I Would Describe Myself As

I'm pretty laid back, open-minded, adventurous (to a point), and kind-hearted. Honesty, integrity and kindness are three of the most important things to me as I navigate the waters of life, and I expect the same values in a partner.

People have described me by saying that I am like an onion: I have many layers that take a while to peel back to get to the center. I am so many different things that I find it hard to put myself in one category or the next. I am educated and well-versed, but I don't like to be intellectual all the time. I am a traveler, a writer, an artist, a foodie, and a sports fan. I like high-end places as much as dive bars and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. I like to get dolled up and to dress down...high heels or flip flops...hoodies or dresses, depending upon the occasion.

I like the outdoors and enjoying our beautiful Pac NW. I like camping, although hotels and rental houses are nice sometimes too. I love the water, although I can't say that I'm into water sports. Just being on the river or at the beach fills my soul with a certain je ne sais quoi. I love hiking, but not extreme hiking. I am also equally happy chilling in a hammock reading a book. That said, I'm far from an outdoors fanatic.

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, but I tend to listen to alternative rock, blue grass, country and soul music most. Going to concerts, even if I don't know the artist, is so much fun!

I love to laugh, and I've been told that I have a contagious laugh.

I have a fairly open mind. I am spiritual. I can't stand bigotry in any form and will stand up for others regardless of whether I know them. In fact, I have been known to get upset simply because people aren't being nice to other people. I just don't understand unkindness.

I have many tattoos, some of them very large pieces (on my side and back). My current artist says that I have gone from "having tattoos" to "being tattooed." They all have special meaning to me and I've worked with my artists over the years to make them uniquely "me." Some of them show when I wear short sleeves or tank tops or sandals, but they can be covered and I don't have full sleeves or neck tattoos. If tattoos are not your thing, no matter how tasteful, you should look elsewhere.

I don't need a man to feel complete, but finding someone to share life with would be great. I am looking for someone who is as multi-faceted as I am. One-dimensional people will lose my interest quickly.

I'm not interested in booty calls, so don't bother. I am not shallow and I am not interested in anyone who is.
