Favorite Movies: The Princess Bride:), Past Lives, Sinners, Lord of the Rings, Howl's Moving Castle, Pan's Labyrinth

Craziest Thing I've Done: I have a bad memory, but I'm also pretty spontaneous, especially if I'm with people I trust. One summer, I snuck into national parks out west after dark and camped/slept for free with some friends. We would just leave at sunrise. One night, I slept under the stars in a dry riverbed in Sedona. I heard drums and howling in the middle of the night walking around me. ...Also, occasional semi-public sex

Desired Location: surrounded by greenery on a sunny day but close enough to hear the ocean that I can walk into at any moment if I chose

Hobbies: Trying not to die while surviving chronic illnesses

Talents: Drawing and painting...I'm also one of those people who grew up being annoyingly good at anything I did.

Perfect Date: Something outside and casual where you can talk and get to know one another comfortably without much distraction, saving the bigger stuff for when you decide you actually want to be with and pursue the relationship - it's more fun that way anyway!

Turn Ons/Offs: Turn Offs: *I hate it when people don't have the common decency to operate in the world with the assumption of mutual respect - we all agree to that as participants in society. It's also probably hypocritical to not treat everyone with respect when you probably want everyone to respect you too. We are all human:) *People who flush with the toilet seat lid up in their home and others' homes...just scientifically provenly spraying the bathroom with bacteria and fecal matter...don't do it. It's so gross. Turn Ons: *People who operate from a place of mutual respect. *People who flush with the toilet seat lid down.

Best Reason to Know Me: I'm a genuinely kind, compassionate person who makes others comfortable
