

MY DOG. My friends. My car (bad for the environment, I know...but I am a freedom junkie and when I gotta go, I gotta go). Peace. Food. Love.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I crack myself up, so I spend a lot of time thinking about funny things. The rest of the time, I am either daydreaming about the perfect romance (I can't lie) or about things that ultimately depress me, such as the objectification of women, proliferation of war, destruction of the environment, how to fix the problems of people I meet, and generally trying to come up with realistic solutions to local and global issues (most of which is totally moot). Then I come up with something else to laugh about.

On a typical Friday night I am

I used to spend a lot of time with my friends in bars, singing karaoke, getting into trouble and the sort. Now, most of my friends are coupled off and so I usually host game night at my house, we eat, drink, and kick each other's asses at Catchphrase or Pictionary, and still have enough energy on Saturday to do yardwork and other lame but necessary chores. Lame, but comfortable, I know.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't have a lot of secrets.

You should message me if

If you are NOT psycho, not into trophy chicks, not intimidated by smart and successful women...if you do not have a profile pic of you holding up a fish, or standing next to a muscle car, or taking a pic in the bathroom mirror of you with your shirt off...if you enjoy companionship, honesty, laughter, intelligent debate, and are reasonably attractive inside and out please message me!
