I am a doer NOT a mere watcher-- I don't mind being in front of people (good thing, since I'm a teacher), and I'm always up for trying new things and new places. I'm a red-blue personality mix and I tend to gravitate to out-going people and people who are loyal and sensitive.

I thrive on good conversation and people who can get me to think about things in new and different ways.

As for appearance: I don't like yuppie muscles or that metrosexual thing, I'm an Idaho native and we value real work and callouses. Body-obsessed boys need not apply. I'd love to talk to men who value BRAINS in themselves and their acquaintances.

Send me a note-- I'd love to get to know you.

This picture is from a picture-phone and is not lovely but it is at least recent-- I took it today.

Travel (I'm working my way around the world-- I haven't been out of the country for a couple of years and I'm itching to go again

Playing music (piano, singing)

Making and trying new foods (my last big "thing" was making Greek food)

Mountains (wandering aimlessly through or buzzing through in a 4-wheeler)

Brain candy movies (Action/adventure or comedy mostly. I go to chick flicks with friends-- not my first choice since I try to suppress that girlie swoon mechanism-- I haven't quite figured out how to completely, though, so I'm still a bit of a romantic sucker)

Battles of wits (I'm known for philosophizing about seemingly trivial things)

Guilty pleasures: Jasper Fforde, Without a Trace, Russell Crowe, and ebay

Things I hate: reality TV, closed minds
