About Me

I'm new to Dallas and I'm looking for friends, pen pals, and maybe a relationship. Who knows what I will find here? I love Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, and Japanese Animation. I am also a fan of Japanese Manga and I will read almost anything. I am a huge Terry Pratchett fan and wish I could live on DiscWorld. I love all sorts of arts and crafts. I knit, sew, crochet, quilt and do lots of mixed-media projects. I can combine some pretty strange things and make them look fabulous. My pic is a couple of years old, but I don't have anything more recent. Hope you don't mind. I am bisexual, not confused, not experimenting, etc... If that totally freaks you out, just move along, there's nothing to see here.

I have a slightly twisted sense of humor. I think Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl is hilarious. I am fairly outgoing and usually get along with most people. Sometimes I talk too much. I need to learn to forgive people. I am usually a very understanding person.  I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person, but I'm no brainiac.  I am a geek, but not a computer geek.  I am actually a bit stunted in the technology department.  I don't have a fancy I-Phone, I don't belong to FaceBook or any other social sites, my computer is old and rather sad, and I really don't know my way around my computer very well.  However, I appreciate the geeks who DO know how to use all these things.  I love techies and brainiacs.   

I am just under 5'4" and a bit plump. Some would call me curvy. I have brown eyes and dark brown hair. I am growing my hair out long again. I have one tattoo, but it is rather large. The guy who did it messed it up and I've had a lot of repair work done on it, but it's still not quite right. Oh well, live and learn.

College Graduate

A.J.Dimond High, Anchorage, Alaska. St. Ann's school, Midland, Texas. St. Cecilia's school, Lafayette, Louisiana. Mears Junior High, Anchorage, Alaska. Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona.

I used to be a science teacher many moons ago. I love science, but never liked teaching. Teenagers make teaching so damn complicated.  I am currently a cashier. I used to be a merchandiser for several big name companies but then the crummy economy happened. I would love to become a writer someday. I write mostly horror and fantasy in my free time. I would also like to publish a book of knitting patterns one day.

My first job was answering the phone and making appointments at a hair salon.

Most of my family live in Oklahoma. I am the youngest of three. I have one brother and one sister. Most of my relatives are nuts. I love them, but I'm glad I live here and they live in Oklahoma. My mother's side of the family is mostly English, Irish and German. My father's side has some Choctaw (Native American).

Gaming- I still have a Sega Genesis, a Nintendo, and even an Atari! I spend most of my time on the Playstation 2 or Wii. I don't have any of the newer systems. My ex took the X-box after making sure I was addicted to Borderlands. God, I miss that game! Aarrrgh! Lots of arts and crafts.  Movies-Anything with zombies, Monty Python, HitchHikers Guide, Star Wars, Star Trek, British comedies, animation.  Gardening, primitive skills.  Books- Clive Barker is my favorite Horror author and his recent forays into fantasy are amazing. If you haven't read the Abarat series, then you are missing out. Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld series just keeps getting better and better.  Stephen King, J.P. Lovecraft, The DragonLance books, Andre Norton, Philip Pullman, Cherie Priest's Boneshaker(a fabulous Steam Punk novel), Jean Auel's Earth's Children series(Clan of the CaveBear, etc...) Did I mention that I like books?   I enjoy hiking and rock hunting too(Yes, I actually go outdoors on occasion).  Any museums dedicated to Geology, Paleontology, or Archeology are right up my alley too.

I don't really have one right now. I go to work and I go home. Kind of sad, I know. I made a couple of friends since I moved here, but one doesn't have much in common with me and the other lives in Fort Worth, so we don't get together very often. Hopefully, I can find some nice people on this site who live closer to me.  It doesn't take too much to entertain me.  I'm happy just staying home watching a movie, playing video games or a board game.  I would like to see more of Dallas.  I'm sure a city this large has tons of museums and other cool stuff to see.

I'm looking for a kind-hearted person who treats everyone with respect. Someone who doesn't play mind-games or use people. You must be geeky enough to understand my jokes. I have never been too picky about looks because I tend to see what is inside someone, rather than what is on the outside. There are a lot of physically beautiful people out there who are absolutely nasty on the inside! I'm not too picky about hair or eye color either, but I do have a weakness for redheads and big blue eyes. Pasty-white skin is a bonus. :-)

I am an "Oil Brat". My stepfather used to work for an oil company and we moved a lot.  I even lived in Africa for a year.  I hope to do some travelling one day.  I would love to see Great Britain, France, Germany, Australia and too many other places to list. 

I don't drink much. I have had a few glasses of wine before and I like Mojitos. I've never actually been drunk before.

I think it's possible to eat fairly healthy and still enjoy a pizza or Chinese takeout every now and then. Life's too short to starve yourself, but there is such a thing as moderation.

Absolutely no drugs.

I could honestly care less about fashion. Never have cared, never will care. I wear what I like and hopefully, you do to.

I need to get in better shape, but it is hard to get motivated. You don't have to be super-fit to catch my eye. I tend to like scrawny, pale guys anyway. I like voluptuous women though. I have no idea why my brain works the way it does. Weird, huh?

I stay pretty clean, but I think it is insane that some Americans take 3 showers a day.  Being clean is a good thing, but it's getting a bit ridiculous these days.  Back in the pioneer days, you were lucky if you got one bath a week.   There is such a thing as a happy medium though.  Most people today are hygiene obsessed and drench themselves in perfume, cologne, and those damn body sprays. I have allergies to a lot of chemicals, so I believe that less is more. Deoderant is good, but please avoid all the frou-frou body chemicals so I don't have an asthma attack.

I don't have any children and I'm getting a bit old to start now. I get along pretty well with kids if you have some.

I don't currently have any pets, but I like all sorts of animals. I only ask that you keep any pet hair under control.  I have a few allergies.

I'm non-religious. I believe people can be good and do the right thing without thinking of their rewards in the afterlife or worrying about going to Hell for being a jerk.

Absolutely no smoking! I have allergies.
