Elizafizz, 45

I have a quiet, sensitive side, but I often feel naturally intoxicated, particularly with people who bring out my true flavor.

I am often moved by good musicians who pass through on the subway, lighting up the entire car. I love to laugh until I feel like my stomach will explode, or that I will stop breathing. I mean, until I really can't breathe. Then I stop.

I am driven by creative pursuits and mini-adventures: impromptu play readings, dance, hiking or cross-country skiing excursions, an exploration around an unexplored neighborhood or country.

In Nepal, where I lived for six months, I trekked in the Himalayas, learned the language, and met locals who gave the little they had to those traveling by. I'm fascinated by how others live, even in the city; I find myself glimpsing into windows, wondering the affect of one's surroundings on mindset, and vice versa.

I absolutely love to dance.

I'm looking for someone with whom even a wait for a bus could be interesting, who sees humor in small things and experiences. Someone curious about the world, and with at least a few common interests. Someone kind and receptive to others.
