It's been a couple of months so guess who's back, back again. I'm just going to copy and paste my previous post here because I feel like I captured everything I wanted to in it and I couldn't do better with a rewrite. I would prefer if you send PMs rather than chats because chats are annoying to access with the app I use, so it's likely that I won't see them.

Let's see if I can make this any shorter than usual. Survey says probably not.

I'm 34 and monogamous and would prefer to talk to people no younger than 27. I'm okay with friends, but I'm really looking for my person. Someone who wants to watch horror movies with me, who wants to share their writing and wants to read mine, who enjoys making playlists and wants to swap music, especially if they also use Spotify because that's where my 40 playlists currently live. I mostly listen to indie folk, hip-hop, R&B, and pop, but I'm open to other genres that aren't too aggressive and loud. EDM/dubstep and metal are hard sells. Lyrics are everything to me.

I'm also childfree and will be for the rest of my life, and I'm a pretty vocal leftist. You don't have to be a political activist necessarily, although 😍 if you are, but I'm not interested in people who are non-political, moderate, or right wing. I love cats and I have 3 of my own, and I read books like it's my job, which I wish it was. Please talk to me about books. My favorite genres are horror, thriller, sapphic young adult, and memoir, but really the only things I don't read are historical and most sci-fi. I write poetry and just got a poem published in December for the first time in 2 years, so bonus points if you're a poet, but not a requirement. We don't have to share absolutely everything. I love listening to people enthusiastically ramble about their passions whether I share them or not.

It would be nice to connect with fellow creatives, whatever your flavor of creativity is. Artists, writers, musicians, crafters, other things I'm not thinking of. I want to cheer on your projects and help you brainstorm and proudly share your work with my loved ones. My ideal person has also done the emotional work to be a healthy partner, or is in the process of doing that work. I've been in therapy for 6 years and I've gone from hating myself and wanting to die to loving myself a lot and feeling the most emotionally stable I've ever been, and while I don't expect exactly that from a partner, I'm in a place where I do want someone who values mental wellness and healthy communication and is doing their best at those things. I have PTSD and ADHD and PMDD and maybe other jumbles of letters, so I'm no stranger to brain weirdness. Now I'm just more focused on moving forward and learning to manage things without constant chaos and crisis.

Some things I don't do well or at all but want to get better at are baking, knitting, roller skating without busting my head open, gardening without being a flagrant plant murderer who should be in jail for my crimes against plantkind, reading tarot, and playing guitar. If you do any or all of these things, say hi and teach me.

I think I'm somewhere on the asexual spectrum, but that's something I'm still trying to figure out, so it's not a super significant part of who I am. I don't think I'm sex-repulsed and that's about all I know.

I'm looking for big, impossible, starry-eyed love. Cliche love, kissing in the rain and dancing to records in the living room and romantic trips to Paris/Italy/etc and a wedding with everyone we love in attendance to celebrate that we found each other. I used to swear I didn't want or care about any of that, but that was when I didn't think women were an option for me. Now I want it all. I want to live in a farmhouse/cottage with my wife and raise a bunch of cats and maybe some chickens and definitely a hedgehog and some goats and any animal except big dogs, really, and bake bread and keep bees for honey and be the warm cozy local lesbians who support the arts and act as surrogate aunts to all the LGBTQ kids coming up after us. Obviously it starts with low-pressure conversations and fun hangouts and getting to know each other to assess compatibility, I'm not here to u-haul, but that's the ultimate goal. I don't care where you live, although the US or Canada would be ideal because transatlantic long distance is really hard and I want to meet in person before years have passed. I have no intention to stay in Oklahoma long term. It's a terrible place to live.

Video game lesbians are so cool and good, but unfortunately due to being totally blind, I can't be one of you and I can't play most video games with you. Accessibility is finally becoming kind of a priority, but there are still miles and miles to go. I love to hear about games though, so if you're okay with just having someone listen to you describe them while you play, I'm here for that.

If you care a lot about careers and finances and ambition and things like that, I'm not your girl. I'm currently unemployed due to disability and health and probably will be for the foreseeable future. I keep myself occupied with a lot of things, but I have no grand aspirations toward any big capitalism-based goal. I would love to eventually become a librarian or a social worker, but those are far off goals. Right now it matters more to me to just be happy and get healthy and to build a life I want to live.

Wow, survey was right. This might be my longest one yet. I guess it's fitting because now you know what you're in for. I ramble. A lot. I look forward to rambling with you, if any of this caught your fancy.
