About Me

I'm an easy-going type of person - down to earth. I don't like lots of drama in my life, but sometimes it just finds me. I like to go out, have fun. My interests range from music, singing, sports, musicals/opera/theatre, camping, dancing, cards, pool, so on and so on. Staying connected to my friends is important; I like to hang out with them as much as possible. There is much to experience in life (obvious statement); at the end of it, I want to look back and feel satisfied that I did all that I set out to do. I suppose most important to me is to find a person to love like no other. I don't take myself too seriously; I laugh at myself (and sometimes...well, many times, at others). I tend to be blunt and straight-forward, but not cruel.

I'd like to meet:

People who want to worship me...really though, I gravitate towards people who are open, honest, straight-forward, funny, intelligent...People who don't try to be something they are not. I like people who like to go out and have fun. And, I really like people who think beyond the surface...who have something to say, who can share insights, offer different points of view without being confrontational and disrespectful. I like being challenged to think beyond my own circumstance, but not disrepected in doing so. Also, if you ask me a question, expect an honest answer.

Music:

hip hop, r&b, country, 80's, pop, some opera, classical; Christian; I like to sing, so anything I can sing along with is good.

All kinds...from sappy to chick flicks to sci-fi to drama to gangsta...Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Bridget Jones' Diary, Braveheart...and so on and so on

Dating/Venting

Betrayal of Self

Have you ever thought you felt one way, but felt another? I recently and unexpectedly discovered I felt something, but never realized I did. I felt like I had betrayed myself. I consider myself mor...

Drinking and Men

I need to learn that when I've been drinking, I shouldn't talk to men...bottom line. I'm not sure if it's my more alcohol-induced aggressive personality or lack of tolerance for bull shit or men them...
