It seems steady work/car ownership/not living with mom or dad is high on the checklist. So I'll get that outta the way right now. Yes, I am gainfully employed, I have my own car and no I do not live with my parents. I have two wonderful children - 21 and 14. And just like everyone else, mine are the best and I'm the most passionate parent EVAR! I'm a geeky, nerdy, creatively driven, ambitious individual prone to bouts of introversion and shyness. I love good design, good music and good beer. I play guitar. You can sing with me if you like. I can cook. I clean. I open doors for others. I play video games. I read - often. I drink coffee - often. I rarely watch sports. I rarely participate in sports. Though I do realize the importance of being active. Yoga and trail running seem like attractive options. Not much of an outdoorsman, but I enjoy getting out to the Guthrie Green, etc. I'm a fairly liberal, agnostic-atheist. I smoke, but am working on quitting. I'm an atypical Okie - I have not hunted since I was a teen, and I don't spend my summers dreaming of being on the lake. The last time I went camping was actually when I lived in northern New Mexico as a kid. Not that I wouldn't do it again, it just hasn't been at the top of my to-do-list.I am a gentle, caring, compassionate individual who sometimes tries a little too hard. My tenacious nature can be a double-edged sword.
