I'm a bit of a walking paradox, but my good qualities far outweigh my bad ones. I am grounded and driven; creative and emotional.

I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, but am half Canadian and went to college in Vancouver, BC. I moved to LA to work, 6 years ago now (Joey Lawrence "Whoa!"), however, I still don't really know how long I'd like to stay. It's a love/hate relationship, this Los Angeles and me. We quarrel like the couple in a bad romantic comedy. There is often spooning after people yell and things have been thrown. I love to travel and plan to live in several more cities before the end. If you're looking for a traveling partner, I'm your girl.

I am a union art department girl here in LA (props and set dressing mostly), so there are only so many cities which could offer accommodation therein. I love what I do and am very gratified at the end of a long work day.

On the hobby side, I've been a cellist for the last 15+ years. I've been in local indie bands here and there, playing and singing, but I'm currently taking a break from music to concentrate on my new small business.

I've always had a penchant for jewelry making and am in the beginning stages of my own metal smithing company. It's my new favorite prospect!

(If you are so inclined)

I am facetious, dynamic, and quick-witted

Aforementioned.

Cello. Remembering names. Grammar. The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Crafting/DIY projects. Jewelry making. Kissing. Yoga (I've improved over the years, but still can't master a Pincha Mayurasana, aka forearm stand. One day, it will happen and I will celebrate with a giant glass of victory wine).

"Has anyone ever told you you look like Claire Danes in My So Called Life?"
Yes. Yes they have. Thanks for that. Again. ;)

My stems get a lot of attention too for some reason. Maybe it's because they go to my chin. Seriously. I have a 34" inseam...

This should give you an idea of my taste; be that important to you or not.

Food: I consider myself a healthy eater, though, sweets are my weakness. I try to steer clear of red meat and gluten when I can, but I'll attempt just about anything once. Try me.

I'm taking creative license to list 10 things, since this is a silly question to begin with, and 10 is such a nice round number:

My dog, Bartley. (Best doggie of all time!)
Good music.
Knee highs/Thigh highs.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
A manual transmission.
Travel.
Sex.
Sunglasses.
Apple.
Cereal!

When I will actually cross the threshold of adolescence to adulthood. I hope this never fully happens; I like fun. I don't like mortgages.

When will I score a nice cushy annual 9mo. episodic? That would be awesome. Right now, I'm just working up the rungs.

I'll also admit that I spend a fair amount of time thinking about sex. Don't we all? I'm a very loyal and affectionate person. My passions run deep, but I don't do drama.

I am a weeknight partier by nature. I frequent local music venues, comedy clubs, and dive bars when work doesn't interfere. Most of the time, these places are just too crowded or obnoxious on Friday and Saturday nights. I always enjoy a quiet night at home or some other fun type outing as well. I consider myself reasonably adventurous....

I am a sucker for nerdy glasses and beards, and I have a thing for brunettes. I can't whistle, which makes it very hard to sing along to Andrew Bird. My two dogs are my children. I love to sing and dance (I'm sure my neighbors have heard me having solo karaoke parties, haha).

I can be long-winded at times. Refer to above profile.

If at least one or more of these qualities apply to you, chances are we'll get along:

-You are adventurous, intelligent, easy going, quirky, and drama free. A good dose of class is always a plus!
-You love music or have a passion for film.
-You enjoy quality cuisine and libation.
-You believe that some people still have genuinely good motives. These are the kind of people whom I like to surround myself.
-You want to cuddle while watching a flick, go on a hike, debate political views, take me out dancing, or go to some fun divey gem I've yet to discover.
-You are NOT a guy. Yes, I have a boyfriend of three years, to whom I'm very committed. He is open and supportive of my affinity for women, and let's me explore and have fun therein. My boyfriend is NOT a contingency for hanging out with me or "having some fun" with me, platonically or otherwise. I am not looking for a threesome. I'm looking for like-minded erotic women who want to have fun. :)

-You are not afraid of the internets. Too many people on this site seem to be.
