About Me

When I see a good idea, I try to emulate it. I see nothing wrong with that. It's part of learning. I have a boyfriend, and I love him. I really like wine. Especially Australian wine, isn't that weird? I am an astrologer. I analyze dreams. Tell me yours, and I'll tell you what they mean. I like surfing, even though I don't go that often. I'm not a very good cook. I'm not as horrible as I used to be. I get along very well with my parents. I love my job. I weigh both sides of everything. At 25, I finally started paying my bills on time. For the first time ever. Sometimes I make really stupid decisions. Sometimes I make really good decisions. I've accepted that I'm not perfect, and neither is anyone else. I think the most important thing in life is smiling. I really love my friends.

My Interests

I'm an astrologer. Here's my natal chart. Yours looks similar, but each one is like a fingerprint.

Surfing is fun.

Jenn is my best friend.

Stephen is my Godson.

I am Dudley's mommy. He's the BEST dog in the world.

I'm also Dagget's mommy. She has lots of personality for a lizard.

I'd like to meet:

I like people who like the same stuff I like. People who have vision, imagination, and ambition. People who don't settle for crap. People who never stop learning, and like it that way. I'm happily taken, so don't try to date me. I like people who like to drink, who like to have fun, but who get their shit done when it's time. I like people who are nice to me. I like people who show respect toward others.
