| Brainy hillbilly girls need love too. |
| about myself: |
There's a cliche that genius is being able to hold two opposing ideas in the mind simultaneously. While I'm not sure that's the greatest measure of genius, I'd say that anyone who decides to date me is probably going to have to have a bit of that skill.
I'm down to earth and completely in my head. I work around and hang around people who consider themselves part of the intellectual strata of society but I have a helluva a lot more fun drinking beer with the rednecks at the bar in my tiny Arkansas hometown. I spend a lot of time thinking about subjects that most people probably don't consider much (Arkansas history, the economics of salt, the Maori language, how to define the term "magic realism") and at the same time I am never happier than when someone has just told me a really good dirty joke. Your mother will probably think I'm exceptionally polite but not so great at helping out with dinner. Your father will probably think I'm a little too quiet. Your 12 year old cousin will think I'm uber-awesome because I know all about his WoW addiction.
You will probably think I'm too smart for my own good, or, potentially, a little too rowdy. But you will probably have fun, unles you are a minister, a recent widower with several children you want raised, or an ultra-conservative ego maniac. We are probably not going to get along well if you are. Move along . . .But if you can read between the lines of this introduction, and you are none of those things listed above, e-mail me. |

| about my work: |
| I teach at a small college and write short stories. I love my work and I'm damn blessed to be able to do it. I worked hard to get where I am, actually. Although I'm not exactly where I want to be yet. There's a book to publish (someday!) and a tenure-track job to snag along the way, somehow. But right now, I'm so happy to be teaching that not much else matters in terms of work. I'm also looking forward to spending the summer in the mountains in a tiny cabin finishing a manuscript. That, actually, is my ideal work environment :D. |

| attributes: | Caring, Communicative, Generous, Honest, Intelligent/Bright, Sensitive, Trustworthy |
| my idea of a great date: |
| It's been forever since I've been on a proper date, but I think it would be cool to drive up to a little touristy place in the mountains and have a long lunch, maybe walk around and talk. A long afternoon at a museum is always fun and a date is a good excuse to visit them. Even a few hours browsing around a bookstore sounds interesting. Anything that gets us thinking, talking, finding out about each other and the world around us, to sound completely cheesy. |
| the person I would like to meet: |
| I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, wants an equal rather than a helpmate, and can tolerate an artistic gal who lives a little wacky sometimes but who has a big heart. Ambition is okay but deliberate living is better. He absolutely must love dogs and sympathize with my aversion to cats. He must also be the sort of person that is more likely to listen to another person's point of view than instantly assume a defensive stance. He's got to feel stuff about the world, believe in something, and be working toward something he loves. An open mind opens lots of doors with me. |
