Kirksville's Local Dating Service

I love meeting people~! (Edit: Interesting people who have something to say.) Even if it's just a random "Oh, you're lovely." (But then you should follow that with something intelligent, you fucking whore.) Those are just as good. :D (Just so you know, I am fantasticpants. I'm more fantasticpants than YOUR MOM.)

I'm on my way up to Truman State University this fall, majoring in English and Foreign Languages. I'm a writer and a 3-time NaNoWriMo winner, and my Big Dream is to be a successful novelist. I love music (all kinds! I'll give anything a chance (Unless it sucks balls)), even though I can't play any instruments--I was raised on ABBA, Enya, The Beatles, and Nana Mouskouri. This explains my inordinate fondness for catchy, upbeat, tuneful foreign music: Namely, jpop. God. Can't get enough of it. If I could have a lot of hot sex with it, I so would. Mmm, NEWS. And Super Junior, who are actually Korean. I love you guys.

I love learning about different cultures and religions; however, heavy debate makes me irritable and ruffled, especially if the other person is getting too heated about the issue. I really don't care that much. Really. Your opinion matters, but I'm not going to argue about it because at the end of the day I don't give a flying fuck. Which brings us to my next point:

I must be considered "a study in contradictions", otherwise I confuse myself. I'm a pacifist except when I'm irritated (see above); I like things when I like them and I don't when I don't; I'm indecisive and at the same time, obstinate about my choices. I can lead and I can follow; I'm submissive and agreeable except when I'm really not. If I like you, I'll do my best to entertain and amuse you; if I don't like you or don't care, I won't put too much effort into it (one consistency is that if I think of something witty, I will fling it at whomever is convenient, whether I like them or not. If you don't get my little isms, then you aren't worth talking to and I will drop you like the fucking sandbag you are, you dull twit.)

If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is suffering through stupidity with a smile. I don't like it. Give me a chance to be hateful at you, I will seize it with both hands, and we will walk away with that refreshing feeling of having been suddenly dunked in boiling water. Also, I cannot stand being called "babe". I loathe it. LOATHE.

Any supposed arrogancy you see present is probably true, but at least I have the goods to back it up. I'm competent (Except when I'm not. Don't trust me alone with scissors.)

If you can dream it, you can do it! I believe that, but sometimes it's still hard to live it.

I live in the middle of fucking nowhere, Missouri. I hate it, but am trying to make the best of it for the time being. As soon as I finish school I am out of here! I have a rockin' lil family that consists of my daughter and pitador, Chaos aka Cacabeans (kiddos version). I'm a jack of all trades and pretty much a huge nerd. I like to read, sew, paint, explore, and hunt for vintage goodies. I used to be really into the bar scene and seeing shows, but now a) I'm not a p.o.s. deadbeat parent who ditches their kiddo in order to get shitfaced everynight, and b) there are rarely any good shows around here. I reserve getting my show & social fix when I visit "home".

I am a young person who loves adventure some of my hobbies are rappeling, rock climbing, going on long hikes, paint balling, motorcycle riding(yes I own my own bike), and camping. I am a very outdoors type person and hope you are too.

A consideration that has frequently entered my mind lately is the idea of self-identification and the projection of the perceived self through making introductions. Essentially, I have been wondering more and more about how the way we introduce ourselves is influenced by what we view as most important about people, and how these introductions in turn contribute to the way in which we are treated and subsequently behave. This question is simultaneously thrilling and daunting for me as a result of that; but then again, I have occasionally been accused of making a mountain out of a molehill.

Foremost, I should express that I identify as a queer individual, not strictly as a lesbian. I am open to relationships with people regardless of what sex organs they have, don't have, or wish they had. I am a non-op, transgender (currently) not receiving hormone therapy. Currently I am in the awkward in between space of attempting to mesh my own understanding of "self" with my personal desires. For me currently, the idea that I am transgender simply means that while I have the body of a female, my gender identity does not align with the feminine. I still allow female pronouns to be used when referring to me, though I would much prefer gender-neutral (ze, zir, zirs).

I am a very curious individual who loves exploring so-called "alternative" lifestyles and ways of thinking. I have in the past been a vegetarian, and hope to one day return to this lifestyle. Currently, I make every effort towards awareness of the origin of the foods that I eat, and would prefer a meatless entree over a the best cut of steak any day. After a long stint of rejecting organized religion altogether, I am once again seeking out my spiritual nature through exploration of various systems of belief. In the process I have created a blend of ideas that work best for me by taking bits and pieces from various schools of thought. To me religion is a way of finding comfort in the unknown and explaining the inexplicable, so it only makes sense to believe in that which makes me most comfortable.

Were I to have any talent in the world, I would desperately want the ability to be more creative. There are worlds and thoughts beyond comprehension living in the recesses of my mind, but that often seems to be the problem. They're so far stuck within and so deeply personal that I have yet to find an adequate way to release them. I dabble into various creative pursuits though, from journaling to writing to altered bookmaking, but my personal favorite will always be photography. I am the proud owner of both a Canon AE-1 and a Nikon D40, and can often be seen lugging one or the other around to nearly every place I go.

Finally, in terms of emotional characteristics, I am on a journey towards honesty and transparency. I seek to live my life in the most open and genuine ways I possibly can, rejecting all notions that hiding or eluding the truth is the best way in which to behave. Though I still find myself tripping up (fear of pain from being inadequate), it is a process which I am very serious about. Secrets have lived within me for too long, weighing me down and never allowing me to get close to others. I won't let that continue anymore.

If you want to know anything, I'm an open book. Just ask.
I like Music, movies, YouTube, hanging out with friends, and all that usual junk.

I'm a pretty funny person. I don't take things too serious unless they need to be. I'm totally obessesed with music. It takes up alot of my thoughts, time, and conversations. This may be do to the fact that I sing and play guitar in a band and also help book shows and promote other bands in the area.

Where to start? I am an ISFJ. But, on most tests I take, I am right on the border of being introverted/extroverted.

I grew up on a farm in Iowa (corn, soybeans, and livestock, if you must know), but I would not consider myself a "farm girl." I'd rather live in town, preferably on the edge of town. I enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, bonfires, and boating.

I have a B. A. in Music with an Instrumental Emphasis. I studied clarinet, but can also play piano, saxophone, and sing. I am currently in an a cappella group and I help with music ministry at church.

If Christian Lander thinks white people like it, I probably do too.

Well, Iâ??m a second year medical student at KCOM and that tends to devour my life. When I have time off I love to spend time in the mountains. A close friend of mine once told me that skiing was the closest thing heâ??d ever had to a religious experience and I completely dig that. I also love to go hiking, canoeing, and rock-climbing, but during my typical week I usually only have time to go swimming. Iâ??ve been involved in vocal music and theater almost my entire life, performing in operas, operettas, musical theater, dinner theater, theater theater, choirs, and currently am in an a capella group. Iâ??ve also played a ton of instruments in the past but I can only really say that I play piano and pipe organ with any level of skill. I can knit some basic things and Iâ??m picking up painting albeit extremely slowlyâ?¦ but I did win a rather large prize for a piece I did on MSPaint about a year ago. Oh, and I'm really good at making balloon animals. Iâ??m a huge foodie and beer snob and Iâ??m constantly cooking new recipes and scheming about the next beer that Iâ??m going to brew. I also love to travel and I spent 10 weeks in Bolivia volunteering in a health clinic where I hope to return one day.

hello im ron im 40 and div for 10 years just out of a 4 year relationship her choice i have 3 daughters 2 are grown and gone still have one at home. just lookin to see whats out here ? well if interested lets talk
thanks

Right now I'm a Junior at Truman State University. Just recently dropped my Business major and switched over to an English major. I realized that I was not going to be happy in the business world. I'm not very good about describing myself on things like this so if you want to know more just ask!

I'm a college student at Truman University. I'm dual majoring in physics and math now. After reviewing the requirements for being a math major, I found that I'd be a little over halfway done by just being a physics major.

Calculus is one of the romance languages.

I love to express myself by drawing. I also love to visit art galleries and analyze art. My favorite artist would probably be either Salvador Dali or Paul Cezanne.

A couple of my drawings:

I love to read philosophy and discuss --as best as I can-- it with whoever I can find.

I enjoy watching anime and playing video games.

I'm currently a college student, majoring in Sociology and Anthropology, minoring in Philosophy. I'm not a huge fan of school, although I enjoy learning and exploring new concepts. I love animals, hiking, kayaking, playing video games and spending time with good friends. I really want to get into rock climbing. Also, I like talking about things like: why doesn't Hollywood make quality movies ever, Animal Planet, and other loaded topics like religion!

hey. okay so my last profile thing got deleted. i dont know why, but it did.
im going to start out by saying im 17. im blonde and crazy. i live in a small town and i dont like it that much but then again i love this place. i plan on moveing to somewhere warm where theres no snow...yeah i hate the stuff.
i plan on doing a lot of things with my life and i dont think anyone could stop me..if i see it and i want it im going to get it...i would love to have you along for the ride but if or just going to bring me down you can peace out. to me life is about being who you are and staying true to yourself. im not ashamed for being who i am.

*UPDATE* Been pretty sick this last week or so. This is why I've not responded to messages. Will try and get to them this weekend. Sorry.

Living in Kirksville till spring, looking for someone to hang out with a bunch but not be all whoring about. I'm a nerd, and will be playing DnD (maybe) again soon and going to ATO parties. Looking for people to hang out with on a friend+ basis. Friends that snuggle are good friends to have when in a new town. Need snuggles and awesome pals, not drama.

I move a lot. I love to travel but haven't left the US for anything besides Canada. I made a huge pot of raisin/brown sugar oatmeal that sits in my fridge and stares balefully at me when I get a drink. I'm thinking I'ld like less travel and more 'owning a place with a garden', but then I think of the places I want to go to. Thinking college,maybe, possibly, perhaps. I'm torn. I'm also about 28% steampunk. I like dancing more than I thought I did. I love milk.

My applesauce is gone but I wish to have more. Oatmeal is not applesauce.

this video is awesome.

Well, I'm not really a girly girl, despite what my picture suggests. However, I do enjoy getting dressed up. During the winter I tend to stay inside to stay warm, like most people, but during the summer I'm always outside. I love hiking during the day, and at night I lay in the grass staring at the stars. I'm more likely to walk barefoot down a gravel road than I am to walk with shoes on down a paved road. I love writing and reading poetry. I love reading in general. I don't watch many movies.....I don't usually give myself time for them. I love all animals. My cat, a mutt, means more to me than anyone and I wouldn't give him up for the world. My dad's cat lives with me. I'm currently living with my grandma until I can find a place of my own.
I am pregnant. I'm as excited as anyone who wasn't planning on having children for a while can be. Don't ask questions about the dad. I have noting nice to say about him and would rather not have to talk about him. And don't message me saying "hit me up," "holla" or "wut up?". If you can't spell the word, you don't need to type messages. And obviously need to go back to school. And it's not that hard to say, "Please write back." And "holla"??? No.

I'm the type of girl who, like most girls, has her own fairy tale. I found someone that I honestly believed I was going to have my "happily ever after" with someone I really cared about. In my mind, he was my Prince Charming. And it wasn't unrealistic. I didn't imagine him saving me from a terrible dragon or a wicked witch. I just imagined him saving me from myself. In the end, it didn't work out. Not because he wasn't the right guy for me, but because after a couple years of not being together and me being rather irresponisble, I'm expecting a kid. And although I would love to be with him, I couldn't ask him to love a kid that's not his. Let alone, to step into the role of Fatherhood when I'm sure that's the last thing on his mind right now. He's still my best friend.

As for the father of the baby, he knew almost a month before he kicked me out that I'm pregnant. We never talked about it since you can't really talk to someone about something they obviously don't want to accept as reality. And, in my mind, he made his decision about it when he kicked me out without so much as mentioning the baby and without hesitation.

As for religion, I'm not religious. I don't believe in God or Heaven or Hell. I don't believe in Buddah. I believe in science. If it can be proven, then I believe it. If you're going to try to make me believe in God or whatever, don't bother messaging me. And don't say my baby needs Jesus because that's not your decision to make. That's his/her decision. I'm not gonna force anything into his/her mind.

I'm a midwest college student, getting by with what I have. I was once told that you're born with a bag full of luck and an empty bag for experience. You just have to hope that your experience bag fills before you run out of luck. As near as I can tell, I'm well on my way to being okay.

Of course, other perspectives would say that until I'm out of school and forging a new path, embracing the american pioneer spirit, I'm not REALLY that close to being okay. I suppose there might be some truth to that, but I'll tend to trust myself over someone else any day.

Well, im a motivated young man who is working my way through college so i can get a good job that i love and support a family. I have dreams of traveling around the world which i will do if the chance arrives. I can be very romantic and tend to have a softer side, but i can also be totally bad ass when the time calls for it. Im pretty much open to anything. I will try anything in and out of bed as long as it atleast gets mentioned before hand but overall im pretty adventurous.

I'm pretty much chillin in K-Ville going to skoolz for Beauty. Making this up cuz I'm super bored and dont know peeplz yet. Been to a few parties but there havnt been so many cool guyslol. ~

I'm a bit of a dreamer, bit of a schemer. I tend to consider myself a wildly free spirit, which sometimes gets the better of me. Getting lost, whether in thought or in reality, is great. I love writing, reading, and poetry. Language in general fascinates me. Music is also pretty great. I love deep philosophical conversations over a coffee and a cigarette, as cliche as that sounds. People say I tell great stories. I currently go to school at Truman State University (English major), though Kansas City is and always will be my home. I'm there quite often.

I'm a feminist, a humanist, a socialist, a Marxist, and probably a lot of other -ists I haven't thought of yet (but certainly not a racist, sexist, or elitist). I'm not religious (though I was confirmed as a Catholic when I was 16), though I am spiritual - meaning that I'm interested in the philosophical, rather than deistic, components of religious thought.

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

I'm a 2nd-year medical student; which means I don't have a ton of a life outside of school. But I like going out to the bar, a good theme party; I love watching the Eagles play football, and reading a good book. I love a good cup of coffee, and staring at the stars.
I am a quintessential red-head. I'm incredibly stubborn when I know that I'm right, I hate being told what to do. I can get all wound up and passionate about things. But I will still cry at movies.
Under no circumstances is it okay to use "your" when you mean "you're." Just don't.

Hello! My name is Laura and I am 24 years old. At the moment, I am trying to find "myself." I know what I want to do with my life, and an idea of who I am, it's just the matter of getting there. I am loving life and am hopeful that it can only get better!

im working partime and like to hangout with friends and do anything fun and some day i would like to get married and have kids. I am a simple person i just want someone that will treat me right and love me for who i am. I work hard and enjoy family and friends on my time off.

How yall doing. My Name is Cletus. I want a nice pretty ol lady that can cook me dinner every night. One of my true passions in life is to eat a food from every country. its taking me a while but its starting to happen. Send me a message if u want to know anything else.

I'm a California native, looking for a man that will accept and understand me for who I am. I love to have fun! Living in San Diego, I love to play outdoors. My favorite sports are volleyball and disc golf. I enjoy watching football and baseball. I enjoy trivia and live music. I love going for walks in scenic or historic parts of whatever city I happen to be in. I attend church, but I do live life to the fullest. I drink occasionally, and I like going to bars. Especially if the bar has karaoke! Iâ??m the girl that likes to have long talks and debates. I'm also the girl that rides the kiddie rides in front of the grocery store! If any of this sounds fun or interesting, then we should get to know each other!

photography , tattoos, im a clean person somehow, i dont ever have a clue whats going on with the world since i dont watch tv, and if you wanna know ask

My name is Willie and I live in Bevier. I really dont know what to say on here. So I like to work on cars and hang out with friends. I am very open to anything that sounds like fun. I also collect just about anything cool. I smoke way more than I should. I dont drink or go to bars. That has never really been my thing. If you want to talk to me just send me a message.

I'm 23, have a four year old daughter, that is my world. My biggest goal in life is just to succeed at being her mother. Without her, I wouldn't be anything. With that said, I am an individual, I really *am* more than her mother, I am woman, I have needs, I want to be wanted..

What I am looking for? Someone who "successful".. even if it's just managing your own retail store in your dinky little town.. Graduated at least high school, college would be nice.. using your degree that you went to college for, that would be nice too, but not a must.. Has a job.. steady income.. I want someone I can go do things with as well as cuddle up with at home.. I like my job, but if I met the right person, Id move.

I don't want anyone *too* possessive.. if you're going to question everything I do. move on. I am an outgoing person and have several friends that are male and will continue being their friend even if I am spending the rest of my life with you. I'm looking for that person who starts out as my friend and it turns into more.. has that spark. I don't believe in love at first sight, but do believe that there is someone out there for everyone.. you've just got to find them.

I have my daughter every other weekend and all throughout the week, so if that's an issue, then I'm sorry, that's not negotiable. I don't mind if you drink, socially, but if you *have* to have a beer/drink every day then don't bother messaging me, you have to have control.. If you smoke cigarettes, I don't really have an issue with that, I just don't like how everything smells like smoke.. and if you do any other drugs more than *maybe* once a year? Don't bother messaging me. I won't put up with it and that will be a deal-breaker with me even if I love you.

Anything else.. ask. Pretty much an open book and will tell ya what ya wanna know.. Hope I didn't scare ya off and I hope that that *one* is out there

Hmmm, well I'm not really that good at selling myself, or I wouldn't be single lol :) JK. About my life, I just graduated from college with my bachelor's in health science with a concentration in pre-med, but to tell you the truth I sometimes don't really know what I want to do with my life. I know I want to help people, and I LOVE working with kids, but I find the relationships between doctors/nurses/insurance companies really frustrating at times. Why become a doctor only to have an insurance company tell me how much time I can spend with my patients? Good question, right? Anyway, back on subject

I am a horny longhaired hippy with big hands if you know what I mean.

I prefer my jeans and boots every day of the week. I'm a pure country gal looking for a cowboy in boots that has dirt on them. Finding true love is hard for me. I love to read Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson and Robin Cook. I also do count-cross stitch, attend rodeos, flea markets, truck, tractor and horse pulls and old threashers events. And country music is #1. I'm a all round person that likes most anything, just give me a try, you would be surprised on what you could learn about me.
Just looking for a man that is honest, open minded, truthful and knows where he is heading and what he wants out of life. Relationships are based on talking, listening to each other. And telling each other I love you often, not only saying it but shows it.
Been married and divorced 2 times. I have 2 grown daughters whom is on there own. The oldest one will be giving birth to my fourth grandchild and he or she has 2 older brothers and 1 sister.

A POEM
Once...we stood alone, naked and cold in the driving rain, seeking an unreachable shelter from the storm of love left undone...but somewhere deep inside, with the courage of a hopeful heart, I step out into the cloudburst...the rain feels warm and soothing on my face....high above the clouds, your curious gaze peeks at me from beyond the storm and shines on me like the sun...I am willfully paralyzed by the light given so freely by you, suddenly finding myself in the midst of the garden where you dwell...captured in a timeless moment that has no expectation to possess, yet being fully aware of the joy my heart knew, in the moment that you smiled...at me...
music love heart touch kiss

I work in indie film production take care of my 83yr.old Mom,& I've been out of a relationship for a very long time. I've been married twice, no kids & I am currently divorced. I am about to undergo gastric lapband surgery to improve the quality & quantity of my life, I enjoy fishing, movies, reading & classic rock. I have a 3yr. old poodle named Lilylou and she is my best friend. Fun has not been a priority for quite a while, but life is too short to forego the good stuff and I want all I can have.

Ok im not the best looking or the skinniest girl by far... but im happy with the way i am and i dont care if other people dont like that. I have a happy and great relationship with my bf Ryan. I speak my mind and i dont judge others until i have spoken to them and spent some time with them. Im looking for a bi girl that isnt looking for anything long term but is interested in having a relationship with me and that i can have fun hanging out with. I love threesomes and im definitely looking for a girl that is willing to have threesomes with my bf and i! Also we are now looking for couples interested in foursomes and males that are looking for casual threesomes as well!

I moved to MO 3 years ago from Southern Ca. I am easy going, don't like to argue or play games. I enjoy going out as well as staying home. Am very romantic, and love to spend time with someone special. My kids are grown and on their own...now it's time for me to find the man I want in my life.

My name is Emily. If you want to get to know me, just ask me whatever you like. I dont really know how to summarize myself but I will give it a go. I have three older sisters and one younger brother. My family is loud and obnoxious at times but that is what makes them so great and they are the most important people in my life.
I am a certified baker and I just finished the baking program at Columbus State in Ohio. My passion is cooking and I love to create new recipes.
I know I dont have a picture yet but I am working on it.

While I put little stock in humanity's understanding of astrology, I do seem to fit the profile of a typical Gemini: two minds speeding along oppositional paths. I am an optimistic asshole. I dream of creation but fear I may capable only of destruction.

I want to make the world a better place but I find it hard to maintain my motivation when confronted with so much blatant stupidity. Does humanity deserve to be saved? It is easy to assume the Earth would be better off without us but would the planet revel in its new found solitude and begin to heal or would it fee useless and begin to wither away like an old widow who's children no longer visit?

Hello Kitty is awesome. She has no mouth because she speaks from her heart. She weighs as much as three apples and her hobby is baking warm cookies for her friends. Eric Cartman is also awesome. He can shove food up his butt and poop out of his mouth. He weighs as much as 3 apples (if those apples were made of iridium) and his hobby is exterminating Jews.

I am a gamer but not terribly hardcore about it. It's pretty rare that I'll spend $50 on a new game when there are plenty of good games I can buy used for $15. Genre isn't important as long as the game has a good story. (This means you're unlikely to find me screaming at my opponents on the Internet because those sort of games rarely have more than a token amount of storyline.) It makes me sad that I no longer play Dungeons & Dragons or Vampire but I have no regrets regarding having given up Magic: The Gathering. I've also come to realize that I don't even enjoy poker when I'm winning. I do like to play Truth or Dare, as long as there are sufficient stakes being wagered.

I've never seen the ocean. I've been to California twice but both times were bad experiences. The closest I've been to the east coast is Wisconsin. (I once told someone that and they responded that "Wisconsin is north, not east." In retrospect, I should have stabbed them in the throat.)

I'm an intellectual elitist but with a twist. I much prefer people who aren't very intelligent but are always striving to learn than someone who easily understands complex issues but sees to point in continuously furthering their education. (I qualified for Mensa but haven't actually joined. Bonus points for intelligence without he point loss for pretentiousness!)

I have illusions of grandeur of changing the world but most of the time I'd just like to build a little cabin on the beach and spend my time snuggling with someone I love. In the meantime, I'll settle for finding a few people with whom I can have interesting, semi-perverted conversations.

I've never really liked talking about myself, it seems like boasting and I try to be humble. Doesn't always work. If you have questions ask, thats a way to actually find out what you want to know instead of read my rambles.

hello all i am a man values morels godfearing i like fishing camping boating rivers seeing new places love walking thru the timbers of life sunsets sunrise i dont go to bars i set inmy back yard complete withlarge pond and bonfire i cook really well on open fire grills so i dont go out to eat much i do work alot it is hard to slow down i live well in my means i would like to find the true person god has chosen for me
