I've been happily single for a while now and I have come to treasure my independence. I have yet to be in a relationship where the emotional connection and independence is in balance. The past few years I've remained single while contemplating reasons why this may be. Life is a learning process and I try to be a good student, though some mistakes are sweet enough that it takes me a few tries before I am willing to learn the lesson. Born introspective and introverted, I've spent years overcoming the extreme shyness of my childhood, and have developed into a fairly confident and social adult. To be honest, people fascinate me. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people of all varieties. I love going to see live music, dancing, and drinking high quality beer, preferably all at the same time. I'm always up for road trips and music festivals. Sadly I haven't had the chance to go camping in a while, but I am a nature girl at heart and crave the nourishment only the wilderness can provide. I have an amazingly wise daughter who means the world to me!!!! She lives with me about half the time, so that gives me the freedom to go out or have company over once in a while. I also have two kitties who I absolutely adore. I would be heartbroken to lose any of my little family. I love animals of every kind, with the exception of fleas and mosquitoes. I have yet to figure out what purpose they serve other than possibly helping me comprehend that even the meekest of creatures has great potential to annoy others. Pretty much I'm just a casual, easy-going, fun-loving, wacky girl and I am pretty open minded about almost everything. Wanna know more?
