About Me

My family and I emigrated here from London, England around 1966, and since then I have lived on the West and the East Coasts as well as in the Southwest. Then somehow ended up here, but it's not as i thought it might be, it's alright. Always loved the cities as well as the country. NYC is one of my favorites in terms of the energy. San Francisco grew on me too, especially the Mission District. Like to do many different things, and am very openminded. I have always loved different cultures and have been able to travel a bit. Have friends of all ages, and all "types" and don't like when people are stereotyped even though I've done it myself sometimes. Try to call myself on it when I do. I am a Scorpio and many of my planets are also in Scorpio. I am a strong and intelligent lady who loves good friends and laughter. Am a fighter, and a survivor, and a die-hard friend who will be down for those I care about. When I love... I really love.. which can occur on different levels depending on the relationship i.e. with a lover or a friend, but is always strong. Am very direct, but try to do it with consideration for the other person. I am real in my relationships and look for the same in others. I like to do lots of things with people,but also like and need some personal time just to be still.Of importance to me is the state of our world, so much ignorance and short-sightetness as well as many other words that are the negative sides of humans, some listed in the section below of those who i don't want to be around.Some words well said..."We live with the hope that as she battles to remake herself, South Africa, will be like a microcosm of the new world that is striving to be born. This must be a world of democracy and respect for human rights, a world freed from the horrors of poverty, hunger, deprivation and ignorance, relieved of the threat and the scourge of civil wars and external aggression and unburdened of the great tragedy of millions forced to become refugees".-Nelson Mandela- in a speech accepting the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Tend to gravitate to outgoing people who are interested in what else is going on outside of their world. Not attracted to people that are racist, haters, hypocrites, ignorent, egomaniacs, and people that feel that they are superior to others, especially those that are just different than themselves. Like or am attracted to strong people, but not those who try to make themselves powerful at the expense of others. Definately do not want to be around others who intentially or maliciously hurt people and justify it in their own minds because of something painful they've been through, anger, greed, insecurity, or ignorence. I want to be around those who are willing to recognize and do the work it takes to change if they are not happy or alright in their lives.
