Profile of Kaex

hello! well, okay, here it goes. i'm single and looking and very happy in my life. i love to laugh and love to make others laugh. i can totally laugh at myself (and often do). i'm looking for someone to spend time with and to laugh with, a companion with whom to enjoy life. a "partner in crime" of sorts. my ideal match is intelligent, outgoing, funny, good looking, open-minded, well educated, a bit wild, self confident, has a strong sense of self and is charming. integrity is an absolute must!!!! he must take care of himself both mentally and physically. he must live in close proximity to me, the "long distance" thing just isn't practical. i seem to be drawn to the more "intellectual" type. i require mental stimulation from the people with whom i spend time. that said, in the interest of full disclosure, i must admit that south park is my favorite tv show. i love to travel so a good healthy dose of wanderlust would be greatly appreciated. my kids are a little older now so i have lots of freedom. wanna go to europe?? i do!! i own an awesome backpack and love "going off the grid" for a few days. i love to read and almost always have 2 or 3 books going at the same time. i truly enjoy good conversation and good music. would love to learn more about wine, wanna teach me?? i crave a good challenge and tend to be very curious!! i'm almost always up for a spirited verbal debate and often take on the role of devil's advocate!!!! the philosophy of "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" has gotten me into trouble more than once ;) i totally dig a tasteful, well placed tattoo. i have tons of energy and little fear!!!! i can be a little irreverent at times, but never in a mean way. i respect other peoples opinions and expect the same in return. i "get" sarcasm and use it freely so be prepared! i tend to become quite passionate about the things and people in which i truly believe. getting dates is not the issue, i'm looking for quality not quantity. please have pictures posted. i don't view this as a shallow request, just realistic. also, unless you are truly looking for a real friendship, please pass me by. i'm so not about players! if you happen to be a "brainiac" who is constantly mistaken for johnny depp, well, i'm already putty in your hands! if you love to enjoy life, and you are looking for ME, then hopefully you're the one i've been searching for. let's find out, shall we?!!! :)
