My hair is black. It's coarse and curly like a horse's mane. I have my father's nose, my mother's hands.

My teeth aren't straight like white picket fences. I have dark-brown eyes. I like the color of night, the scent of turquoise seas. I've plucked my eyebrows, forced my hair to grow straight. I've faked my height in stiletto heels.

I've had countless dates. But my hair is still curly and my eyes are still dark brown and I probably won't always like the color of night or the smell of greenish-blue waters.

I have firm breasts and I have lips that hardly smile. I have veins that bleed. I laugh when I'm nervous. I don't cry in movies like "The Passion... But I feel the pain of others and cry for no reason.

I like snow. But I live in the tropics and dread the heat. I've been to exotic lands. I've owned a vintage car that nearly crumbled. But I still bleed and my lips still hardly smile and my breasts won't always be firm.

I have strong legs. I have fair skin. I have an oddly shaped face I borrowed from my grandmother. I have long nails that break regularly.

My little toe is strange. I write. I used to sketch faces and paint butterflies.

I've run a hundred miles, climbed mountains and leapt over streams. But I still have fair skin and my nails still break and I always won't have. strong legs and I may not always write. But maybe I'll start sketching faces and painting butterflies again.

i constantly seek for answers to questions most people ask. i dig for facts like a miner digs an ore, hoping that one day i'll find a diamond or nugget.

analyzing just about anything, breaking down complex things into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of them. and oh, people say I'm good at table tennis.:)

Let me just put it straight. I'm not a believer in sex before marriage. So, if you're looking for something beyond friendship and sex is something you can't live without while you're still single, let's not waste both of our time. But if you're only here to make friends, I'm open for a clean, wholesome chat. Cheers.
