Hi, I'm Wendy (clearly). At the moment I live in leafy green Emerald (the Dandenongs) where I am attempting to start my own art and crafts business. It's going pretty slowly, but I'm enjoying life anyway. Truth be known I think I'm turning into a bit of a hippie. So anyway, I'm country girl born and raised (cheesy but true). I live with a friend I met living in Port Fairy and her little toddler, and we have a blast.
Okay, what next... I have many interests that I always wished I had more time for when I was working as a teacher, and you would think that working for myself I would be able to make time, but you'd be surprised. There's always something else to do. Anyway, those interests are reading, writing, playing music, I could go into more detail here but that would make this excessively boring reading, and besides, if I did, what would there be to talk about if we were ever to meet?

As I've said, I'm starting an arts and crafts business. Mostly I make kids' toys and accessories, and a few gifty sorts of things, and i go around to the local markets selling them. At the moment it's going rather slowly, and I think it's mainly because my organisational skills leave something to be desired (heaven forbid I should have to make phonecalls! I hate making official phonecalls!), but things are definitely improving.
So what else... I have some awesome plans for what I want to do in the future. I want to travel, and do some more learning, all of which I need to save money for. Ho hum. Some day :)

I think I can be rather creative and artistic when I'm given the right inspiration. I'm a good listener, and I'm open minded.

The very first thing would be that I smile a lot.

Other things might be that I'm quiet, especially to begin with but when I do chat, I have a good sense of humour.

With regard to appearance I'm going to be really predictable and say very blue eyes, brown hair.

Books first eh? Just finished Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander' series which has to be my favourite. Bit of history, bit of romance, bit of fantasy. Perfect. Corey Daniells' 'The Shadow Kingdom'. Catherine Jinks' 'Pagan' series. It's a teenagers' read, but I read it in high school, and I've read it several times since. Paulina Simons' 'Tully'. There is of course the 'Harry Potter' series. Loved 'Jane Eyre', And I've always wanted to read the Jane Austen classics, and 'North and South', and of course J.R.R Tolkein's books, though I suppose that doesn't mean they'll be favourites yet does it?
Movies! Well I have too many favourites to pick any special ones out, and I have very broad taste, from 'Mary Poppins' to 'The Exorcism' but I do have to say that sometimes you need a no-brainer romantic comedy to chill out in front of.
Music! Love it. I'm very rarely found in a silent atmosphere. Also have very broad taste in music. All time favourite artist: Billy Joel. After that, there are many to choose from. Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Sarah Brightman, Foo Fighters (I can't believe I put those two next to each other), Elton John, Van Morrison, Sting, Sarah Bareilles, the Presets the list goes on...
Food: I am big on European food because I've been raised on it. My grandmother is German/Czech. Also like experimenting with some Asian food. And of course, you can't go wrong with chocolate. I should mention, however, that I've recently become vegetarian, and since then I am loving food even more, surprisingly enough. Definitely no going back.

1. Family! I love them. Simple as that. We're very close knit.
2. Girlfriends. Need to spend some time with them every now and then. Chill out. Have some girl time.
3. Chill out time. It used to be time to relax after work, but even when I don't work I just need time when I do nothing. To relax. Otherwise I wear myself out by the end of the week. End up getting sick. (Sook that I am, lol!)
4 Pets. They're excellent company. Though a little bit of a hassle when you want to go on holidays... I miss my dog. He stays with my mum now because they wouldn't let us have pets here. :(
5. Music. I need sound. Can't stand silence! Makes me uncomfortable.
6. Food. As much as I try not to be, I am a food lover.

Where to go from here? So many options I don't know where to start!

Sadly enough, I'll be at home crafting or watching the Friday night movie (if there is one). Or, if my sister comes to visit, maybe I'll go visit my sister and watch a movie with her.

Well that would ruin it for later wouldn't it?

Basically if you like my profile and you are looking for either friendship or dating (I'm not into the casual thing).
