I am warm, generous, fun, quirky, smart, and intelligent.
My Self-Summary
The fact that I am writing from Kenya, does not mean I'm here for a
meal ticket. Anywhere that I've got to get to, I can do damn well
by myself. Passport, visa and money stories, ailing grandmothers,
dying great-grandparents, rain-makers who haven't come through and
whatever other self-pitying bullshit that is purportedly peddled
around these sites do not apply to me. I'm here to make friends
first and not to meet a man who can whisk me away from here. That
said, here goes...
I am a warm and intelligent woman. I love music (from blues to
R&B, jazz to country, BUT I draw the line at heavy metal!! I
love books. I've got stacks and stacks of them. Enjoy used book
stores. There's something about thumbing through a used book (maybe
its just me, but I know it's not). I love good food, good wine and
great company. I love to cook and entertain. For 2 or 20. Gives me
great pleasure enjoying these moments with loved ones. I love
scrabble and crosswords in the morning. I've always fancied myself
as an artist, but alas...there is no hope!
I'm well traveled and thus have and can embrace different cultures.
Movies, movies... I'm a hopeless romantic, so I must say, my
favourite is Dangerous Liaisons. Of course, I delve into other
genres, and of these, I rank 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Usual Suspects'
very highly.
But, most importantly, I like to stay in, feet up, a glass of red
wine, or a good whisk(e)y, and chat.
What I’m doing with my life
I am in the hospitality industry and recently turned farmer. I love
growing vegetables and having a few animals. I'm not afraid to get
my hands dirty, with some help of course!
I’m really good at
totally, utterly, useless facts. Did you know... In 1972, a group
of scientists recorded that you could cure a common cold by
freezing the big toe. Thats my quirky side. I manage people well
and I'm a pretty good judge of character.
The first things people usually notice about me
My smile or my sneer (depending)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: To Kill A Mockingbird, Love in The Time Of Cholera, This Too
Shall Pass, Shantaram, Women On Top, Michael Moore's books.

The Lambs, Chocolat, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Fargo; I also
enjoy TV series like CSI (all), and Brothers and Sisters. Loved the
Sopranos and West Wing...
Music: Soul, Blues, do not mind Country either
Food: Ethnic, Curry, Italian
The six things I could never do without
Lip Balm
My journal
Friends and family
music
a book and money of course.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
life in general, how to improve on things
On a typical Friday night I am
Out with the girls or indoors reading, watching something on telly.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
O no... You're gonna have to get to know me!!! But... I think I'm a
closet sub.
You should message me if
You're a decent, smart, hardworking (not workaholic) man. Generous
in spirit and have the ability to laugh at yourself. And if somehow
you believe or think we can complement each other.
