About me and what I'm looking for

Seeking playful, sweet-natured independent woman for conversation, cocktails and wrestling . . . I am an ex-Marine and publishing poet working in the semiconductor industry . . . I'm often mistaken for a twentysomething, yet am easily flushed out when pressed for 80's trivia (the answer is 'parachute pants!') . . . Quiet evenings at home can be just as fun as nights on the town . . . I love, love, love to laugh . . . Have little patience for falseness in people or relationships . . . Prefer cats over dogs, but love all animals equally (owners do not easily impress) . . . I moved to Austin five years ago after a decade skipping around the globe and fell fast in love with Central Texas - bought a home (Southside!) and plan to stick it out with my fellow expatriates . . . An ideal companion would be equally at ease delighting in her femininity as hanging with the boys, is comfortable in her skin yet modest with strangers, can laugh at her own folly and that of others . . . I relate well to women who, on the surface, appear a mix of contradictions, are unconventional in surprising ways, not easily disclosed or stereotyped . . . I'm open to casual acquaintances and new friends but am also a sensitive soul and believe life is far richer when shared with a special someone.


IN MY OWN WORDS...

for fun:
Finding humor in all things.  Good conversation.  Discovering the weird side of Austin.  Being outdoors.  Practicing Ashtanga yoga.  Home repair projects.  Playing golf or guitar.  Writing poetry.  Good food / books / movies / performances . . . Want to learn to dance!

my job:
Information Technology.  I work for a successful, Austin-based company who design semiconductors for portable music players (your iPod, for instance).

my religion:
Unafraid of the unknown.

my education:
"I never let my schooling interfere with my education" ~ Mark Twain . . . Studied English Creative Writing (don't spell check me!) and Philosophy.

Unless I'm out to watch a ball game, the fewer televisions the better; restaurants all shapes, sizes, cuisines (love to eat out!); Bookpeople, Whole Foods, Cafe Mundi, Barton Springs, Austin Java, Lake Travis, Mother Egan's Irish Pub, South Congress, Warehouse District...

favorite things:
My house, friends, happy hour, pistachios, bucking the trend, witnessing random kindness, new clothes, new discoveries, healthy debate, spicy food, a warm bed, a good fire, kisses, laughing outloud, helping others succeed, sharing love / joy / friendship / etc...

About me and what I'm looking for

I am an eternal optimist who is quick to laugh and tries to find the good in any situation.  I like to be silly, but also appreciate conversations of depth.  I love children and animals, and am the type of person who will catch a bug and let it outside.  I am extremely loyal, loving and honest.  I have a Psychology degree and spent several years as a 5th grade teacher before getting into real estate.  Music I like:  Rolling Stones, Nick Drake, Bright Eyes, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Norah Jones, The Beatles, Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins, Belle and Sebastian, Elliott Smith, earlier Michael Jackson, lots of 80's tunes, The Kinks ... I would LOVE it if I found a guy who knew and liked a lot of the same artists ... I have a theory that you can tell a LOT about a person by their music, movie and shoe choices.  On that note - if you have trendy, cute sneakers and/or Birkenstocks / Tevas, you are probably right up my alley!  My favorite movies:  Annie Hall, Lost in Translation, The Graduate, Harold and Maude, Rushmore, Garden State, Zoolander, She's Having a Baby, Dazed and Confused, Magnolia.  I do have a 'type' that I am very attracted to (chemistry and attraction are so important) ... I am a sucker for tall (5'10" or above), slender men with full heads of hair and beautiful eyes (long lashes really get me!).  I am attracted to liberal hippie/earthy/hipster types who are fun-loving, well read, intelligent, silly and have good jobs.  You are charismatic, affectionate, loyal and have a strong sense of self.  You already have a stable job, great friends and a happy, full life.  You probably live in Central or South Austin.  You have had healthy long-term relationships before and can actually say you are friends with some of your exes.  You are adventuresome and creative, and truly love life.  You are an "old soul" who isn't afraid of commitment and would very much like to find a life partner and have kids when the timing is right.  I have kitties, so my match can't be allergic to them.  Bonus if you can cook!


IN MY OWN WORDS...

for fun:
I love exploring all of Austin's fabulous restaurants / coffee shops ... I am definitely someone who likes to be out and about - whether it be an art opening, movie, play or just grabbing a drink with friends.

my job:
I work in real estate and love what I do.

my ethnicity:
I am your typical mutt - Dutch, Scotch, English, Norwegian and German.

my religion:
I was raised in an unusual religion ... am now a very spiritual person, but don't attend religious services.

my education:
Got a Psychology degree from the University of Wisconsin Madison - an incredible town!

favorite hotspots:
Favorite restaurants:  Mars, Moonshine, Finn and Porter's sushi bar, Taj Palace, Thai Tara, El Chile ... love Malaga's tapas happy hour specials.

favorite things:
Sunshine, coffee, Ashtanga yoga, light-hearted 'old souls', people with charisma and charm, happy hours with friends, chivalry, my job, my kitties, my house, traveling, candles, dark beer, handstands, singing, drawing, playing piano, laughter, kissing, serendipity.

last read:
Currently I'm reading 'Jitterbug Perfume' by Tom Robbins - like his books a lot.  Also a J.D. Salinger fan.  I've recently been reading a lot of non-fiction:  Feng-Shui and Real Estate books.
