One of my philosophies that I like to live by is: "Be who you are and say what you feel 'cause those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." (Dr. Seuss)

I'm an educated, single, never-been-married nor have any kids, honest, down-to-earth, inquisitive person. I'm not afraid to go to the movies alone, but it's nice to have someone to exchange wit and opinions with.

I am interested in a lot of things...whether it be indoor or out. I love to hike, camp, play sports (although I'm not necessarily talented), and want to go rock climbing again. I also love to dance, try out different restaurants, watch movies, read, dress up for a night on the town, or dress down for a walk in the woods.

My strengths: warm, witty, genuine, down-to-earth, somewhat spontaneous, sassy, open communicator (not afraid of talking about anything).

I tend to ask questions as a way to express my genuine interest in getting to know you; I'm grumpy when hungry, but don't worry--I usually carry a healthy snack; sometimes I think too much...but I'm trying to see the bigger picture & understand it ;)

My dislikes: negativity, people not following through with what they say, people leading others on, whining, black licorice, liver, and bras that never fit.

My "Life List": skeet shooting (check-marked--completed Aug '08), stargazing, horseback riding, going to a spa (what can I say? I'm a girl...haha), visiting every province, skipping rocks on a lake, buying new glasses, to be continued...

I am ultimately seeking a long-term partner; one who is not afraid of mud or walking in the rain; one who will listen to me about my day moments, and talk to me about theirs; one who will wrestle one moment and cuddle the next; one who will let me be me--accepts me for the fantastic person that I am, as I will him. I understand that relationships take time to build. So for now...why not?

First date: the possibilities are endless...
