Courage Respect Honesty

About Me

My name is Alexandra, my interests include playing the piano and flute, watching football and listening to music. i love to read and am quite an athletic person. i love the beach and spend my spare tym rock-climbing and writing poetry. i heart karate.I am one of those gals who loves the darkness of rainy days. when the sky cries the world fills with electric energy and everything becomes surreal. I throw off my shoes at every opportunity, i feel like they restrict me. i dislike people who draw conclusions without knowing the full story, although i think we are all guilty of this. I am pretty laid back and have a really open mind. My big mouth tends to get me in to a lot of trouble but i appreciate my ability to say what often needs to be said. I am comfortable in my own skin and have come to like who I am. I have no pretences.. and what you see is what you get. I love South Africa and am priviledged to live in a country that is alive with possibility. Myspace Graphics
