I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

I drink dark beer, red wine, strong whiskey, and hate diet soda. I laugh when I think something is funny, sometimes superfluously. I'm random, and a total f'ing joker. I sing in the car, dance in public, take long showers, and hate talking on the phone. I rearrange my apartment every three months. Music fuels my mental soundtrack. I get a thrill out of the road. I give good advice when it is asked of me. I'm a peacekeeper. Writing is my solitude, my outlet, my mirror. I'm a straight-shooter, and hate to play games unless I can take your money by winning.

My Interests

Art, photography, sculpting, drawing, museums. Hiking, camping, kayaking, geocaching, driving. Dining out, dining in, fondue, seafood, garlic. Writing poetry, prose, plays, short stories, editorials. Poker. Fixing things. Travel. Music. Film.

I'd like to meet:

My friends and lovers need to be of sound mind and body, able to process more than one thought at a time, and hold themselves and others to high standards. They need to appreciate those around them and possess common sense, social sense, and a firm sense of themselves. The world needs people who can see the beauty in everything: that the ocean is actually a brighter blue just after the sun goes down... weather makes sports interesting... snow provides you with a unique brand of silence... That it's okay to not know what you want if you at least know who you are... A good smile involves your whole face and a good laugh involves your whole body.

JENNIFER, der. GUINEVERE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Welsh Mythology
Pronounced: GWIN-e-veer [key]

Old French form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, which is composed of the elements gwen meaning "fair, white" and hwyfar meaning "smooth". In Arthurian legend she is the beautiful wife of King Arthur. Her betrayal of her husband with Mordred prompted the battle of Camlann, which led to the deaths of both Mordred and Arthur. Later versions of the legends tell of her adulterous affair with Sir Lancelot.
