Locrian, 43

I'm a quiet, nerdy, introverted lesbian. I like reading sci-fi, comics, gothic fiction and theory, biking, shopping, and exploring. I'm an amateur musician and a student on the verge of completing my B.S. in Astrophysics. I listen to jazz, metal, alternative, bossa nova, and classical music. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, and I'm not interested in smokers (trying to quit is ok if you're serious), drug users (marijuana is ok if it's medical), or heavy drinkers. I don't like parties or bars; I prefer relatively tame activities like movies, beaches, and staying home to cuddle. I'm sarcastic and I have a weird sense of humor.

I'm looking for someone who's intelligent and mature, loves herself and has a good idea of what she wants. I prefer women who are thoughtful, rather self-involved, individualistic and independent thinkers who speak their minds no matter what. I'm open to all types of women (except extremely/stereotypically effeminate ones) but I am especially attracted to butches. My ultimate goal is a long-term and monogamous relationship, but I'm not in a rush. I don't not have much dating experience, so let's take things slowly.
