33 year old female. Cleveland, OH. It takes a long time to get to know me. But once I trust someone I like to be as open and honest with them as possible. I may be quiet or reserved at first, but once I sense we have compatible personalities/values, I can go off and be super silly, frank, flirtatious, and may even call you out on your bullshit. I don't take things at face value, and I will ask for evidence. Prove it! I am much more myself with one person or just a small group of like-minded people than a large party or dance club.
I ponder a lot of weird things and may ask you some pretty difficult questions. I love discussing controversial ideas. This vegetarian wants to slay your sacred cow. If people want to sit around talking about petty, prosaic nonsense, I will just keep quiet. But when I do find someone who can appreciate me, I am incredibly loyal, kind and and forgiving. The only thing that would make me dislike someone forever is if they take advantage of this. L89YT (You found me!)
I have strong opinions and values, but being a devotee of intellectual honesty, I will change them if I hear a good argument. Often I will seek out opposing arguments to my own ideas, or try as best I can to see things from other people's point of view. I respect those who do the same. I also like to see the big picture. I have a hard time dealing with silly, pointless rules or image for image's sake. I guess I'm pretty practical.
I'm not a typical anything: feminist, liberal, vegetarian, atheist, skeptic, academic, intellectual, or woman. Am I a rebellious non-conformist? I stopped caring some time between the onslaughts of Milli Vanilli and Color Me Bad. Like my friend says, "Yeah, everybody on myspace is Che Guevera."
