Date men and women from United States / California / Panorama City, 30 year old

Date men and women from United States. My friends would describe me as shy but enjoyable, friendly and funny once you get to know me. Silly things make me laugh and smile as well as outrageous situations and people that take themselves to seriously, lol. I'm a firm believer in always trying to understand both sides to a story before I make any judgments. I am an artist and a creative thinker. I am a proud Angeleno and I take pride in my city. I have black thick wavy long hair (i used to sport it short. for now, it is long). I am mild mannered and take joy in just experiencing life to its fullest. I work hard and want to achieve the best possible for myself. Those I cherish most are my family and friends and pets. Give me a chance, I bet we will share some laughs together.
I'm looking for someone who is sweet and understanding and not too quick to judge the flaws in people. I would like for them to have a great sense of humor, because I love to laugh and things are always funnier if you have a partner to laugh with. I would like someone who is cool with staying in and watching a movie or just reading a book or going out to explore the city. I'm looking for someone who enjoys animals and who sees them as members of the family rather then just pets. Someone who is their own woman and proud to be independent but loves to share her time with me.
