...neither one makes a person. Take either one away and you have a person to deal with. Both are fine if done in moderation and not for someone else. BOTH REQUIRE MAINTENANCE. I do not have either. I have a Toyota and a full head of hair - that's enough to maintain. ;) Yes I had a Pink Cadillac (rose deVille) and no I don't sell cosmetics.

Kind, compassionate, smart, funny, looking for same.
Employed, looking for same.
Have a home and a car that is one color, looking for same.
Single posting photos, looking for same.
Otherwise, looking for something different.

Goals and aspirations:
To get up without falling down.
To find my glasses before I take out my contacts.
To find the ultimate shoe store where every pair of shoes inside is gorgeous, in my size and feels like butter on my feet.
To be the oldest living woman to get her first novel published; currently the record is age 88.
To be a model for AARP magazine.
To take up paintball.

Senior in IT - UPDATE 10/2/09 - Finished - YAY! Got my BS in IT and turned around and enrolled in grad school. Love dancing, working out, writing, the beach, my kids, shoes, watching the squirrels, my dog barking at the TV, the birds, sunrise/sunset - the sky and clouds, strong cup of coffee, I'm a coffee snob. One of the few critical parts of my day is a couple of cups of strong, decent French roast or a real cappuccino (not an imposter). I like my job, Atlantic City and hope to go to the islands in the future. Not really into camping or hiking - gave up the girlie stuff for years to raise sons, the only female in the house. (Even the dog was a guy.) Even though I grew up a tomboy, I learned to appreciate girlie things and just gettin back to it. I enjoy shopping (duh) - with my own money, so no hidden agenda here. As for the Atlantic City thing: not much of a gambler, just like the scenery, stores, shows, comedy clubs and sitting on the beach all day, usually writing.

Please have a photo of yourself standing in front of a movie marquee so we can all get a sense of when it was taken.

(Also, please be able to endure wit, full or half, as I am not bland...I said bland not blond...I'm not that either - not that there's anything wrong with that...

A cup of coffee or a casual meal, conversation. Hopefully a few laughs. This is just the ice breaker date, so it should be comfortable, stress-free. When it's over we can part company and decide if there was any connection and get back in touch if there was. No stress. I really feel awkward when asked, "So howdya like me now?" ten minutes after meeting.
