My Interests

lots SUMMER LOVIN', CARY-STYLE! " ">

I'd like to meet:

somebody who understands my WACK sense of humor PEOPLE WHO TURN THE VOLUME *****UP*****someone w/a subscription to The Oxford Analytica. someone who wants to give me some very fine jewelry, possibly some odd-marketable securities. someone who wants to stroll languidly with me on a leisurely tour of their exotic-pet-littered estate gardens. someone who knows where there's a field of poppies for me to lie in. talk to me. * * *also someone with zoological connections... i.e. you can get me into the pediatrics dept./nursery at your zoo, you have a koala, you know who breeds fennec foxes. tell me about your very emotional encounters with octopods and close brushes with cnidarians. if you are an invertebrate geek message me... i don't think these people are on myspace though. i think they're in central congo with nets and macros.
