I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and I love it here. The gloom, the beautiful wild places, the omnipresent fear of Bigfoot.

I’m looking for a slow burn, a best friend cake with romance icing, someone who loves love and is ready for forever.

Regardless of distance, I’d like to meet someone who wants to do things together. Play a co op video game (see title), go on a watch party date, arrange a jack o lantern carve-off via video call.

I want to talk about everything (and nothing). I want to share things. Send me a picture of that neat mushroom growing in your woodpile, share a song that sounds the way you feel, tell me the thoughts that are keeping you awake. I am riveted by the minutiae of other people’s daily lives and inner worlds.

About me: Sweet, spooky, silly, sad, and probably other adjectives starting with the letter S. I’m fond of waxing poetic, needless elaboration, and the em dash. I enjoy writing, photography, painting, reading, rock hounding, poetry, PC gaming, fragrance, and am always eager to try out new hobbies or learn new skills.

I am extremely tender hearted, sentimental, and nostalgic. Despite being introspective and prone to bouts of melancholy, I’ve managed to retain a decent sense of humor, still get excited about small things, and can be quite silly when I’m in a good mood.

About you: If I’ve learned anything, it’s that despite any preferences I may have, sometimes the best match doesn’t seem ideal on paper. That said, I would probably get along best with someone who is expressive, warm, affectionate, communicative, attentive, devoted, and kind. I’ve got a soft spot for artists of all kinds, general weirdos, and folks who unironically say “courting” in reference to dating rituals. I tend to put a lot of effort into relationships, and it would be lovely to have that reciprocated.

If any of this piques your interest - congratulations on your dubious taste! Send me a message, preferably with a photo, and let me know what your favorite planet is and what flavor you think it would be.
