Updating my profile - sorry boys, I'm taken. Thanks for the interest though. :-) (Girls can still apply...)

Others tend to describe me as: strong, kind-hearted, straightforward and honest, intelligent, friendly, warm, sexy, tall, and moody. Well, we can't win them all. I have deep, deep levels and a sordid past. I am not for the faint of heart. I can bake a peach-raspberry crumble like no one's business.

I highly value education and intelligence, but also someone who's compassionate, outgoing and has a great sense of humor. Geekiness goes a long way with me - if you're into comic books, fantasy novels, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer I'm your girl.

I am strong, capable, and understanding

Working.

I have a tattoo of a blue rose entwined around the scales of justice on my upper left thigh.

You are not allergic to cats.
