About Me

A picture holds a thousand words.
[Pictures are clickable!]
Ever had a stranger tell you that you look like somebody famous but they can't remember who? then you end up signing autographs anyway and walking away wondering if you maybe have too many friends on your myspace?
My name is Ida, I'm South-African, and Irish. I live in South-Africa at the moment and I travel to Las Vegas frequently and plan to move there permanently someday because my family lives there ... of all places!!! My brother's got a band here and I pretty much maintain their websites for them, I'm also their photographer, and sometimes shrink...
I am a Photographer. I don't even think of it as my job, that's how much I love it. I get to take photos for a living, how cool is that? I've always been interested in it and I love learning more and more about cameras everyday, that kind of makes me a geek in most people's eyes but I honestly don't care.
When people meet me, they either hate me or love me. Because I'm a person that will slap you as fast as I'll kiss you. I don't suffer fools, and I'm sure as hell not a liar.I speak my mind, If you don't like it, don't add me. If I think you suck, I'll tell you. Apart from that, I do love meeting new people and hearing what they have to say. Everyone in this world has a story to tell, their stories inspire me in my photography and poetry.
I love music, movies, playing guitar, hangin out with friends and basically just enjoying life. I'm easy-going, open-minded, straightforward, and honest, I have an IRISH temper, I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, and I don't take mickey mouse bullshit from anyone. I'm a very emotional person, more so than I let on. Don't try and get on my good side if you have bad intentions. If you decide that you want to try and win my heart, please make sure you won't end up breaking it in the future. I'm the kind of person who will kill you with kindness... or with my bare hands. ...

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting interesting, genuinely nice people, and making new friends, but only if they write me an email first and tell me who they are, I have no patience or time for people who just add me and never keep in touch. Usually people talk to eachother before they think of eachother as friends, I think the same applies to myspace.

Drama queens, bitches, perverts, morons, or assholes are NOT welcome here.

Oh yeah one more thing, I can smell a player a MILE away. .. so don't even bother. I'm busy, you're ugly, have a nice day.

An interesting version of love...

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it for the first time, vices & virtues floated around and were bored, not knowing what to do. One day, all the vices and virtu...
