About Me

Hi all! I'm Joanna... a genuine, strong minded 27 year old girl's girl looking to network, make new friends from all over the world and (hopefully eventually) meet Mr Right at some point along the way (not necessarily online but I'm open minded)! Romantically I simply get fussier and stronger in character with age! I'm not a girl of the 'easy' variety... I have high standards! :-)

I have a BA (Hons) degree in Drama & American Studies (yes, a brain! haha) and my dream would be to make it in the world of professional acting... Have worked in television before but not significantly. I have auditioned for drama school but unfortunately, so far, not made it in (competitive business). So it'd have to be another route... But I certainly won't quit!

Having previously worked for an International Conference, Exhibition and Entertainment venue doing Event Planning I have finally decided on my long term back up career plan. I currently work as a Human Resources Advisor whilst studying to obtain graduate CIPD membership on top of my IOSH Health & Safety certificate. I might take it all the way through to a Masters, then I'd have 2 degrees, wow! Ha ha... I'm a happy, positive and ambitious girlie. So much to do and so little time... The world is my oyster! You never know, I may be spotted on a television screen near you sometime in the future... But even if not, I'm guaranteed to be making a splash somewhere! :-)

I'm highly artistic and have the biggest passion for theatre (being onstage performing mostly although I like watching productions too). I can always be found on the local stage and even in the county newspaper more often than not! I won the Outstanding Female Performance award in the regional round of the All-England Amateur Theatre Festival in 2004, 2005 AND 2007 (2006 wasn't held so it's 3 years in a row)!! Nothing compares to the buzz I get being onstage... My theatre group got to the third heat of the festival in 2007. I also act professionally on a part time basis for a company that host Murder Mystery events, evenings and weekends.

I'm adventurous, did a skydive for charity at the end of 2005 which was AMAZING and I love to travel; particular fan of the USA. I work hard and like to play hard... :-) Definitely would love to take 6 months out somewhere down the road and visit several destinations.

I couldn't live without music (bit of a rock chick) or my family... I'm a lucky girl, I have a wonderful family, they are the most important people in my world. My true friends are also very special to me. I'm loyal to a fault, I'll do anything for the people I love (they know who they are). I'll respect anyone till they disrespect me. I don't tend to suffer fools gladly! He he...

Oh, and I love Pepsi Max, hence the profile name! So, if you're wanting to know more, chat about something/nothing in particular or add me, drop me a line! I'm friendly! LOL

My Interests

Among others... Theatre (being onstage and off, acting, singing & dancing), music, TV/movies, wrestling, fitness, photography, writing, travelling (near or far), theme parks, walking, SHOES, chocolate, nights in, live events, clubbing, spending time with good friends, meeting new people, kisses/cuddles (lol)... and occasionally I can hold my own on the ice rink or at the bowling alley! I'm utterly hopeless at playing pool though... Oh, I like talking and I love pink, 100% female! Ha ha.

I'd like to meet:

Definitely the love of my life, eventually! My soulmate. Although not necessarily online. I'm just a traditional kind of girl ultimately looking for a guy who's worth it... Been single more than 4 years now *gasp* but being in the dating game means I certainly know what's what! Ha ha... (See blog, above)!

I will go for a guy with decent values (respect, honesty and loyalty being most important), manners, someone who doesn't play mind games, isn't afraid to show he cares and loves his family! I'd like a man I can trust and genuinely call my friend. I'm very much a modern woman but with traditional views when it comes to romance.

I'm healthily independent but looking for someone who'd share my ideals for life. Someone with passion and ambition who understands about 'wanting more out of life...'! Oh, and I'd need to find him irresistibly attractive, of course!! Hehe... I wouldn't necessarily need him in my life, but I want him - there's a difference! Too many people rely on their partner for their happiness - I believe we create our own and another person shares/compliments it for the better alongside their own! If you love someone, give them wings to fly...

As far as famous people go, I think I would have to say Matthew McConaughey! Oh my my... :) Closer to home I'll pick Rob James-Collier (Corrie's Liam), I'm liking him a fair bit!

Then maybe George Bush, because I'm sure he'd give me a good laugh! I can't believe that man is actually the President of the United States! (Counting down the days mind you...!)

On My Space I'd like to meet cool people from all over the world, male or female, who fancy debating life's beauty and strangeness... New friends, old friends! :-)

Check out the video for Forever Never's new single Empty Promises - below! The band is awesome and the video stars Moi! :-)

Heroes:

My Parents (without a doubt two of the most incredible individuals I know and people I admire greatly!) and also my friend Wendy. That woman is a true inspiration!!
