I'm an introvert. Very much so. People facinate me, but I do best with simple, one-on-one connections with people. Sadly, I'm a bit of a stereotypical Cancer, take that as you will. I'll nurture anything that stands still long enough. Admittedly, I'm shy, but usually come alive when I can express myself in something other than spoken language.

I love to write. I love to read, anything I can get my hands on. Lately I've been on an ancient Egypt kick and am teaching myself heiroglyphics. I know, I'm a masochist. (It's been an amazing journey, and I'm loving every single moment of it.) I'm a former art and business major, but will be going back to college soon to major psychology.

I'm eclectic. Very eclectic. I enjoy just about any sort of music, or at least I'll give it a listen to before I turn my nose up. My book collection is wide and varied, but I enjoy science, science fiction, fantasy, somechildren's literature (think Harry Potter or Grimms Fairy Tales or Princess Bride), religion, especially paganisim and magic. (I've no interest in becoming The Most Powerful Witch In the World (tm), I just like to read about it and learn. Honest.) I love movies, and my tastes vary from horror to sci-fi to drama and cheesey action flicks. I don't do much with chick flicks, though. The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Psycho (the original Hitchcock thriller, not the rest) are some of my favorites. Oh, and Pirates of the Carribean. Johnny Depp is delightfully strange.

I have two cats, both wonderful, insane critters who serve as my fuzzy feline companions and roommates.

Family is extremely important to me. I'm close with my parents and developing a closer relationship with my brother, his wife and newborn daughter. Friends can be as close (or closer) as family, and I'm very lucky to have a lot of very dear, very close, loving friends. They are my lifeline.

I am introverted, intelligent, and eclectic

Not a whole lot, really. I'll be entering college again soon, majoring in psychology/counseling. As of right now, I'm also training one of my cats to be a meds reminder kitty. More on that later.

I'm good at interacting with people. I'm good with animals, especially cats and dogs. I'm a fast learner, and I'm interested in people's stories, their lives, hopes, etc. I'm an excellent artist, but I prefer eating to the starving artist lifestyle, and so I'll just live (le sigh) with falling in love with museums.

Physically? That I'm pretty. What I like people to notice first is my intelligence and heart.

I'm an introvert; I live in my head.

Watching television or a movie (or several), crocheting, or doing something else like puttering on the internet, playing with my cats. Usually more than one at once. Yes, I'm a homebody.

I'm still in the process of learning who, exactly, I am.

Message me if you're looking for a good, interesting friend or perhaps something more if you're female. (Guys, I love you, but I'm not interested in dating y'all). I'm always excited about meeting new people regardless of their sexual orientation or gender.
