To Whom It May Concern; My name is Angele Dionne. I currently live in Northern Maine and am studying psychology as well as philosophy. Education is important to me, whether it be through reading, or life experiences, knowledge is the key to power and change. If I could pick a few words to describe myself I would describe myself as emotional, a dreamer, pionate, creative, free spirited, wild, contemplative, inquisitive, quirky, and girly. I was born in a small town in Canada but moved to America shortly after my birth. My first known language was french, which I was very fluent in untill I moved to America and finally mastered English at the age of eight! Now I still understand and speak french, but not as well as I used to. I was raised a Catholic, although I find myself to be more spiritual than religious now, and I have alot of different beliefs and values that conflict with the churche's. I don't believe religion should rule every aspect of your life. Politically, I like to think I am democratic/liberal. I strongly believe in gay rights, I oppose the death penalty as well as the war in Iraq, and for the most part, I am pro-choice. I also clify myself as a feminist (although not hardcore), and an animal rights activist (I am a vegetarian, although I do not push my beliefs on others.) Socially, I would say that a good 98% of my best friends are gay men. And yes, we do have sleepovers; so any guy who is not secure enough with his own sexuality to accept this fact, will not have a chance with me. Nor will a man who is racist, sexist, homophobic, or does not respect and tolerate other religions. When dating someone, religion and race are unimportant to me as long as he can respect other ways of life as well. I'm really big on readng and I devour books like some people devour chocolate. I love to learn new things and constantly research topics I am interested in. Although I can be quite the bookworm I can also be quite the party animal (although I do not do drugs). I love going out to clubs with my friends on weekends or going to the occasional party. Just having a few nights to let loose and dance is probably one of the best feelings ever. I believe that sometimes life is too short to take too seriously. Sometimes making an emotional decision is more wise than making a logical one. As Albert Einstein once said "Reality is merely an illusion". I truly enjoy clical music, silent films, films from Hollywood's golden age, teas from around the world, and the theatre. I'm looking for someone who may be into these things as well. I'm mainly looking for someone with a free spirit and an open mind. A man who isn't afraid oh his emotions or opening up to someone. A man who can be as much of a hopeless romantic as I am at times (think; The Notebook), and basically someone with a good sense of humor, who is artistic and pionate, and who is looking for one of those old fashioned romances. I'm tired of constantly meeting up with men who are just after sex, or who have commitment issues. I'm looking for someone who will not only accept my many quirks and eccentricities but will also love them. I want a real man. Someone who is not overly jealous but can still be a little protective when he needs to be, someone who will stand up for me but still allow me my independence. Someone who still believes in chivalry but who can respect me as an equal. I don't care much for wealth and excess when I am in a relationship. I would much rather have a lover express his love for me through writing, song, a slow dance under the moon, or simply watching snowflakes fall from the midnight sky. Although diamonds and fancy dinners are often times nice; they are not necessary if a man can meet my emotional needs. I want someone spontaneous, someone who can take time to smell the roses and believes that life is not all about facts and figures. I want someone who will plan random and outrageous dates (be creative!). I have been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and although I am on medication and I am recieving therapy, I have had it for eleven years (it will take awhile for me to get better), so I need someone who can be patient with me when my symptoms arise during stressfull times. Although I do plan to find my soulmate and marry happily someday, I do not plan on having children. I do like children, but as of now, I feel as though they are not for me. If I would happen to become pregnant somewhere in the future, I would not be upset, but I don't plan on TRYING to have children. If I do ever raise children, my parenting style will probably be a very liberal and loving one. I would want my children to create their own sets of beliefs and values through their own experiences. Currently; I'm looking for a friendship, which could possibly grow into more in the future.
