Hmmmmm....how does one do this honestly and accurately? We all have biased perceptions of ourselves. Ask 10 different people who know me and you'll likely get 10 different answers. People aren't likely to post a laundry list of their character defects (of which I have very few...of course ;) ). I have a degree in psychology and a spent one miserable year in law school. I'm considering applying to a graduate program in psychology (just in the research stage now). I design jewelry and am an aspiring photographer. I'm liberal and open-minded. I have a dry wit and most people don't usually 'get' me. I'm perfectly imperfect. I love spoken word, especially Sister Spit- (Tiny Pink Pills and Credit Card Test). I love language and am a sucker for poets and people with extensive vocabularies. Very interested in LGBT issues and study. More to follow...

***I am NOT less well-mannered than most people (contrary to the little icon on my profile). In fact, except for laughing at inappropriate times (on occasion), I am VERY well-mannered. Additionally, I am VERY law-abiding (okay, I have gotten speeding tickets on occasion and I did have a troubled youth).

...just needed to get that off my chest ;D

Taking it one day at a time...

Dancing, photography, jewelry design, cooking, and seeing all sides of a situation.

My smile, eyes, and/or my intellect (I'm told)

Anything by David Sedaris or Augustin Burroughs. Poetry by Pablo Neruda and Rumi, The Big Lebowski (well, pretty much all Coen Bros. films), Little Miss Sunshine, When Night Is Falling, and Bound, documentaries (there's a fabulous doc film fest in Hot Springs, AR every year during the last part of October), Sarah McLachlin, Ani DiFranco, Melissa Ferrick, Natasha Bedingfield, Annie Lennox, Imogen Heap, Susan Tedeschi, Billie Holliday, Diana Krall, Norah Jones... Thai, fresh organic produce, Everything bagels slathered in REAL butter and cream cheese, V8, creme brulee, fresh gazpacho, hummus...(I'm not vegitarian but my favorite foods just happen to be meatless).

My son, intellectual pursuits, coffee, romance, the Arts, sex

My son, seeing the world, volunteer opportunities, what I really want to do with my life and how to get there. Oh, and how I'm going to pay for school.

glad it isn't Sunday night

Heh!

you think we might have something in common. I'd really like to meet some intelligent and interesting people to just go out and do things with.
