I'm only looking to meet women on here, so unless you're a fabulously rich bachelor with a need to fill your various mansions with modern art - I'm not going to respond to guys. (However, you should check out my best friend friendofthemaxx because she's cute and awesome.) I have a most excellent man in my life, but things are open and would like to find a nice girl to have adventures with in and out of bedroom. Yes, I want to be friends first!

Stealing from another profile about open relationships: "For us it's very relaxed and it is less about sex and more about not limiting natural/organic connections." This applies to me! If you are expecting that since I say I'm in an open relationship that means that I'm easy, want to sleep with you or don't want to bother to get to know you then you are barking up the wrong tree. I am looking for people to date first and sleep with second. Got that? Ok, good!

I'm an adventure type of person. My bdays are always memorable and talked about for months, if not years.

I'm an artist, so you should appreciate these things. I'm an avid reader, so you should have read a book in the last decade. I'm a runner, so I'm in shape, but I also smoke, and this shouldn't really bother you. I'm a mom, but have weekends free and don't introduce my kid to people that I'm not confident are sticking around for a long time.

My friends think I'm awesome, and they're smart people - they wouldn't lie to you!

If I'm saving you and I haven't sent you anything it's because it's 1 AM and my brain is just not clever, charming or able to concentrate. Oh, that and I'm just playing on this between chapters of Don Quixote (Seriously! I'm a bit more than half way - if you want to discuss I'd be quite happy!)

If you insist on looking at my profile EVERYDAY could ya just let me know why? I check my stalkers and well... stop stalking me already!

Art, adventures, potty training, visits to the zoo, petting hamster, writing crappy narcissistic novel, lather, rinse, repeat.

getting people to talk to me. As in, you thought that you were just getting to know me and now I know every little detail about your life.

Cooking - so you should really just step aside and give me the skillet.

Baking - so if you're nice to me then I'll bring cupcakes to your bday party.

Drawing - but if you could limit the tattoo design requests to like one every year, that would awesome!

I changed my hair (see captions on photos) so no clue what people notice about me. How about you meet me and tell me?

Books: All that crap they made you read in high school AP english (I LOVED it!), authors: Neil Gaiman, Margaret Attwood, Mil Milington, Tom Robbins, Palahnuik

Movies: Four Rooms, Boondock Saints (I like cult flicks with weird plots, naked ladies and cute Irish boys)

Music: anything not country, pop (as in Britney Spears) or bad rap ... I've been known to get drunk and sing to Journey

Food: Long as it didn't have a central nervous system I'm good with anything (oh, and I don't care what you eat, as long as I don't have to watch you kill it)... Update: I do not like Chinese food from regular restaurants, veggie Chinese restaurants = super deliciousness. I refuse to live on steamed veggies alone

Sunshine, Music, Art, Socializing, Water and Food

sex. next drawing. my hamster's last feeding. what I'm going to eat. the decline of civilization and my lack of being able to do anything meaningful for it.

at a show. at a bar. at the beach. at a party... I have NO typical nights (weekend nights... weekdays are pretty boring)

I never refuse a question. Ask me anything.

Here is something random that I would have no other opportunity to admit: I love the feeling of running my hands through dried French green lentils. It's very peaceful.

You are open-minded, looking for fun and not afraid to kiss on a first date. Or if you own an art gallery and are easily charmed by cute punk rock girls. If you are a man, and for some crazy reason actually got this far on my profile, then don't think you are going to charm me or sweep me off my feet. If you are cool then maybe we can be friends. Like the kind of friends that don't see each other naked - got it? Ok, good.

In order to avoid getting half the emails that I do: The Maxx poster is custom, sorry. You can't go buy it, please stop asking me where I got it. And don't bother letting me know it is "cool" - I already know that.
