I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I may be quiet at first, but when I warm up, I can be a bit of a spaz - in a good way.

Although I would prefer stay in the background myself, I don't like loud people who want to take the spotlight at all cost, I find them arrogant and simply unpleasant.

I love writing (nothing published or public at this time).

I love playing with my digital camera, just ask my friends about how I took over 1300 pictures just to catch lighting on a stormy night.

If I consider you a friend, I am loyal to the end, but betray me and all bets are off! :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

... depends on my mood

Music:

Pretty much from A to Z... I like original stuff, as well as commercial. My fav right now is acid jazz, Mika, and Scissor Sisters.

Movies:

From Hell, The Ninth Gate, Chocolat, Le Fabuleux Destin D'amelie Poulin, Spiderman 1 & 2, Spanglish, Star Wars ( 4, 5 - even if it is NOT a love story....and maybe 6 if you buy the popcorn), Kiss Kiss Bang! Bang! - the best so far!

Television:

Yes, I am a TV junkie...love Sci-Fi stuff, and CSI too!

Books:

Have them, read them, love them. Especially if it has nothing to do with real life. Love reading e-books too!

New Year - New....
