ME: Loving, easy-going, sociable, open, tolerant, active. Widely varied interests and friends. Quietly confident, sometimes shy, always a people person. Intellectually curious, still learning, evolving, growing. Moving beyond fear-based thinking, embracing impermanence. Low-key iconoclast, subtly non-conformist? Younger than my age.
Genuinely respect women. See them as equals, friends, partners, not servants, objects, prey. Live against misogyny, sexism, racism, homophobia.
24 yr ethical spiritual vegetarian, but no hating on omnivores.
Close w/ family and my two cats, love to hang out w/ my 9-year-old triplet niece and nephews.
Love good eats: Vietnamese, Thai, Middle Eastern, Ethiopian, Italian, South American, comfort foods. I cook but don't brag.
Architect and small firm owner. Love old buildings. Art history nerd. Design from nuts and bolts to interiors and furniture design. No longer confusing career w/ having a life.
Lifelong music fan, ’professional’ punk musician (76% Uncertain, Shelter, hat city intuitive, etc). Love dancing, live music, collecting music (everything but opera…).
Physically active: nautilus, basketball, power walking, snow sports. Traveller: vacations, day and wknd trips, food bank volunteer. Culture, Art, Fashion, Crafts.

YOU: Intellectually and physically active, in love w/ life and moving forward. Someone to learn from and with.
You know and love a variety of musics, cultures and cuisines. Architect, artist, musician, designer, graphics or fashion professional, small biz owner and/or aware of the demands of running a small biz.
Someone who pursues getting out to have fun or learn something new w/ the same gusto as getting work done or enjoying the familiar.
Hopefully, a veteran of a previous deeply-involved LTR, who knows what they need and what they have to give, who recognizes how their past affects their present, and who wants to find a more open future w/ a partner who's looking for a conscious, honesty-based LTR.
