I'll stifle my trust issues (bad experience in this group years ago, nice guy turned stalker)

I'm originally from the Champlain Islands in northwestern Vermont, my mom was Romanian w/German citizenship, dad is a native New Yorker who told the Catholic Church to stuff it when he was a kid, both raised me without religious influence of any kind. I guess you could say I was raised by wolves, they gave me a good education and then let me make up my own mind about everything.

I used to think I didn't care about religion until one day I realized how horribly fucked up it was that my friends thought that liking sex was something you had to be ashamed of. After learning about "sin", almost dying from a botched abortion and surviving a marriage to a doomed man with a Talibornagain mother in law, I decided I really did care. Nothing noble about that.

I'm a former Marine who likes flowers and Fangoria. I've had many jobs but have been employed in the metal working industry for the last 12 years. I followed a job to the Bible Belt where I'm miserable but unable to flee to my beloved Green Mountains.

I live on 5 acres in the boonies, share it with 2 horses, 2 dogs, 7 cats and 1 human male. I love to photograph spiders and snakes and recently purchased a waterproof camera so I can take pictures of the Alligator Gar that live in the river that runs through the property.

Last week I managed to save my kayak from a tornado and a flash flood only to lose it to a thief which is one of the reasons why I'm grumpier than usual.
