Kindness to animals builds a better world for all of us

About Me

pessimistic optimist; realistic idealist; friendly snob; perfectionist; geek; vegetarian; passionate; expressive; moody; introspective; fiesty; clumsy; confident; straightforward; assertive; sweet; like to try new things; like to learn and to have a good debate; love animals, particularly cats. I like both partying and quiet evenings with good conversation or a movie. I drink too much coffee and spend too much time with my iBook. I hate being cold.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Dorks, nerds, and geeks! Fun, intelligent, passionate people who give good hugs! If you are a drama queen, or don't like cats then leave me alone. If you can both challenge me and make me laugh, message me. People who want give good homes to wonderful cats or volunteer with Heaven on Earth Society for Animals .
