Short, Sassy, Sensual :) I'm not looking for a relationship - just some good times, friendship & laughter. I'm intelligent and well-educated and want to meet someone similar. I don't really have a lot in common with most people my age - I'm not interested in gardening, caravanning, don't have grandchildren. I'm interested in the pleasures of the flesh and listening to music , preferably live & LOUD. :) If you're in Melbourne, please don't be put off by the fact that I'm in East Gippsland - I visit Melbourne frequently.

Working, studying, not having enough FUN!

Cooking, crosswords, general and musical knowledge, making people feel good

I have a nice smile & I'm friendly and out-going

Books: Stranger In A Strange Land, The Stand, The Ethical Slut,The whole Song Of Ice & Fire series, Of course Lord Of The Rings is in there - also like reading mysteries & will admit to a partiality for the occasional trashy Jackie Collins book - hey, sometimes the mind needs junk food

Music: I have very eclectic tastes, but particularly like Blues - Clapton is GOD, but Buddy Guy, John Mayall, Stevie Ray Vaughan are also on high rotation on my iPod. I also like folk, bluegrass, rock and roll, pop, but never, ever C&W, well, apart from some of the old classics - can listen to Hank Williams or Patsy Cline.

Movies - Best In Show - I bred Standard Poodles for many years & know a lot of "Showies" and this movie is scarily accurate, This Is Spinal Tap - greatest Rock 'N' Roll piss-take ever, The Big Chill - just because I like it (& the music's good)
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest - best movie Jack Nicholson ever made - Flying High - just so stupidly funny you can't help but laugh. Many more, but those are my absolute favourites.

Food - well, I love food & love cooking. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away I owned a restaurant & I was the chef - the cuisine was French Provincial. I also love Chinese, Indian and, especially, Thai

Whether anyone on here is genuine - well, I don't REALLY spend a LOT of time thinking about it, but I do wonder why so many guys have profiles on here & don't seem to want any contact - OK, I'm not some hot 20 year old, but I'm not exactly the Bride Of Frankenstein, either :) Also, why most of the guys on here are looking for someone younger than themselves - be realistic guys - nothing wrong with an older woman.

Why some people don't reply to messages - not even a quick "piss off" :)

Why I'm considered "worse -mannered" in the personality section- I'm really very nice & polite :) (except when I say "piss off" )

What 42 really means

Why those "power nap" signs on the road don't say "Pull OVER & power-nap.

Chatting to my online friends , watching a DVD or reading & listening to music.

Nothing on here :)

You can write a literate (ie not text talk) message that's more than one line, you are sincere, a non-smoker, intelligent enough to know the difference between "discreet" and "discrete" & what "wherefore" means :) NOT religious and/or Homophobic, preferably single or in a truly open/polyamorous relationship and want some fun times with a sexy & intelligent woman. Oh, you need to have a photo and a profile - not interested in anyone too lazy to write a profile! If you're a man & happen to have a beard/moustache, that's a BIG plus. I will reply to all messages, providing you put a bit of effort into it (ie, more than one barely-literate line)

You are NOT a vegetarian or otherwise weird
