Sunnycali, 46

Growing up as an eternal optimist, I believe we all have people that come into our lives and I definitely believe in soulmates - even if it means having to go through strangers online in finding each other.

I am an independent, ambitious, life-loving gal who likes to be with open-minded people and those who are also passionate, radiate positive energy and love what they do. Having just turned 30, I am in transition between moving and going back to school (I'm a graphic designer) so I am not looking for anything serious at this time.. yet I am open to seeing where it goes. I would just like to meet mature, free-spirited, ambitious men who would like to make a new friend and maybe go out on some fun dates (and maybe turn into something more). The profile is correct in saying that I am 4'0 and I'm very comfortable with who I am. I have a great outlet of friends and family. So if you can't handle it or are looking for an overnight h--k-p, don't bother reading further.

Some of my vices include going to the beach (particularly near San Diego), art galleries, coffeehousing, certain pubs clubs, indie stores, dancing, or going on outdoor hikes. Last year, I had the opportunity to backpack in London, Paris and Germany so I hope he should be a traveler too. My tuneage list includes U2, the Arcade Fire, the Kooks, Coldplay, the Beatles and some stuff in between. If you're 100% mainstream, I don't think we'll jive but I do have guilty tendencies like "Friends," "Lord of the Rings" and "The Simpsons."

I am political and you should be too somewhat - hopefully to the left. I am serious yet goofy, I can be quiet and outgoing, but most of all, I am looking for someone who has integrity, passion and treats our earth with respect. He should take care of his appearance, health and goals in life. I like anyone who likes the insatiable. If all of this sounds enticing, I'd love to meet you.
