**Update** I'm seeing someone right now but that doesn't mean I don't want to be friends with like minded people. It does mean I'm definitely not looking for someone to be intimate with, I'm happy with my significant other. I'm a freelance writer who believes in monogamy. I do and respect anyone who expresses themselves freely and isn't concerned what other people think. I enjoy putting on make up to take fun pictures but the majority of my time I wear little to none. I'm definitely not THAT girl. The kind of girl you see at at the mall with the hair and the nails and the cell phone. I love animals. I want to have many - as many as I can. My pion for animals parallels my pion for writing. I don't see myself with out either in my life. I get frustrated at the amount of people who have no sense of humor or who have no imagination. Just because you turn a certain age doesn't mean you should forget how to be a child. My imagination and child-like wonder is what keeps me from getting lost in this crummy world. Recently, I discovered something about myself. I'm a complete person. I'm happy with who I am and while I work on my imperfections everyday, I'm not struggling to find myself. And I'm not looking for someone who is. I recently told my best friend the following: "Lust blurs my vision and makes me crazy. It's much easier on my sanity to be unfettered. Not to say I don't long for a man because I do but I find that I want someone who is going to have loves and interests to share with me and want to share in mine and not someone who feels like they HAVE to have or are desperate for love. Weak relationships spawn from weak people. You can only nurture someone so long before you have to decide whether or not they'll ever fly on their own. I want someone who soars. Has his own life and loves it and sees my life and loves it and me. But he hasn't happened yet. Maybe because I want him to know more than how to fix a car but also know how to do that. Someone with honor but not the kind on tv... the kind where he respects your relationship whether you're married or just dating." That's really just the chip of the iceberg. There's so much more I could say. I don't think it's greedy to know what you want or to try to obtain it. Is there a man out there like that?
