Hi all,
well ... here I am and should write something extra-ordinary and/or interesting about myself. But actually I'm not that keen on pitching myself as someone special as no one is really perfect! (and wouldn't that be boring anyways?)
I'd say I am a humerous, tolerant, open-minded, straightforward and honest person. I like to travel around the world: mostly to England, Scotland, Outer Hebrides, the US (i.e. New York, Los Angeles ... I even went to Omaha, NE. some years ago), Canada ... and from time to time even to New Zealand!
So much so, first things first ... 'cause eventually it all began a long time ago on the day autumn starts, when I was born on September 23rd in the year of '67! Ages later here I am and not a single bit wiser ...!
Redbrownish hair, brown eyes with a 'touch' of green ... needless to say my ancestors were originally Highland Scots, but by the 1700s they were living on Rathlin Island off the coast of Ballycastle, County Antrim, Northern Ireland ... no wonder, that I call today Scotland my home and tend to have a "crush" on Irish men!
From the very first time I travelled to the Northern Highlands many years ago I felt "at home" and completely at ease! And in about 10 to 15 years from now I'm definetely moving to my *homeland* ... that's for sure!!!
Until then, I'll be travelling abroad as often as possible, go to England or the US to visit dear friends at their concert and/or musical performances and enjoy some leisure activities as well.
Mainly I'm travelling abroad to see and enjoy MUSICALS and THEATRE PRODUCTIONS in London and New York:

I just love musical/theatre productions (especially Shakespearean ones for the latter); I love Baritones to death and musicians and/or performers with stunning, magnificent voices whose timbre send shivers down my spine when listening to their songs! I could listen forever to my favourite musicians :-)
And since discovering some brilliant performers here on MySpace as well, I got completely hooked on Daniel Kirkley, Mark Rosenbauer, Giles Tomkins and Marc Devigne!!! (guys, your voices are soooooooooooooooo *amazingly magical* --- THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC!!!)
All in all I also enjoy sharing many of my hobbies with my best friends as well as spending free time with my parents, bro and my two nephews!
