Don't knock on Death's door, ring the doorbell and run away- He hates that.

About Me

I am a 36 year old photographer currently in eastern Washington State, but am from San Diego, California.
I am the type of person who hates sitting still for long and loves seeing new places, meeting new people, going out on the weekends, and experiencing new things. I am planning to move back to San Diego/California aby the end of Nov. so I can have more opportunities with life than Spokane can offer. I am excited, and anxious, about this. Hoping this will be sooner rather than later.
I am very friendly, positive thinking (most of the time), love to talk about everything under the sun, and meet new people. I can be fun, serious, or goofy...it depends on my mood. I also am a lover of movies, books, and music. I love to talk about these subjects often.
I love to travel and now that I am out of college, I intend to travel as often as possible. Have passport, will travel.
I dislike conservative politics, prejudice, racism, and sexism. So, if you are into any of these things, we will not get along. Sorry.
Life is a journey, experience it.

My Interests

movies, photography, art, reading real books, alternative/britpop/old jazz music, travel, roadtrips, shopping, fashion, surfing the Internet, journal keeping, museums, art galleries, concerts/shows/gigs, going out dancing, warm climates, summertime, beaches, hanging out with friends, coffeeshops, keeping up with current events, meeting new people, history, and lots more. Just ask and I will respond the best I can and expand on what I am interested in for you.

I'd like to meet:

Fun, creative, friendly, intelligent, forward thinking, people who are into the arts, photography, movies, reading, pop culture, and/or britpop/alternative/jazz music.

Please have a firm grip on reality and then we will get along swimmingly. I always have one foot in the "real world" at all times while online. I like a certain amount of positivity in people I know so, negative creeps stir clear of me please.

I have decided I need to widen my social circle and meet some new people. New friends are always welcome. I get along with people who are into movies, art, music, fashion, and just are creative. People who have life together and are working toward their dreams/goals. People who are positive, friendly, and like to go out instead of sitting at home all the time. And also I have decided not limit myself to just local people so people worldwide are welcome!

So, all friendly people feel free to send me a message, especially if your creative (photographer, artist, writer, designer, ect), excited about life, well-traveled or want to be well-traveled, in love with all things creative and new, and enjoy living life to the fullest. I really like to get to know other creative people who think that life rocks. It doesn't matter what part of the world you are in, just send a message my way and let's get talking!

I have a pretty hectic life sometimes so I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. Please be patient. :)
