Hello stranger - "spanks" for stopping by.........now sit down, cop a squat, grab an energy drink, as this is going to take awhile....anyone who can actually get through this entire tome will get my full attention.
A little about me (actually, it's totally too much, but at least some of it is about YOU).....I own a horse and spend a lot of time riding, and I also enjoy carriage driving. I enjoy a game of pool and scuba, and can sail a large boat singlehandedly. But I can't play golf to save my life. Nor am I much of a dancer - you won't see a booty-shakin' flygirl routine from me! Hopefully as I've grown older I've also grown wiser, but one thing I've definitely become cognizant of is the difference between making a living and making a life. Frequently outraged by some of life's cruelties, and respect diversity. But.....I don't suffer fools gladly.
I love to discuss literature, philosophy, and sci-fi , or even why Seinfeld is funny on so many levels. Words move me. I'm very soft-hearted about most things, especially animals, but I have a stoicism about me that is sometimes interpreted incorrectly. I do have a definite edge and an often "retro-adolescent" sense of humour at times. You've been warned - I am a smart-ass. My generally wicked sense of humour is part George Carlin and maybe a bit of Lucille Ball, but as my dad was British, I find that the British sense of humour is the most well-developed IMHO. My carnival does not have scary rides - unless you like that sort of thing! I do like to surround myself with avant-garde thinkers (when I can find them).........even if I have trouble keeping up. I have no dependants, and not wanted by any law enforcement agency. I'm an eclectic vegetarian, and as such, it's a personal practice of mine to seduce innocent meat-eaters into cruising the salad bars at every opportunity. You would be powerless to resist.
I'm not looking for anything serious, and don't have a lot of time to spend with someone. But I am a great and enduring friend who appreciates quality over quantity. And although I seem to be attracted to a very small segment of the population, I can and do get really into someone, which is a state of complete bliss for me. Lastly, I do confess to being very attracted to younger guys....(but if you're really hot and super-smart, just ignore the above and send me your "bon mots" already!) After all, I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cow bell!!
I spend way too much time creating totally dope playlists on my iPod..... Favourite music would be any female singer/songwriter, Katy Perry, All American Rejects, Amy Winehouse (will she ever get sober and lose that crack-hive?), Lily Allen, Andreas Vollenweider, Daft Punk, Coldplay, Nelly Furtado, Evanescence, The Police, Sarah McLaughlin, Emiliana Torrini, Prodigy, Royksopp, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Primal Scream, Moby, The Doves, Death in Vegas, Jack Johnson, Regina Spektor, Annie Lennox, Armin Van Buren, The Clash, Cranberries, Sigur Ros, Crowded House, Delerium/Enigma, Depeche Mode, Feist, Enya, Imogen Heap, Pink, Garbage, The Pixies, Jealous Girlfriends, Simple Minds......I also love classical music of any kind; chamber music in particular.
Favourite Movies include Amelie, Layer Cake, The Crying Game, Disco Pigs, The Lover, The English Patient, Donnie Darko, The Grifters, Chasing Amy, Being John Malkovich, Love and Human Remains, Exotica, "10", Black Widow, Lost in Translation, Roger Dodger, Stranger Than Fiction, Contact, Minority Report, Igby Goes Down, Pan's Labyrinth, and A.I.
I usually have several books on the go at one time, currently I'm reading The Red Queen - other authors I love to read include Kant, Sagan, Suzuki, Hitchens, Dawkins, Sam Harris, Jennifer Michael Hecht, Douglas Hofstadter, Edward O. Wilson, Ursula K. Leguin, Noam Chomsky, Jeremy Rifkin, Ray Kurzweil, Robert Thurman, Deepak Chopra, Stephen Jay Gould, and Al Franken (yep, of SNL fame). I'm also interested in the classics such as Hardy, Trollope, Charles D!ckens, and the Bronte sisters. From time to time, I think it's important to read conflicting viewpoints, just to keep yourself well-balanced and moderate.
So, who am I looking for? Someone sexy, edgy, intense, intelligent, blessed with good manners, and preferably university educated. You must love animals! A guy who loves to blast animals with a shotgun is not exactly what I'm looking for, ditto if you own any camos or mesh clothing...Double ditto if you have a rather flexible relationship with reality...I'm just sayin'........
As a free-thinker, your mind will be your most challenging and appealing quality - I'd love for you to tickle my synapses (smile). Maybe you even like sexual power games. You laugh and cry with the same intensity. You are someone whose image will come to me at the most inconceivable moments. You do need to be about 5'10" (in reality, and not in your own mind) to get on this ride - that's not an arbitrary number, since I'm around 5'10" or 5'11" with my shoes on.......and I do like my heels...sorry if this seems harsh!
I'm hoping to meet someone I can learn from - the best friendships and relationships I 've had involved me learning something truly life-altering from someone else; those experiences cannot be overrated. Maybe, upon meeting you, I'll be inspired to be a better person in some way! And in exchange for all this, I'm capable of writing you an alibi that will keep you out of prison.....:-)
Now what did I do with the car keys? Oh, that's right, I can never find them until I actually stop looking for them. I am beginning to think that the same is true for relationships - you cannot find what you want or need while you're actively searching....I know you must be out there in cyberspace and I know that when you read these words, you will feel compelled to respond. That elusive physical attraction called chemistry, must be there. But if not, it would still be great to meet people to share humour and other observations with, over a Stella from time to time.....n'est pas?
Please note that I am only interested in meeting; the mere mention of chatting on Yahoo or MSN will not only cause my eyes to glaze over, but my entire head will glaze over! Not a good look for me.....This is predominantly a dating/meet-up site after all. I don't plan to be on here long enough to have to resort to text-messaging men in a retirement community. To some, my refusal to acknowledge you on msn is a bug, to others, it's a feature. You decide.....If you're not willing to exchange phone numbers and arrange a meeting fairly quickly, then you should probably forego communicating with me as I will lose interest.
