I am myself. Most people describe me as: unusual, sweet, effervescent, or crazy--yes, these were actual adjectives used. I think it was from one of the forward games where you describe your friends.

I would describe myself as adventurous, imaginative, and open minded.

I'm willing to try almost anything and love new experiences. I've traveled to quite a few places around the world, but only for a short time.

I love the lightning, rain, ocean, river, animals, song, passions, art, stories, dancing, thinking, beauty, smiles, moonlight, starshine, darkest night, Halloween, heroes, romance, roses, hyacinths, buttercups, all growing things, laughter, the old, living...

I cannot stand intolerance of other views, beliefs, practices, looks, likes, etc. just because they happen to be different. As long as none are doing harm to unwilling participants, they should be left alone to live and hopefully the favor will be returned.

I Am usually sweet and random, a lover of stories and wild things. I'm easy to talk to but often shy in the beginning.
I want to find something that makes me get up every day with new excitement, to make living even better.

I am fairly goofy and playful once I'm comfortable with you. I can be a bit of a thrill seeker but am happy hanging at home doing nothing as well.

For the last while, I've been working in marketing. Definitely not my true calling, but I have met a lot of interesting people and learned new skills. I am still trying to decide to what work I want to dedicate my life.

I have completed a combined Masters in Australia (It was FanTastic!), and a double Bachelor of Arts in the U.S.

I am considering going for a Masters in Education and Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language.

Whatever I do, I definitely want to explore more of the world and immerse myself in its cultures.

I write well and have great reading comprehension, and making people laugh. I'm good in an amateur-ish way at art and drama.

Either I'm really quiet and blend into the background, or people can't help but notice me because of my pure energy when excited.

Or at least that's my perception of what they notice. I guess I should ask...

What's the first thing you noticed about me?

I love so many of all of these that specifing a few is really difficult. You can ask, though, if I don't have something listed here. I very rarely find something of which I can't read, watch, or listen; and I love reccomendations.

Books are my passion. Really. I don't think starting the list would be good, but maybe just a few favorite authors... ;)
I love reading classics, fantasy, teen fiction (it's good!), horror...if it makes you think, laugh, feel....
Author Laurell Hamilton series, Author Mercedes Lackey, The Hunger Games, As I Lay Dying, Moby Dick, Call it Courage, Smoky the Cow-horse, Sookie Stackhouse series, The Forbidden Game, Harry Potter series, Wicked, Jane Eyre, The Last Vampire (Thirst) series, Blood Red Road....

Movies include: Labyrinth, Blood Diamond, The Departed, The Fountain, 300, Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, Dragonheart, Braveheart, Waterhorse, The Notebook, Pride & Prejudice, P.S. I Love You, The Constant Gardener, Lord of the Rings, The Boondock Saints, The Lion King, Serenity, Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, Howl's Moving Castle, Avatar, Eat Pray Love, The Hannibal movies, The Hunger Games, Hidalgo...

Music Includes: Pink, Evanescence, CCR, Nickelback, Queen, Billy Idol, Billy Joel, Loreena McKennitt, Most Celtic music or New Age, I also love soundtracks, musicals, classical--though I don't really know that much about most of it...
Really, my music interests are extremely ecletic--depending upon the old cliche of 'my mood'. ;>

I'm willing to try pretty much any food. Of course, I love Italian, Thai--though I must watch the heat--Mexican food, and actually just a really good cheeseburger, oh, and rice in general. I also Love cheesecake, honey, and other desserts as well.

Running Water-it could be just from a spring or something, but I need it.
Books-I have loved them since before I could read. Animals-the world would be a terrible place if humans were the only creatures on it besides of plants.
Hope-Without hope of adventure, passion, and wonder, why would we want to exist?
Music-It lifts my soul and makes me feel intensely, though, I acknowledge nature has its own sort of music.
Soap-I don't mind getting dirty and even enjoy it sometimes, but I like getting clean after.
Sugar-I have a weakness for sweet things.

I don't mention family and friends here because that goes without saying.

Everything

As there aren't usually any typical nights for me, I'm doing something different.

Something you'll have to ask me.

Oh, I do get lost easily and often...which is a bit funny when considering how much I like to travel. Then again, you sometimes have to get lost to find the most interesting places.

Ultimately, I am looking for someone who will be my best friend for life but with that extra component that makes that person something more.

My message thing is on, or go ahead if it's off. I'll reply to the e-mails.

I like to talk to people, but if I don't think we are right for each other in the context of a more intimate relationship, I will tell you as nicely as possible...but please respect that; I'm not looking for a perfect person, just the perfect person for me; it's not a judgment, just a decision.
I do like making friends as well, truly, so you're welcome to talk to me. :)
