Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am laid back per, but I also a responsible hard working professional. I stay busy at home. I live in a historic home in a historic neighborhood in Mt Vernon. So there are always projects to work on. I think Hippie description fits me well because I enjoy organic things, I grow my own vegetables and try to get things locally. I am a clean hippie however and am also clean cut. So you may not expect me to be an open minded per based on my appearance. I treat others the way I like to be treated. I believe what comes around goes around, so I like to surround myself with genuinely good people. I am a positive per and I enjoy life and like to explore new things. Each day is a blessing and every morning is a new start to a new adventure with many challenges and opportunities. I enjoy the lemons almost as much as I enjoy the lemonade I make out of them. I think I am well rounded, I grew up in a small town in Illinois, went to a large state school in Illinois, and after school moved to Chicago and lived there for almost 10 years. I also have lived many years in the Quad Cities area and still get back often since most of my family is in that area and many of my friends. I have traveled many places in my life, but I still like quiet evenings at home, spending time with family and friends. I enjoy long conversations that go into the wee hours of the morning that allow you to really get to know someone. I like dining out, theater,the arts, film, and video games. In my free time I read about current events, history, science, genetics, archaeology, and anthropology. I also like to work in my the yard with gardening and landscaping. I love nature and enjoy camping,fishing, hiking, and biking. I am open minded and always give people the benefit of the doubt. I like to have fun and laugh and try new things, traveling and sharing new experiences, and explore different cultures, the arts, and cuisines. I also enjoy cooking, grilling out, and trying new recipes. I am looking for a woman who is well rounded, fun, kind, sweet, and sexy. I think I am a well rounded per, looking for my best friend to share some adventures with and hopefully evolve into more.
