About me: I'm fascinated by criminology and government. I have read many books and taken many classes on these topics and I’m full of useful and useless knowledge. In fact, I have two B.S. degrees (one in Criminology, the other in Government). I LOVE to laugh, therefore, a lack of a sense of humor is a deal breaker. I read a LOT. I love to smile. I make people laugh with my randomness. I love surprises and romance. I like making friends. I prefer male friends to female friends because females are too dramatic and emotional. *gasp* I enjoy traveling, the outdoors, learning, technology, kissing (nice lips and proper technique are required), and enjoying the company of good friends.

I believe strongly in honesty. I absolutely HATE lying. I am passionate and knowledgeable about the things that interest me. I am logical, practical, and rational in my thoughts and actions. I am emotional in certain situations, but am able to remain completely objective, if desired. I am not an argumentative person, but I will defend what I know as fact. I am very open to new ideas or practices, no matter my personal opinion on them. I am a great listener and full of practical and helpful advice. I am very critical of things. I try to pick things apart. I will tell you the truth, though you may not wish to hear it. I do not back down easily from something I passionately believe in. I am frequently skeptical, but occasionally idealistic. I love learning about new things in our country and across the world. I love quoting intelligent souls of the past. I enjoy speaking in innuendos (with the right people). My various books, DVDs, CDs, and other media items are eclectic in nature. I enjoy traveling, though I hate flying (it takes too long and is boring and irritating), unless you have a private jet you're willing to share. In that case, I'm in. Honestly, I prefer trains for travel. [Note: if you read ALL of that and are not frightened, disgusted, or tired of reading, then you should contact me.]

I'm looking for: My ideal guy would be honest, intelligent, funny, mature, respectful, determined, kind, caring, romantic, fun, successful, and adorable. He would also have nice lips, eyes, and body (that is, according to me -- I'm not THAT shallow). There are other qualifications, but you'll have to ask me what they are. Here are some turn-ons: humor, honesty, smiling, romance, wit, quirk, strong arms, sweet talk, surprises, cologne (or just the clean smell of soap), owning or loving dogs, intelligence, ability to hold a conversation, openness, love of animals in general, loyalty, respect, accents, liberalism. Here are some turn-offs: Smoking, LYING, drug use, heavy drinking, stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, stubbornness, cheating, immaturity, complacency, narrow-mindedness, apathy. [Note: if you plan to contact me, please be serious. Don't contact me if you're way over my age limit, simply want sex, don't have anything to say, or you're just spamming all the "pretty" girls you see.]
