I'm the quiet type. I'm the girl next door. I'm decidedly weird. I'm an open book. I'm driven by connection. I’m easy going. I'm a listener. People tend to open up to me. I've been called an empath. I'm a kisser. I'm a cuddler. Music is very important to me. I write. I'm well versed in classic and modern literature. I’m an unapologetic film snob. I'm sort of a mess, but I keep smiling through it all. And I have a romantic streak a mile wide.

I value good conversation and enjoy getting to know people. I appreciate intelligence, humor, honesty, sensitivity, creativity and passion. I realize I'm not going to meet anybody local to me on this site and I have a general rule against long distance relationships. Instead, I'm content to talk to people and make friends, however that may manifest.

I don't talk in the rooms, preferring instead to chat in private. If anything you've read here resonates with you, feel free to reach out to me with a pm. While it's true I may be a bit of a loner, I'm paradoxically quite approachable.
