I am intense, passionate, silly, and proud of being a smart ass. The humor I enjoy is not at the cost of other individuals or stereotypes, but as The Laughing Electric Blue Lady and a local goddess of Life-Affirming Laughter, I do collect jokes.

I think truly getting to know another human being can be one of the great adventures...

The philosophy of polyamory, to varying degrees, has always made sense to me.

At 19, I wrote the lyrics:

Yet I won't be yours
Sure you won't be mine
So we'll each be our very own --
For what you own is all you can share
And through our sharing
We both shall grow.

I went through the standard Serial Monogamy phase, and as it is important to me to keep my agreements, kept those agreements. As far as I know, so did my partners.

To be honest, I think I became *officially* poly in order to remain available to someone who wasn't available to "date" without putting my love / sex life entirely on hold... and without "cheating." That keeping my agreements thing, again. I don't even knowingly help other people break their agreements. [Some might argue that point, as I did a 14 month stint as a p/t professional phone sex worker, and some consider that men who call such lines are breaking agreements. I disagree.] I have done a WIDE variety of more conventional work.

This year, it will be 13 years since I have been in an agreement to be monogamous. I don't say that I will never make such an agreement again -- never say never -- but precisely because I take such agreements seriously, it is not something that I would do lightly or easily.

btw, I am 42 years old, no current or x-husbands, no kids. Used to have two cats.

Chronic student -- I've decided I value time over money, and live on scant amounts of the latter.

I deal with a number of "invisible disabilities," including a left ear that hears background noise better than voices, so I may say "You are on the wrong side" and move you over -- it means I want to hear what you are saying, so take it as a compliment! Hey, I'm a Scorpio -- just remember that you want to stay on my right side.

I consider myself to be bisexual and hetero-romantic -- a distinction that I am trying to propagate, so please feel free to use it. I think that if people distinguished their sexual vs. romantic tendencies, a lot more could be a lot more honest with themselves, and by extension, with others.

I am a University Brat -- that explains a lot about me, including my valuing of languag, tendency to precision, and sharing of information... I figure that learning from one another is one of the reasons we are all on this blue spinning ball in the first place... [In case anyone is curious, my father was an Anthropology professor -- cultural, studying people who are still alive -- at the U of NM in Albuquerque, where I was born, and my mom, from when I was 5 to 15, was a grad student in Modern English Poetry at Stanford. I ping-ponged even before they broke up. Take a gander at my school list and you'll see what I mean.]

Well, that's more than enough for now!!
