About Me

sometimes i feel pulled between two dream worlds. part of me does want the cool apartment with a good stereo, large theatre-like screen etc, silver Porsche Carrera GT.. that beautiful drum set, that sleek guitar, frequent trips to the movies, so on and so forth. the other part of me just wants to have a simple life without material stuff, travelling round the world, just living and growing each day, i want something genuine.i have this whole wide social network which doesn't interest me so much anymore. i'm more concerned with having those close friends whom i can share with, those that i care for, that really matter to me.i do need to laugh till my tummy hurts, go crazy with my friends, but i must also have those deep reflective moments, sometimes alone, sometimes sharing with others.i have a very rebellious streak under that 'good girl' face of mine.sometimes i'm very boyish, at other times i'm very feminine. i'm sociable and people like me generally, but i'm also shy depending on circumstances. Those who know me though, say," YOU? SHY?????? " you get the point.

My Interests

dreams, expression, music, film/theatre (both viewing and performing), inspiration, motivation, reading, writing, poetry, the arts, depth, meaning, drumming, playing the guitar, singing, sinful food, infectious laughter, overwhelming melancholy, complexity, freedom, self-discovery, love, pain, possibility, learning, passion, a sense of purpose, contemplation, the intellect, hugs, the unconventional, quiet sophistication

I'd like to meet:

someone who shares the same interests and passions, who's like me and who will understand me, deep down inside. if you don't think you are but would still like to get to know me, go ahead :)
