I am 35 and a single parent. My daughter is in high school, so its time to start thinking about what I'm looking for. I've recently gone back to school and completed my associate's degree. I work in the IT field, and feel incredibly lucky to not only have a good job, but to have one I enjoy.

I enjoy reading, bowling, watching movies and the usual. I'm not a big sports fan, but don't mind curling up on the couch to watch a game with someone special.

I believe that music has always been a very strong part of my life and love most types of it. My favorites are classic rock and old school heavy metal, but don't be surprised if some cheesy 80s pop comes up on my cd player!

I am also a big fan of tattoos and have several large pieces.

UPDATE:
Ok, so one of my biggest pet peeves is when you start a dialogue with someone and all of a sudden one day, *poof* they're gone and you never hear from them again. I'm a grown up and I understand that 'real life' happens. At least have the courtesy to tell me. It's not that much to ask!

Also, when you meet online, it takes a lot of conversation to get to know a person. I like to ask questions, but you've got to want to know things about me. If you cant answer a simple question like "What is something unusual about you?" then chances are, we wont have much to talk about.

You and me, a deck of cards and a pizza. We can play poker and the stakes are information. If I win, you have to tell me something about you, and if you win I'll answer any question you have for me. It doesn't really matter what we do, as long as we get to know each other.
