I am versatile, busy, and cuddly.

My Self-Summary

I'm looking for two things: friends, and women to date.

With friends I love to talk about our hopes, dreams, and fears, and about culture, politics, langauge--anything that is a meeting of hearts and/or minds. I love to play tabletop RPG's, both D&D and some White Wolf. I like cooking, hiking, and crafting. If you are interested in any of these things and live in or near Tacoma, I'd love to hear from you.

As to the dating angle: I'm polyamorous, married, and bi. I've listed myself here as gay because I'm not interested in dating men right now, and I apologize if that's inconvenienced anyone.

I'm kind, somewhat hapless, and kinky. I enjoy laughably bad action movies, but I still want to talk about feelings.

My internal landscape has beauty that I've worked for: well-arranged trees and flowers, carefully-tended bonsai, little streams and fountains. And there are the wilds, deep forests where beasts hunt. So yeah, I've got issues, but I'll be able to warn you so you see them coming. ;)

Aunque el inglés es mi lengua madre, hablo español.

Soy poliamorosa, estoy casada, y busco a una novia. Soy amable, compasiva, bastante desventurada, y kinky. Me gusta mirar las películas de acción, buenas y malas (a veces, lo peor es lo mejor) pero también quiero conversar sobre las emociones.

Adentro, he trabajado a mantener mi jardin. Tengo flores, árboles, aguas plácidas y bonsai. Al mismo vez, en los bosques se esconden las bestias, esperando a devorar... Entonces si, tengo problemas, pero vas a saber cuando vienen.

Si pudiera encontrar a alguien que juegue el Scrabble o juegos de RPG, o simplemente a alguien que me haría su amiga mejór.

What I’m doing with my life

I teach Spanish at a high school in the Puget Sound area. Somehow I'm herding 150 teenagers towards a goal of Learning Things, and they generally seem to be doing it.

Enseño el español en un colegio, busco a amigos nuevos porque todos los que tenia se fueron a otras partes, leo, hago joyas y otras cosas, etc.

I’m really good at

Listening, figuring out how to put things together, languages, making stuff, making people feel good, procrastinating, being geeky
Now in Spanish
escuchar, construir cosas, hacerte sentir buena

The first things people usually notice about me

I look younger than I am. I have big boobies (see photo). And for some reason, I suppose many people see "trustworthy" and "I care about you" floating over my head because so many strangers have decided to tell me their life stories at various points. Thing is, I generally am those things, which means that I also get hit up for spare change, underage cigarettes (before they know I'm a teacher), and other such things. Oh well.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Anything by Ursula K. Le Guin and C.S.Lewis (though mostly his nonfiction), also anything by Issac Asimov. The Kushiel series by Jaqueline Carey, the collaborations between Mercedes Lackey and Tom Mallory, and narrative histories like The Dirt on Clean.

Food: Anything. I love food.

Music: I enjoy a lot of music but it's never been super-important to me. I recently discovered Owl City which is made of happiness and rainbows.

Me encanta leer. Estoy leyendo (muy despacio por la vida que tengo) un libro de ensayos en la homosexualidad y la transexualidad en la Edad de Oro de la literatura española; una biografia del Che Guevarra; y revistas del hemisfero oeste. Tambien me gustan la ciencia ficcion, la fantasia, y la historia.

You should message me if

You'd like a new friend, live in the Tacoma area, and want to game or craft or just talk with me.

And/or if you live nearby and are interested in a secondary relationship and/or casual dating.
