I'm a college student at ACU currently, majoring in Theatre. Theatre is my life, and someday I want to teach it at a high school level (or whatever the equivalent of it is over in Europe!). I read, write, draw, dance, sing, and act.
I'm very into the whole chivalry thing and I'm rather submissive. I can take control of a situation, any situation, if I need to, but I prefer to be taken care of if possible (this doesn't mean I'm incapable of taking care of myself. I do and often).
I like going to creative, romantic places on dates, dancing, going to local concerts, or just curling up in baggy pjs to watch a movie. I like dressing up, but if I can wander around in my shorts and baggy shirts, then I'm more than happy to.
I've been in a few long term relationships, all of them ending fairly happily. I try hard to not talk about them, but if I do, please understand and let me know if you're uncomfortable.
I love Italian, Greek, and Chinese food, but I like homemade meals so much more (it doesn't matter which party cooks).
I like lots of friends around on dates at first, but as I get more comfortable, I love one on one dates.
Right now, I need to stay in town and I cannot/will not move, but when I'm graduated from college, get all of my education finished, and earn enough money, I truly want to move to Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm quite serious about it.
I listen to just about everything. Some of my collection includes: Rise Against, Even in Blackouts, The Aquabats, The Fratellis, Green Day, Panic! At the Disco, Sigur Ros, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Bob Marley, Smashing Pumpkins, Gaelic Storm, Brobdingnagian Bards, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, the Bird and the Bee, Azure Ray, Arctic Monkeys, A Perfect Circle, Tool, and The Killers.

Anyone who finds The Whitest Kids U' Know to be hilarious will be my new favorite person.
My hope is that I'll be well off when I'm done with college. I don't care if I'm rich, per se, but I don't want to be barely making payments each month. I want to be comfortable! Less financial problems, happier life. That's all I want!
I don't want politics or religion to be terrible importance, though there has to be a degree of understanding. I'm not the most conventional person you'll ever meet.
I'm an artist through and through, and I just wish to find a kindred spirit.
My Ideal Person:
I'm really into guys who are out of the box, somewhat indie, but open to the mainstream world. Chivalry impresses me, as do men who cook and are good with kids. I like them dominant, tougher than me. I want to be carried in their arms or on their backs in a playful manner.
I want someone who loves singing and loves playing guitar, so that we can sing together. Gotta be kind of into musicals and broadway.
I want someone who doesn't mind showing that they care in public. Someone who buys flowers randomly and worries when I'm sick.
I don't want someone overly clingy and understands the need for alone time, as my random moods will want. But also someone who understands that I may want to spend hours upon hours with them.
I am looking for someone who is somewhat built, not ripped, but some definition and taller than me, please. Someone who's fairly good with money, not at all rich, but wise. I'm not too picky, but I know what I want.
Favorite films: Once, The Dark Knight, PS I Love You, Everything is Illuminated, Borat, My Left Foot, Labyrinth
Favorite musicians or bands: Regina Spektor, Even in Blackouts, Tool, Azure Ray, The Killers, Sigur Ros, Flogging Molly

Tell us about your personal style and why it works for you. Casual and comfy? Sharp and professional?: It depends on what day it is, really. Most of the time I prefer to feel comfortable, but look good, but there are many days when I want to look sexy. Other days, button up shirts, and more days, skirts and tennis shoes. It's what I feel like or what the situation calls for. However, comfort and relaxation are always important-- if you don't feel beautiful, you don't look beautiful.
