About Me

The basics:
I love house music - fell in love in '92, started DJing in '98, and hope to someday be able to recreate the beautiful music I hear in my head for other peoples listening pleasure. I used to dispatch aircraft for a living - now I'm back in school with plans of acquiring a masters in nursing. I have a marvelously happy marriage [read: NOT interested in romantic or sexual relationships with anyone other than my husband, so don't waste my time if that's what you're looking for.] I am an atheist, and am committed to using the faculties of my mind to understand the world around me.
The longer version:
Well, perhaps I should get the things that turn some people off out of the way first. These include being judgemental at times, pretty much complete obliviousness to all subtlety, disregard for peoples feelings concerning truth, some difficulty in understanding perspectives other than my own, and occasionally a very self-righteous attitude. I am also a complete and utter klutz, and while I am easily amused and enjoy laughing at myself I am quite devoid of wit.
For the most part though I would have to say that I rock. I pursue happiness, attempt to expand my horizons, and do what I can to mitigate my shortcomings. I try and accept people for who they are, and am fiercely loyal to those I care about. Staying excited about life, living in the now without completely neglecting plans for the future, appreciating the beauty in this world while recognizing its horrors--these are things I strive for.

I'd like to meet:

You'll score a significant amount of bonus points if you are an atheist or a househead. I appreciate people who enjoy discussion of ideas and I hold honesty, personal responsibility, and passion in high regard. Rationality, confidence, assertiveness, creativity, active mindedness, and individuality are all fabulous qualities I aspire to, as should you! I definitely have a soft spot for goofy, wacky, geeky, freaky, or otherwise outrageous folks that aren't afraid to be themselves.
