I am "the good-hearted girl beneath the
barnacles that a touch of kindness'd bring to life again."
I am a single mom, the "fun mom" to my daughter's friends, the one that lets
them roll down the windows and serenade pedestrians with the "Grease"
soundtrack; sometimes, I join in...
I like Nietsche's line, "that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Also like Rogers & Hart quot;Burned a lot/But learned a lot." You probably can tell that I believe experience is the best teacher. Pretty ironic, considering that I am a teacher.
You could say I am conscientious, and try to follow the Golden Rule. I think it blows the 10 Commandments away in its difficulty. Know what I mean? I also strongly believe "there but for the grace of God go I." I have not EARNED many of the blessings I enjoy, like my health or my bright, loveable daughter.
I am smart and definitely have a way with words...but I hate people who can't admit it when they are wrong (aka "The Fonz Syndrome"). I also don't like it when people offer me unsolicited advice. I will refrain from doing the same unless I think you're in a really, really dangerous situation. I am a no-BS kind of person, but also tactful. I will ALWAYS respect your feelings and insist on having my feelings respected.
I love hearing music, and my favorite artists include Joni Mitchell, The Jam, Paul Weller, The Clash, Rilo Kiley, Old 97's, Brendan Benson, Richard Thompson, Aimee Mann, Sam Phillips, the Decemberists, Mary Gauthier, XTC and basically most of the stuff on WFUV. We don't have to have the exact same taste in music, but if you are into Top 40 music, we probably won't have anything in common. But if you could entertain the theory that Jessica Simpson sold her soul to the devil, then we need to talk
My Ideal Person:
OK, now who am I looking for? For starters, I want a peer. Sorry, but age is NOT just a number to me. I want someone close to me in age, not a "boy-toy" or a sugar daddy. You know, someone who grew up watching the Super Friends and the Laff-o-lympics and the Love Boat and Card Sharks. I have a really hard time respecting men who only want to date women younger than themselves. Guys, I hate to burst your bubble, but it's the 21st century! A lot of us women WANT you, but we don't NEED you like we did 75 years ago. So, if you don't want to be treated as financial objects then stop treating us as sex objects!! Come on now!!
Secondly, since I try hard to take care of myself physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually, I would like someone who appreciates this and tries to take care of himself in the same ways.
When I say "emotional" I mean you KNOW you have some emotional baggage and make active efforts to heal from it. I do not medicate my pain by drinking, drugging or sitting in front of the tv. When I say "spiritual", I don't mean going to services every week. I mean you really believe you have a soul and you take care of it. I mean that while you live in the real world, you know the importance of retreating from it.
Finally, while I may sound serious, know that I don't take myself too seriously and I hope you don't either. I hope you can be really goofy at times, because Lord knows I can. I really do believe that like Reader's Digest says, "laughter is the best medicine," and I try to get a liberal dose of it as often as possible.
