I'm not interested in a casual relationship, I may not be interested in any relationship. "Why the hell does she keep her OkC profile, then?" Because I feel like it. And whatever you do, DO NOT ask me sex questions. I repeat: DO NOT ASK ME SEX RELATED QUESTIONS. I will not respond to you then or ever. I'm fucking sick of it.

Cautionary advising completed:

For the love of god, entertain me.

I have had an OkCupid account since I was 16.
I lied about my age, and said I was older (Sorry OkC!)

I'm saying this now because I don't even know how to describe myself anymore. There have been a million words written in this box over these past 9 years, very few of them true.

And now I will attempt to say some true stuff, for anyone who cares to read.

Hi. My name is Von. Actually, it's Siobhan. But try pronouncing that and then tell me you don't prefer Von. My parents never called me by a solitary name and I've been addressed differently according to environment, i.e. educational, social, professionally. So I don't feel attached to any one name, in that way I sort of lack an identity. I go by Von because it's easy, and the less irritating of my past titles. Also I hate my real name anyway.

Growing up, I always thought I'd be a musician, since music took up the majority of my childhood. But I don't think I'm one for the limelight. I was also fond of science, but thought it overly ambitious for a career aspiration. I have an encyclopedic memory which comes in handy with biology, and a deep rooted love for all animals. If that paints a picture of me dressed like Snow White surrounded by woodland creatures, than you're only slightly off. Picture work boots, covered in blood and dirt, wrangling hawks-- then you're getting close.

I'm trying to become a better, more content person. I've used people to make myself happy for too long and a place like OkC can really keep that type of habit going. I don't want a codependent relationship or one that will distract me from my real goals.

I'm a biology major, focus in zoology.
My life is predominantly science.
My goal is to be sort of an animal behaviorist, aiding organizations in their efforts to conserve various species in need.
I have a special interest in wolves, but I swear I'm not one of those weird people that have a special interest in wolves. I don't own any of those tie dye shirts with the wolf howling at the moon on it.
Although, I will admit that I have considered buying one.

Ok, now I have to get one.

I work at a wildlife rehabilitation facility. I spend most of my day doing intake exams, giving medical attention to new patients, and doing a myriad of other animal related tasks. Some of the animals I work with: songbirds, predatory birds (hawks, owls, falcons, etc), predatory mammals (bobcats, foxes, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, the occasional mountain lion). I work long hours and usually take animals home for further care.

Playing electric guitar and learning about science.
Cooking.
Singing blues.
Arguing.
Quoting movies.
Kissing cats.
Taking pictures.
Snug-ing.

Disclaimer: Not trying to toot my own horn.

Have you ever known a socially awkward fairly attractive girl?
Most people when they see a decent looking girl, with her arms crossed, scowling or at least being distant from other people, they tend to think 'That chick looks like a bitch."

I think most people think I'm a bitch.
However, I'm trying to be more approachable.
And am also, indeed, a bitch.

Ender's Game, Great Expectations, any sort of Shakespeare, and most biological science magazines, or books.
Pantera is my favorite band. But I love Black Sabbath, Queen, um... I usually listen to one band for a year, then switch. I'm a creature of habit. Right now I'm on Queen, Pantera will always be my favorite but I'm really not very eclectic. I went through a Lady Gaga phase recently.
I have a few favorite-ish movies: Anchorman, The Big Lebowski, ParaNorman, any and all Wes Anderson movies, any and all Star Trek movies.
Favorite shows: Star Trek (starting to see a trend?), Futurama (don't try to challenge me at a Futurama knowledge contest, you'll lose. I'm not kidding), Southpark (don't challenge me to this either, I'm serious.), Spongebob, all those 90's cartoons we love. I also like stuff like 'I Survived' and 'Killer Kids' but I'm generally not encouraged to watch much of it because I get scared.
I love many foods. Here are a few: Steak (rare, not medium rare, rare), bangers and mash-- the one food I'll eat on my birthday. Anything Mexican, goddam I love Mexican. I love sushi, as long as it has enough fresh fish- no baked rolls or fake crab, please. Seriously though, this list is long. I may as well talk about what I don't like. I'm not a huge fan of pizza, but I will eat and enjoy it, I just rarely crave it. I hate cilantro. Um, I don't like dark chocolate.

Enough, already.

My cats, Star Trek, cartoons, meat, MacBook, liquid eyeliner.

I'm gonna need seven: My bird, Elwood! I saved his life, then he saved mine. <3

Science, or else I won't pass my midterms.
Other than that, I've been all about self improvement since I turned 24. Shit got real, to say the least. So I'm often thinking of ways to be better.

Watching cartoons or out at a bar.

I write Star Trek fan fiction.

You aren't a douchebag.

Even if you think you aren't, you probably are.

ONE OTHER THING: don't ask what my name is. I contribute one, WHOLE, paragraph to what my name is. Don't you dare.

And you don't all have to comment on whether or not you're a douchebag in your preliminary message. Pretty much 95% of the first messages people send me mention something about their impending douchy-ness.
