I'm an outgoing, creative person with a love for learning new things. I love animals--I have a dog, a cat, an angora rabbit, six chickens, and two ducks; I enjoy cooking, playing video games, and being outside. It's been awhile since I've been camping or horseback riding but I love to do both, and I hope to find someone who can respect and appreciate the person I am. I have two kids. I've never minded getting dirty, I'm merely an okay swimmer, and I'm currently going through a divorce, as well. I like who I am.

I'm a bit of a hippie.

I’m looking for the same things I offer: respect, loyalty, generosity, honesty, love, romance, and true partnership; for someone who doesn’t mind being a ready-made dad and knows how to communicate well.

I am not a novelty. This is who I am and this isn't changing.

Right now I'm looking for better work, having tons of fun with my kids and critters every day, and planning on opening an urban farming store in Milwaukee. I'm also learning how to play the ukulele and am super active with Cream City Hens, a community movement that recently legalized backyard henkeeping in Milwaukee. I'm still a Girl Scout, read a lot, knit, sew, and bake. I make killer homemade bread, yogurt, and butter.

I consider myself to be a creative person, and there are a lot of things that pique my curiosity, resulting in constant learning. Every day I look at something new, learn something new, and grow into a new person.

"Wow, your hair is really long!"
or
"Holy cow, those are weird shoes!" (If my hair is up in a hat) (Some children actually get down on the floor next to my feet and poke my toes.)

Oh man. Okay, I love Harry Potter (though I actually refused to read it at first because of all of the hype), the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin, Jane Austen novels, the Kate Daniels series, Hitchhiker's Guide, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Doctor Who, Firefly, Sharpe's Rifles, Star Wars, Queen, Amanda Palmer, The Beatles, Nickel Creek, JT Spangler, Supertramp, and barbeque sauce (give me chicken wings and a beer (preferably a Lakefront Brewery Eastside Dark) and life is awesome!).

- A book
- Vibram Five Fingers with skirts
- A dog
- The wind
- Sweet things (possibly sweet nothings, as well)
- Daffodils

Possibilities. I am such a dreamer. I'm an eternal optimist. I am filled with hope almost constantly.

This can get me into trouble--I can easily make trouble for myself.

I have a geographic tongue.

(In looking this up, I've found that this definition appears to be some sort of disorder or something. It's not. My tongue just doesn't look uniform. This goofy and unique appearance does not...I repeat not...affect kissing skills.)

You don't mind kids (I have a eight year old and a five year old), love critters, don't mind cooking half of the time, have something to talk about, can deal with goofy shoes, have an interest in sustainability, and know how to sing. (...okay, so that last one isn't a requirement. :oP) Extra points if you're a Whovian, know what a Whovian is, know how to dremel a dog's nails, like to mop floors, or can't decide if you'd rather be a Jedi or a wizard.
