so I came here looking for intelligent females, and good conversation, anything beyond that would purely be a bonus... I'm not really sure what I'm after, or who I am as a person, generally I like to make people laugh, to give them a warm greeting, and not leave them wishing I'd go away... I tend to over explain myself (I was a teacher for six years) so I tend to explain things, which can be a good thing and a bad thing, but its just whom I am...

I want someone that could enjoy a simple conversation, nothing deep right away, but intelligence is a key factor... I really want someone that has a brain, because to me a smart woman is more important than being beautiful on the outside... granted, it doesn't hurt to have a pretty face, but its not everything... I told my friend I love 'nerdy' women, but I don't mean that in a negative way, I just appreciate more than 'lol' as an answer when holding an IM conversation...

I now am an office manager of a small manufacturing company out of Salem, Oregon, I work five days a week... I also work from home, for my former boss (one of the most intelligent women I know), until she can find a suitable replacement for me... she's had two and a half years, but someday she'll find someone... heh everyone I know calls me a work-a-holic, and its probably true, but I refuse to accept it...
