I like to think I'm someone who has just about found the middle ground between being so laid back I fall over and having so many dreams and aspirations I've always got something to look forward to. Although daydreaming is one of my favourite past times, so when Im not out there living out my dreams, im dreaming about living them out!! :D
I live in a village, so I'm close enough to the country and to the city to be able to enjoy all that both can offer. I love driving, walking and drinking in the country and I love shopping, clubbing and all the other attractions found in big cities.
Outside the 9-5, i enjoy travelling and I've volunteered abroad in the past, which was such an excellent experience I'd love to do it again. Because of this I'd love to meet someone with a sense of adventure and someone who tends to think outside the box.
Im the first on the dancefloor stone cold sober, so I'm generally up for a laugh and a good time. I also tend to think its the company you're in and making the most of every situation that makes experiences in life the most worth while and enjoyable.
I think I may be the last of the old romantics, but I like the little gestures and the grand moments that remind me I might be out of sight but not out of mind. Equally I'm pretty independent and I like time to myself to do my own things, so I like people who have their own mind and interests too.

A major part of my life is my work, and after studying for what seems like forever, I'm finally working in a job I love, in a NHS service for children with learning disabilities.
Friends and family mean the world to me, so when I'm not at work, and I'm not daydreaming, I'm out enjoying spending time with my loved ones. I don't really have any set routines outside of work, as I'm happy to go with the flow, and I like to have time free to go to gigs, festivals and whatever else takes my fancy. I quite often have fads on activities, but I can get bored easily, and become claustrophobic with too much routine, so I dont have any specific hobbies, even though I enjoy most things.
I enjoy travelling and I would still consider working abroad again, or doing some working holidays abroad, so I can carry on seeing the world and at the same time retain my pension!! So basically I'm a free spirit who likes a degree of security!!

Understanding and supporting people, making people giggle and feel at ease, making cups of tea, eating chocolate, being lazy!!

I'm almost always smiling or laughing, so if you don't see me smiling, you'll usually hear me laughing!! So I've been told its usually my smile that people notice first, but I have noticed that people often look a little south of my face when they're talking to me, so you can make your own conclusions about what they notice when they're closer up...!!

Books: My favourite author is Jane Austen, but I love all of the classics, by most authors, if they have romantic, quintessential characters and have beautiful descriptions that set the scene - all helps with the daydreaming!! :) I'll read most books though, although I did really struggle to read trainspotting!! I couldnt put down the Da Vinci Code, and Marilyn Manson's autobiography (my current read) is just as compelling.

Films: I love any film that has a poignant message, and either leaves me feeling at ease with the world, or sobbing my heart out because of the injustice of it!! Thus my favourite films of all time are: Shawshank Redemption, Beautiful Mind, Persuit of Happyness, Shooting Dogs, Amazing Grace, Green Mile... the list goes on!! I have a huge collection of chick flicks, to balance out the poignance with films I can switch off to completely, and i also like action films and horrors, although sci fi will take a little more persuasion and a lot more popcorn!!

Comedy: I really love my live comedy, and my favourites at the moment are Alan Carr (I know he's not to everyone's taste, but guaranteed to leave me in gasping for breath and fighting back the tears!!), Dara O'Brien, Frankie Boyle, Ed Byrne, Ben Elton, Simon Amstel, Eddie Izzard, Russell Howard. If you're a Mock the Week fan and have noticed the relation of many of these comedians, I can confirm its one of my favourite programmes!!

Music: I quite like most music, although I'm no music buff, only thing I can't listen to is dance/trance/house type stuff. My fave genre is definately indie/alternative/rock music, with my favourite bands being MUSE, Kings of Leon, Kasabian, RATM, Stone Roses, Charlatons, Maximo Park, Greenday, NERD, Air, Beth Orton, etc...

Food: I'll eat any type of food, but I dont eat red meat - I'll cook it for other people and have no problems with people eating it around me, i just dont like the taste!!

Being lazy. Sweet things. Loved ones. Travel. Daydreaming. Projects.

Where to move walls to in my house.
Where to travel to next.
Other people's actions and motives.
Whats going on in the world and what will happen next.
I'm big on thinking, pondering and reflecting, anything that grabs my attention ill have a wonder about...

Taking it easy at the pub with friends or watching my fave programmes on catch up....just generally conserving energy for a night on the town on Saturday night!! :D

He he, I'm not falling for that one... but please do ask me anything you'd like to know!!

You'd like to put a smile on my face!! :D
