About Me

I'm very communicative, self-aware, emotionally open, expressive, and affectionate (at the right time and place). Most of my friends think of me as pretty easygoing. I'm a good listener (I think), have a great sense of humor (oh, I'm sure), and have a wide variety of interests (politics, world events, science, psychology, personal growth, PBS/NPR). I consider myself to be intelligent in the conventional sense, and think that I have a high level of emotional intelligence as well. And I'm pretty health conscious, too: walker/hiker/ occasional swimmer (summer time), almost a vegetarian (50:50), into meditation (might be good at it someday), and I flirt with yoga occasionally. I'm an active and independent thinker (outside the box), creative (p/t illustrator), and have a little bit of an unconventional side (maybe more than a little). I am thoughtful and non-confrontational in nature. A little less adventurous than some, but I work well with someone to who is inclined to share travel planning and responsibilities. Some see the glass half-empty, others see it half full, I see water condensing on the side and wonder if someone’s gonna get a coaster under that thing before it’s too late. I believe I live life to the fullest, every other Tuesday - the rest of the time I pretty much just take it easy. I love animals (except for big black spiders, I don't care much for big black spiders), especially dogs, I can't spell, and have been cited for excessive use of parentheses. Finally, I'm big into honesty and communication. I'd like to meet someone who is honest with themselves, and can share that with their significant other. So don't hesitate to express yourself (i.e., I prefer pics to no pics, and your heartfelt words over winks -)
