People often have trouble defining me since, I don't really seem to fit one description. If I were to try I'd say..."New-Age Rebel" maybe...? (Is that even a word? ha, ha) Anyway...that being the case, I'll tell you a little about myself since, I don't often seem to fit many people's expectations of how I "should" be. (Which, I think , is probably alot of what keeps me single. ha, ha) I'm down to earth, easy going, laid-back, free-spirited, slightly stubborn, sensitive, easy to love, occasionally shy, somewhat country, strong-spirited (different from strong-willed! :-)), intelligent, alternative thinking/believing...ect. Music, laughter & learning are a big part of my life. I have a variety of interests...it just depends on what I feel like doing. I like animals/nature, many kinds of art, live music, cars, making repairs, movies, food, comedy, reading, writing poetry, good conversation, food, walking barefoot in the summer, photography, bonfires, rennissance festivals, carnivals, Halloween, cards, staying in, relaxing, dancing, ice/roller skating, watching Nascar or Bullriding, & sometimes even a little romance. Though, that doesn't mean I'm high-strung, constantly active, or have any major mental problems. :-P I'm not always the most athletic person, either...I'm affraid I'll LOSE weight! :-) I don't claim to be perfect or know everything. I feel that life is a work in progress. I think that friendship is very important. And, being honest, caring, & respectful are still some of the most important things in life. I don't mind tatoos, I have a couple of my own. I don't like to smoke, drink, or "party". While, I'd love to find that one true love...I thought I'd just start by looking for people who could truly appreciate ALL that I am. Who, share some of the same qualities/interests and would be interested in friendship/maybe doing some things together once in a while. Just being ourselves...no pressure. If something happens, great...if not, that's fine, too. But, who also, aren't looking for "just a little fun" (Sorry, I'm not that girl). If you're interested, please let me know. Because, even though I'm here, I don't believe in doing the "pursuing", if you know what I mean (sorry, call me old-fashioned). :-) Take care. Have a good day. P.S.Though, I appreciate all of your interest, if you're over 40, don't have a completed profile, or don't have a picture, please don't be offended if I don't respond. Also, guys I'd like to remind you that interrogating a woman who agrees to IM with you as if she's a criminal while, understandably, the quickest way to find out if you're a match, is definatly the most insulting & hurtful & no way to treat a lady. Please don't do this. Dating should be fun...for both people. :-)
