Since real happiness is found between your ears, I try to keep thoughts on the bright side. Can seem shy at first, but warm up as I get to know you and am willing to try new things, particularly ones that pique a creative mind. Am a visual artist involved in design, graphics, animation and 3D game assets (so spend evenings teaching a handfull of students online to build and implement game assets for their plug-ins/mods). Seeing new places and people help keep the creative edge going. Have traveled off and on throughout the US and a few European countries in the past. Am told I'm a decent cook and have a weakness for doing BBQ and smoked meats otherwise it's vegetarian, wraps, Italian, Chinese, French style cooking (love making pizza and calzone from scratch. Used to walk a lot but haven't gotten out as much as I would've liked this last year (gravity will overtake us all and my body is struggling to stay aloft). All parts, however, are factory, and the warranty is still good. So if you're looking for a serious woman with a wicked (sometime sarcastic and teasing) sense of humor, well....? I tend to gravitate to offbeat maverick types that like to laugh, dance, make music and recognize the beauty in the mundane. Life is entertaining and way too short. It would be wonderful to share the best moments, with an out-of-your-mind (not literally), passionate and loving person, before getting thrown into the abyss for good. Being together is great, but respect for personal time is important too, and the man I wish to be with will already understand how the time we spend apart merely reinforces and enriches the couple we are, when choosing to be together. Would prefer honest communication as humanly possible....don't tolerate fakes. If you have a compulsion for story-telling, or have a ridiculous profile that says "I'll tell you later", then I can only assume you're holding an agenda or are worst-case, a scammer. Please, let's not waste each other's time, so surf on. If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read this.
