back in the land of the tech-identified

what's happened in the 14 months since I last posted?

well, I:

- failed to get knocked up
- broke up with the boy (in a rather spectacular fashion)
- left Tucson in a hurry
- settled remarkably comfortably in the belly of the beast
- got an office with a door and a window
- was adopted by two horses (that's me riding the big one, and my friend holding the little one)

















- began to wear high heels to work every day
- started on the adventure of home ownership
- returned to coprporate america
- elected to postpone grad school
- continued becoming bitter and jaded
- had two birthdays
- posted the following personal ad:

For a short time only, if you possess at least 2/3 of these necessary (though not sufficient) requirements, you can win a date with me. Ready?
1. house (that's not with me)
2. job (that I didn't get for you, and that pays you enough to subsist)
3. car (or bike or skateboard or bus pass... as long as you're mobile without my help)
4. relatively stable mental health (in therapy; you're good.)
5. no illegal addictions (cigarettes are fine)
6. social skills (can I take you to the company christmas party?)
7. personal hygeine (do you shower more than once a month?)
8. an education (or the desire to get one - i'm okay with the school of hard knocks)
9. opinions (of your very own)
10. goals (also of your very own)
11. hobbies (please, no video/computer games. they're not hobbies.)
12. an adequate sex drive (to be determined)
13. a healthy relationship with your family (natural or constructed)

What you get: I'm a 29 year old butch dyke, except when I have to drag it up at work and then I'm a butch dyke in a power suit. I'm 5'8, a size 6 in girl clothes, and relatively attractive (though I have a pretty impressive black eye at the moment). I have a good job, a decent house, a bunch of dogs, a couple of horses, and a token cat. I can drive a stick shift, know which fork to use, speak multiple languages, and won't embarrass you in public. I don't dance or believe in god. I like dark beer and red wine.

If you know what three-day eventing is, you will automatically be my friend. If you have a truck and extra-tall horse trailer, I will follow you around like a border collie.

I don't eat animals, though I'm not offended by people who do. I live under a pop culture rock, and am much more comfortable discussing Aristotle than network TV. Despite that flaw, I can be fun at parties, and I have very good manners. We'll talk about sex later - suffice it to say I'm not shy, and can talk to anyone about anything. I'm also that rarest of breeds - a butch bottom.

Interested? Care to find out if I meet your criteria?

email is good - spelling counts.
