Date men and women from United States / California / Arcata, 27 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. 20 short random things about me:
1)I am a very open person, and communication, trust, respect and passion are the most important things to me in relationships
2) I am a short feisty sarcastic chick with an affinity for assertive men with interesting noses.
3) I believe loving yourself for who you are is the key to happiness, and that no one will take care of you if you don't take care of yourself.
4) I live by the Golden Rule.
5) I love to be with others but still need time on my own.
6) I'm not a J.A.P. I prefer to dote on others.
7) I work hard, play hard and have no problems getting dirty in the garden.
8) I only wear makeup if I am going out on the town or have a meeting (not to the gas station!) I wake up with my face on I do not need to put it on.
9) I don't care about designer clothing or expensive things, although I do enjoy some of the finer things in life like traveling, nice hotels, resorts and restaurants.
10) I love the city but enjoy the woods almost as much.
11) I love my job.
12) I am a driven hard working and passionate person.
13) I can be a bit loud at times, mostly when excited (I can be very enthusiastic) because being the loudest one in my family was the only way to be heard, I also tend to talk with my hands.
14) I was raised Jewish (reform) until I was about 10, and now its just by culture.
15) People view me as being a very confident person, (even when I'm not having a confident day) I hold myself well.
16) I tend to put people ahead of myself and find great enjoyment in taking care of people.
17) I pick up on others emotions quickly, so people do not have to say much for me to know how they are feeling. It is one of my favorite things about myself.
18) I love to listen, but I love to talk just as much, I find people to be fascinating and love learning about peoples lives "their stories" I have been this way since I was a kid and so I have the ability to carry on a conversation with anyone, be it a homeless person or high level politician.
19) I love kids and I am great with them, above all else creating a family with someone is my biggest dream..not anytime soon though.
20) I am also new at this and have no idea what to say...so I said too much (as usual).
Blah blah blah me me me. If you want to know more, or would like to tell me more about yourself, please do not hesitate to email me. I would love to get to know you, even if it is just a friendship!
