My Idea Of Fun Is  
I am a graphic artist/web designer living in the Twin Cities, and I enjoy doing creative things for a living, and as a hobby. I love fashion as well, but I wouldn't call myself a 'follower' of fashion. I just like the way it gives people a means of expressing themselves. I also love movies, old and new. I don't watch much television but I like unusual, unconventional shows, like Twin Peaks, Picket Fences, Six Feet Under.
I'm a little shy, but I communicate ideas and opinions well. I'm not into sports, but I'm also here to discover new interests, which I feel is important in enriching one's life experience.

Looking for

What Do You Find Attractive?  
Intelligence, Good Looks, Humor, Empathy, Sensitivity, Boldness, Oddities, Flirtatiousness, Wit, Thoughtfullness
What Do You Look For?  
I'm not specifically seeking another artist, but it would sure help if my match could appreciate art, and how important it can be to some people to express themselves in different ways. And it would be nice to have a few common interests. On the other hand, I do have friends who think and act completely differently from me. So, I guess if there's one thing I would definitely want to avoid, it's someone who's married to their career (or another person, of course!). Even though I totally understand that there are jobs that require that kind of dedication, I think I would feel left out if someone's job always came before love.--I'm just trying to convince myself that not every nice girl isn't already seeing someone.
What Kind Of Relationship Are You Seeking?
