Currently and will be for some time, studying to be a clinical and experimental psychologist specializing in PTSD. I have 1 beautiful child who is the center of my life :)
My 2 new favorite movies: State Of Play and SHRINK
I am just over 5 feet tall, natural muscular build(natural size 4 but a tight 6 when I'm lifting) which has led me to be called "bubble butt" and "thunder thighs", green eyes, dark hair, and pale skin tone. At the moment I am a bit overweight due to a personal issue. My goal by next summer/fall is to be competing in bodybuilding and figure competitions.
My political views I hold dear to my heart. I am a registered dem but I do not support a system that believes freedom is the right to exploit others to the point of physical and psychological desperation. Passion for those who have less influences me to give rather than take because I can. There should always be a cap on capitalism and Wal-Mart is the evil empire. I am a pro-choice naturalist who supports stem cell research and cloning. I believe in a better tomorrow not only us but for the children.

Some interests include fishing, hiking, cycling, climbing, inline skating, swimming, weight training, learning to make cheese, biological engineering, political activism (I am a proud member of the red USA Socialist Party), reading, collecting miniature objects, shoe shopping, anticipating grad school, attending concerts, woodworking, camping(RVs don't count), learning to build motorcycles, playing the drums, kickboxing, and winter weather with lots of snow.
Having excellent balance and coordination makes me a great break dancer. In addition, I'M NOT SHORT I'M FUN SIZE! My all-time favorite quote,"What People Are Really Afraid Of Is Their True Potential". Another fav. is,"The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living." And just one more.."I am too positive to be doubtful, Too optimistic to be fearful, and Too determined to be defeated." "There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them." D.W.
My plan is to have an old, fairly large house in the mountains full of antiques and other old quality items. I'm not into the bar or party scene though I do enjoy going out and prefer intimate quiet settings. I'm outgoing and friendly but not the life of the party. A bit rusty at this since I took off 2.5 years but am ready to reconnect with someone special. I prefer to take things slow letting things develop naturally rather than rushing out of desperation and insecurity. I'm not willing to settle and I hope all of you out there are not willing to as well :)
For dating, I would like to interact with a goal oriented individual who has an intense curiosity and drive for life. MUST ENJOY FITNESS!

You get lots of points for bodybuilding or weight lifting but don't worry, I don't mind if you have a few extra pounds(I like meat)... Must be a visionary, educated, practical, critical, an activist, able to challenge me in many ways, larger physically than myself(sorry no skinny guys) and someone I can play with outdoors. Also, I will judge you by your shoes. Oh yes, must like fishing
The question is not whether we can but if we will.
Pretty much wanting a best friend and passionate lover. Someone with integrity who values communication, is real and true, not passive, authentic, loyal, playful, adventurous, determined, reliable, open and honest. If you want to know more just ask and I might tell you.
Maybe get some tea or out to eat? I don't know. It depends on what the connection is before. Get me some tickets to see Peter Gabriel and I'm yours...
