I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Reiteration to men with no other interest than to add half naked chicks to your profile. I have no desire to be lumped in with them, so back off. I also will not add you unless you've sent me a thouroughly interesting message, and not interesting in the scary serial killer way either. I am back in jersey after living and working over sea's for 3 years. Worked on a couple of cruise ships singing and dancing my way across the atlantic and pacific. I moved to South Africa(for almost 2 years) to be with my now ex-boyfriend clearly not living there anymore, but I worked and made lots of lovely friends there, and miss it. When they told me Africa calls you home they weren't kidding. Things you should know about me: I am sarcastic, silly, vegan, don't consider drinking to be at the top of my entertainment list ( though a glass of wine is this close to heaven), love music. Oh and I am a handful.Oh and I speak my mind and don't beat around the bush, but will beat through the bush at least if I am in the bush (that is when I am in Africa I don't just go around beating through random bushes in New jersey) I appreciate honesty, and affection and openness. Also I am clever.

My Interests

Singing, Singing singing singing, writting, acting, (I love my job). Dancing. Running 15k is my best distance but I keep doing marathons for some reason. swimming doing crunches (yeah thats fun)Pilates (hard and awesome and makes you feel strong and fierce), Yoga Cooking, juicing vegetables to make me healthy, I read alot epsecially history books, hasseling smokers I HATE smoking!

I'd like to meet:

people from all my schools that I lost touch with, same goes for my cruise ship and show pals. fellow musicians, especially for some mutual brain picking. Always up for meeting a fellow vegan, just no psycho militant vegans. I'm all up for supporting PETA but people who put the love for their meat eating families behind their love for animals piss me off.
adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

Ladysmith Black Mambazo,Mika ! Bonnie Raitt, Arthur Crudup, Musical Theatre: Wild Party,Songs for a New World Dixie Chicks, Rent, Wicked, Ray Charles, anything Jason Robert Brown, The Fantastics, Handel, Schubert, Debussy Debussy Debussy, Mika, Ella, Billie, Lena oh yeah..The Blues old Jazz... if its good I will like it

Movies:

Gone with the Wind, Singing in the Rain, American in Paris, Dreamgirls, Really like Across the Universe I can't wait for Sex and the City!!!!! yep I am that girl

Television:

i don't watch much tv (anymore) it makes me kind of useless, I'll sit there really not enjoying anything but have an inability to turn it off. That said I watch American Idol (with my mom) Lost and if I can catch the rugby

Books:

Winds of War, War and Rememberance, The Omen, The Man who died, pretty much D.H. Lawrence in general, Claudius the God, and robert graves in general really good historical fictionand non fictional history, those european royals are always entertaining and anything music related, also I really like House on Sugar beach its a memoire about living in Liberia (she was 12 when the civil was started and soon after had to flee to america its fantastick)
