I would spend an hour every day browsing in a bookstore if I could. My fingers are always cold ("cold hands, warm heart"). I moved here from AZ about three years ago. I consider myself a dog person, but don't currently have one. It's fun finding shows (concerts and theater)- so many opportunities in this city! I have a tent and am slowly gathering up more gear and skills in anticipation of the future Camping Expert Self. If I must choose a beer, it's gotta to be an amber. I like taking long walks and hikes, and plan to build up to long runs. Every so often, I sleep in and spend part of a day reading, usually when it's cold and rainy out. I employ sarcasm as a means of both humor and defense ;-) I love coffee, chocolate, and Salt and Pepper Kettle Chips- but maybe not all at the same time. I recently became infatuated with Rock Band; my name is Lotta Leggz and usually I am the lead singer (though I am a big wuss re: large crowds like karaoke). I enjoy watching the Blazers (either live or in person) regularly, and have been known to get caught up in a game of football or baseball. If I had any money whatsoever (ha!), I would travel the world, starting with Macchu Picchu. Scrabble, word games, and sudoku relax me, but I can't say I'm all that good at them. :)

I'm trying to figure out how one person could conceivably save the world, particularly in regards to children (ha). I have been a teacher, and then worked in bookstores (got sidetracked), and now work part time for a mentoring non-profit organization. I am attending a grad school program for school counseling.

sarcastic remarks. listening. writing. working with children. making pasta. taking odd pictures. sticking my tongue out. planning parties. attempting crafty projects. remembering names and small details. finding obscure new bands/ concerts. using ellipses...

my height. my smile. my sense of humor. my strawberry-blond hair.

My friend Steven added this: "I have a warm demeanor that puts people at ease fairly quickly"

how to get through grad school, music/ upcoming shows, what I'll eat for my next meal, the kids I work with, my next trip (when I have money), my sweet new bike, practical jokes I could play on co-workers

...sitting at home/ happy hour relaxing after a long week of work, and planning for the rest of my busy weekend. There's usually alcohol involved. Or, lately, studying for classes- I know, not very exciting, huh?

I love to speed. I used to get caught all the time in AZ, but I've learned my lesson. I am currently trying to find less costly ways to re-live the experience...

I'm looking for someone who is:
* employed, single and straight.
* would be open to a monogamous and committed relationship at some point- preferably with me ;-)
* witty and sarcastic (and can take the same).
* you are interested in/ okay with dating a girl who is 6'0" tall.
* you eat meat and/or can tolerate a meat-eater.
* you are passionate about some activity (ie-camping) and still willing to teach me... even if I am clueless.

and the added bonus :)
* in possession of a great smile, facial hair, and/or nice arms.
* you like to read for enjoyment, even just a little bit.
* oooh, can you have a motorcycle? (ok, now I'm just asking for too much, aren't I?)
