This note added 10-31-12. It's been a crazy summer...the last bit of craziness is a motorcycle collision on October 16th just about 3 weeks ago. Surgery was on 10-13. Plate in my right shoulder and about an 8-inch scar. Tired of Pain meds and sitting around the house alone. At this time in my life a need a friend and activity partner. Someone cool to hangout with and develope a friendship with. If you would like to do something fun or want out of the house...and our profiles mesh lets get together. I have open time pretty much until I heal up about mid-October. As of September 18, 2012: Walks, watching TV/movies together, day-trips, deciding together something interesting to do on a Saturday or Sunday and then going (but I like sleeping in, too), book-stores, I like working in the yard, yard sales. I'm pretty much a night person but don't mind getting up and getting going early if we have a planned thing. I like reading and I'm a dreamer...(daydreaming I do alot...and most of the time music is playing in my head). I have a collection of vinyl records and an old turn-table. I like pretty much all music...new country is good but not my 1st choice. I don't like negative lyrics. I'm kind, don't have extreme habits, not nuts...easy on the eyes, think in a 1960's way. I vote on the issue (I can talk politics and religion and not get mad). I like dogs more than cats...but that's no deal-breaker. I'm not a good cook but I'm a good team-player in the kitchen. I have 3 childhood friends that are like brothers...I wouldn't want a relationship trying to break that up...I grew up in a really small town. I love my son and granddaughter. Together on the couch, holding hands...I like giving and receiving backrubs/footrubs. I can be romantic. I would like to fall asleep touching...you know, spooning, holding hands. I like reading and being read to in bed before we fall asleep. Pillow-talk about how the day went and what you're doing tomorrow. I know there is certain amount of give and take in a relationship. I don't accept unhealthy behavior, though. What I'm looking for in a partner is the kinds of things I mentioned above...so, in other words: I'm looking for a gal with similar interest (stuff above)...open-minded, pretty liberal, good conversationalist AND listener, slow to anger, likes intimacy, can handle silly humor...but also likes deep doentaries and movies. Someone who can bring insight and cool ideas into conversations...AND still...someone who can be totally comfortable with silence. Someone who's not insecure and is willing to be themselves from the very start (finding out stuff later is really bad). Meanness is out, kindness is in. I'm divorced. Having a LTR is what I would like... I'm not drama-filled and consider myself easy to deal with and be with. I'm a Libra so I kind of have some of those traits, the good and bad. Disclaimer: I've survived Leukimia and it is gone...looking at me you would never know. It is a non-issue. I have a steady income...the person I'm looking for has to have a steady income, too. It simply takes two to make it these days. Hobbies include my swimming pool, playing and writing music. I volunteer at the Animal Defense League. I'm open to new hobbies with a cool lady. I'm on one other site, too (okcupid.com) under the name A_Good_Choice. Good luck to everyone out there and as I'm sending good vibes to you as you read this, please send them my way, too.
