OTTARSDATTER, 64
I'm smart, well-educated, solvent, and emotionally mature/ responsible/undramatic/evolved. I like the complex things in life. I look my age. (I know most of you don't; so many profiles mention it.) Though bright and energetic, I am also capable of lying around sluggishly if I think the dishes will get washed by elves. (It's never worked yet, but it's never really NOT worked, either, not definitively.) I go to the gym regularly.
I am a writer and have one completed novel (undergoing revisions by the same elves who don't wash dishes) and two more that are in progress in a stalled-out kind of way. I read a lot, mostly novels for inspiration, but I’m also very interested in the history of textiles and fashion, miscellaneous history and biography, and prehistoric art and archaeology.
In March of 2013 I visited my daughter, who lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It was my second opportunity to stand overlooking the Great Rift Valley (the other was 10 years ago in Tanzania), where humanity got its start. I found this profoundly moving.
Can I get real for a minute? Many of you haven't posted pictures. I don't care how traditionally handsome you are, but I do care what you look like. Don't contact me if you don't have a picture, OK?
