A funny thing happened on the way to... well.... dating. I stopped dating. Online or otherwise. Then I started talking to an online acquaintance at rpg.net. Much to our great surprise and amusement, we fell in love. On May 24, 2008 we got married. Stunning what life brings you when you least expect it. We're still pinching ourselves with delight!

-----------------------

I'm no longer on the market or on the prowl. I am, however, in the market for some new friends, especially in the West Midlands. My husband is the reclusive homebody type, while I like to go out and be social. It would be much more fun learning a new city with a friend, or two. Looking for partners in crime. Are you interested in gaming, movies, hiking, gardening, laughing until your sides hurt? If so let me know.

------------------------------

I am effusive and plump. I am also known to be watchful and flirty; impatient yet loyal; intuitive and intense; sumptuous and silly; more than slightly cynical, yet unashamedly Romantic. I am contradictory.

I am a HopeMonger. I'm not afraid of being afraid. I'm honest to a fault. I laugh out loud, until my sides hurt. I want to be the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm drawn to open-minded people who embrace who they are. I'll show you my ethos if you show me yours.

I don't fit into boxes. Conservative on the outside, undeniably alternative and adventurous on the inside. I don't like labels. I refuse to adhere to social norms or sexual typecasting; I am sexual. How's that for a label? I make my own rules. Life is negotiable.

I like word play. I enjoy getting to the bottom line. Humor turns me on; witty, dry, sarcastic, irreverent, self deprecating, in the gutter (where else!?!). Use your words.

I am a gamer. I dig D&D and other RPG's. I fondle my dice as often as I can. http://forum.rpg.net/

I am loquaciously earnest, ink friendly, and happily married....

Dotting my i's and crossing my t's on my immigration paperwork so I can get home to my husband in the UK.

Saying goodbye to friends, family, and the country I was born in.

Being the not so blushing bride and missing my Partner in UnCrime.

Never running out of things to say. It's a curse.

Being far too sentimental for my own good. *sigh*

Laughing out loud.

Singing to myself.

Dancing in my head.

Cooking most nights.

Kissing. Kisses. Kissed.

Hugs, snuggles and soft caresses.

My curves.

I have a playful and sarcastic way about me.

My smile (it never hurts to be kind or to say thank you).

My penchant to turn most anything into an innuendo.

I know the difference between a Friendly Flirt & a Come-Hither Flirt, I use them often and accordingly.

Subtlety is not my strong point. My appreciation for honesty and consequent abhorrence for bullshit makes life interesting.

Sexuality.

What I want to be when I grow up.

Having a garden. Redefining my happy place. How to make my life better, healthier, more travel friendly.

Standing amazed at how well I've worked this Happily-Ever-After thing into something tangible. Not traditional, mind you. Where's the fun in that?

I find Integrity to be a hot commodity. Truth is sexy. I value honesty above all else. Without it there is nothing to base a relationship on, friendship or otherwise.

Connecting with people really turnes me on. Chemistry and good conversation inspire me. It's people who matter most in life.

Gaming -- Mostly board games, but possibly an rpg.

Skyping with my Husband -- which is not a replacement for a real relationship, but he insisted on being born on another continent so we make do with the internets until such a time as I can join him.

It's a life....

Intuition is something I use on a daily basis.

If you're interested in building a friendship? I'd love to have a few new friends here in the UK!! Ping me. :)
