My web dating profile for posterity

Why should you get to know Martusia?
An unusually friendly girl (or perhaps I'm a woman now?) with a huge heart, an opinion, a bag of ideas and a dazzling smile. That’s me! Recently described as “warm, caring & fun to be with”. Also “eccentric in an endearing way”. Definitely a culture vulture and seeking the same.

Loves: her quilt; spooning (just another 5 minutes more); art that moves you; films like ‘The Station Agent’/‘The Motorcycle Diaries’; being a paradox (also South Park The Movie); quiet time to write (film scripts, children's stories)/paint/think; walks by the sea; persuading friends to roll down hills for fun; Dudley cat sleeping with his chin on her hand; finding holiday places like Borrego Valley Inn; leisurely dinners with friends (under vines with a summer breeze off the ocean - okay, okay, so this doesn't happen in Reading); fancy dress parties and most of all people with passions who live life to the full who have seen something of this wonderful world.

Appreciates: random acts of kindness and thoughtfulness (best present this year was a conker from a colleague's garden in Budapeszt - so nice to hold something natural when in hell with fluorescent lighting); beautiful stylish spacious home; the people in her life; 8 year old balsamic vinegar; her Polish roots (have lived in Madrid, Warsaw & Sydney - Vancouver/S America one day); RentaGhost/Six Feet Under; money to be able to travel; people not put off by subtitles; places that are NOT crowded, smoky or noisy (except perhaps Ronnie Scotts) - preferably wide open spaces with amazing vistas that take up a whole roll of film (yearning for Tierra Del Fuego).

Loathes: carpets in pubs; smoke; trousers that are too short; Big Brother; the Top 40.

Needs: affection; conversation; openness; intimacy; doing fun stuff together as well as separately.

Gives: A LOT. I have to warn you I’m not particularly domesticated and instead pay for cleaning/ironing. That Polish gene escaped me ;-)

She describes her ideal match thus:
I have found my ideal man but alas he is no longer alive. Richard Feynman was a Nobel Prize winning physicist once judged as mentally deficient by the US army. His life story is a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, eternal scepticism and raging chutzpah. Feynman was surely the only person in history to solve the mystery of liquid helium, to be commissioned to paint a naked female toreador, and to crack the uncrackable safes guarding the atomic bomb's most critical secrets. He traded ideas with Einstein and Bohr, discussed gambling odds with Nick the Greek, and accompanied a ballet on the bongo drums.

AIM 1: I am very happy being single and in no rush to tie any knots, so right now would like to meet interesting people making friends along the way

AIM 2: long term I want to continue being bonkers in a beautiful intelligent way until I'm old and grey - with a wonderful man who I still hold hands with walking along the beach near our house and who still chases me around hotel rooms, plus some happy children to be embarrassed of us.

Would love to hear from you if your aims are similar, you have shared interests/values, are not afraid to open up, are a generous happy cultured soul with a hunger to experience life fully plus fancy having a lovely nutty friend like me.

...but first

HEALTH WARNING: mad, clever, passionate, direct, very.

Time saver (no go areas for me, sorry!): beer monster; football nut; smoker (other than the odd joint); telly addict; package holidays; dishonesty; selfishness; doesn't like cats; doesn't ever want children; career obsessed (what's free time?); possessive; aggressive; tight (except his buttocks); thinks tickling or alcohol is foreplay; here for sex only; thinks status, money (actually that is needed for many good holidays with me) or running marathons should attract me (rather than what's in his heart and mind - arts appreciating well-travelled open heart/mind, lust for life and kindness in a cosmopolitan package = big tick).

Is anyone still reading?
