I'm a bit of a contradictory personality. On one hand I love laughing, making others laugh, remain passionate about the issues that matter most, am wickedly sarcastic, sassy, and can exasperate the most calm of individuals (yes rare talent that).

I’m also quite capable of being serious, understanding, calm, intelligent, intense, loyal, passionate, and open to listening.

I’m action oriented, I like getting things done quickly but done well. I love experiencing new things, meeting people, soaking up the different and diverse, expanding my mind.

I can be impatient (horribly so behind the wheel) and love to be challenged thought for thought. I find intense in depth conversation sexy and can rabbit on about unique life changing moments, the abysmal state of world politics to the fascination men (and some women) have of Katie Price.

My idea of a successful relationship is one where a fantastic friendship begins. That coupled with a good balance of independence, chemistry, clear expectations, understanding and the elusive "It factor" clinches the deal.

My dream job found me, am currently juggling my new portfolio, travelling loads, meeting fascinating people and very much enjoying the challenge.

Am hoping that since I've achieved most of what I've set out to in the last couple of years, my final goal wont be that hard to come by...?

UPDATE!!!: Apologies if you write to me and I don't reply. I travel a lot and am also currently relocating for work purposes hence when I do check OK its the mobile version and messages tend to slip through the cracks!

Being competitive. Listening without judging. Making the people around me laugh when they need it the most (or least!). Problem solving. Offering quiet support and being an open personality.

is me! What else would they notice? Oh and perhaps my chuckles :-D

***Update:
Current airport reading includes the eclectic mix of Chomsky's Hopes and Prospects and How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You [not as bizarre as it sounds! :-P]

Good book and spa holidays

The maddening pace of life, why cant everyday be a Sunday(?), my next holiday, the next great challenge, just thinking..

Various scenarios include out with friends for dinner and a movie, working late, off away on a weekend jaunt somewhere, away on business, dead to the world asleep..

I bite my nails, nasty childhood habit. Oh and bargain hunting for books off Amazon, rather addicted to the words "Free Super Saver Delivery" (wince)

You'd like to say hello!
