I am about 5 minutes late most everywhere I go, but not because I am primping, I am relatively low maintenance (not in the vegan footwear, hairy legs way, although, I do own more items of tie dyed clothing than I might like to admit). My car is always messy. Not dirty, but messy. For example, if you were to look in my vehicle today you would find some awesome old reclaimed wood frames that I found in an antique shop and have big plans for (if they ever come out of my car) and about 10 old non-fiction books that I found at the same shop. I may never actually read them cover to cover, but I am not a hoarder, I promise. I love old books and the idea that I can access all of that knowledge whenever I want is pretty cool. I don't read on my ipad because I love the feel and smell of real, actual books. Since I am traveling along "nerd avenue" I may as well tell you that I love watching documentaries related to shipwrecks. I know, its strange, I don't get it myself. I really do love them though.
I am mommy to the most awesome little girl in the world! I share custody with her dad, with whom, I have a good relationship even in the midst of a divorce, which, I think speaks volumes. We were friends first, which is important to me in a mate. I want to be able to laugh and be myself around my partner (and "myself" can be pretty lame at times) so, if you are a "mr. serious pants" brooding, mysterious man, you are probably not my type. There is nothing you can expect from others that you don't communicate to them clearly. I don't want to be with a man who is harder to read than Dante. Just use your words! I want to be with someone who is confident, but not arrogant, vulnerable, but not wounded, and affectionate, but not needy. It's important to me that my partner be passionate about something other than me (as long as its not xbox or like dragons and wizards computer games or star trek). I love Tarheel basketball, though I'll admit mothering a toddler has made me a crappy fan in the past few years, but now that I have a bit more free time I plan on cheering my boys on at every possible opportunity. I'm pretty easy to get along with, I just don't want to be in bars trying to meet someone.
So...if you are still reading and you feel that we might get along, send me an email and let's talk, it doesn't always have to be a love connection, maybe we'll be great friends, who knows?
