Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my profile! If you're looking for fun, you've come to the right place. You won't find any drama, drugs, abuse or BS of any kind. From me you can always expect the truth, a loving and non-judgemental demeanor, and an un-paralleled zest for life. I'm still figuring out what life is all about and trying to find what God wants me to do with it all. For now, I'm in Helena working at a non-profit community out-reach facility. In my spare time I try to do anything in which I can love, laugh and live life to the fullest. Anything else you're currious about, just drop me a line and ask. I don't bite........ hard.... ;)

UPDATE: 2-22-09
I am no longer at the community outreach facility. I learned so much while working there and built relationships with some really neat people. However - I feel I've found my true calling - I am now working at a local high school in the Special Ed. Dept. as a Teacher Aide. I provide academic support, accommodations and other services to students with disabilities and other special needs. I'm happy to report that I've found a comfortable nitch for myself, and have found a career I can be happy with for a very long time! However, I'm a firm believer in "never say never", as, for the right gal, under the proper circumstances - I would be willing, ready and able to relocate AFTER fullfilling my contractual obligations with the school I am currently serving at.

UPDATE 8-10-09

I've come across another "must have" in my ideal mate. I realize this narrows my search possabilities to the metaphorical equivelant to "searching for a needle in a haystack," but I think all of us are really "at that point" as of day 1, anyway. lol Seriously, though - I seek a trait in my match that many people deny the existance of; but, I belive HAS TO be out there, somewhere. That trait being: someone who will make the first move . Just about every tive I'VE made the first move - the venture resulted in near disasterous consequences. This other direction is certainly worth a try, eh'? :)

Update/Clarification 8-21-09

There has been much speculation and hubub about what precisely I meant when I said I preferred a woman to make the "first" move. My cheif motivation for that has been the countless e-mails I have crafted for which I have received nothing in return. Not even a "go away" or a "thanks, but no thanks" - NOTHING. However - being as neither side has wanted to go the extra mile as it were for the other - we are at a stand-still and both sides walk away from the table feeling unhappy and no one is feeling like a winner. In light of this I have the following to propose: lets both give a tiny bit and see if a healthy compromise can't be reached. If I recieve some kind of indication that an e-mail from me is wanted - I will be more than happy to write the "first e-mail." Lets, then, define what I consider a proper indication. POF recently removed the portion of everyone's profile stating how many "favorites" lists any particular member is on. So, I figure - if you want me to contact you - you can add me to your favorites list. Once that happens, I will e-mail you and we can begin correspondance. If at any time you wish to discontinue the chit-chat - I would very much appreciate the common courtesey of removing me from your favorites list. Or even better would be an actual e-mail stating your intentions of not wanting me to have further contact with you. After all - a lack of communication is how most wars have started. I find it increasingly amazing how many fights, wars, etc could've been prevented had one side or the other plainly stated in no uncertain terms what their intentions were or were not. I sincerely hope I have cleared up this debate. Happy Fishing! :)

Something in which we can interact, and just have a good time. I'm not into anything particularly fancy. Probably some kind of shared interest - if we're doing something we both like to do - I think that will remove some of the pressure of being with a new person. Coffee is always a good ice-breaking first date, as is taking a walk, or some type of outdoor recreation... The nice thing about living in Helena is that there are museums (history, art, etc) to take in, concerts to experience, and all kinds of fun to be had if you know where to look. Most of it is inexpensive, fun, and a good way to break the ice. As the relationship progresses, of course, you can get into more fancy stuff... I've found that in a relationship it's the little things that you do for one another that are most romantic. I've been known to use my gifts of creativity in creating romance in relationships. But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, eh'? ;)
