Design, Photography, Cuisine, good film,Flora and Fauna, things that are fuzzy, laughter, music, smell of fresh cut grass, catching frogs and getting wet, Koi, staring contests, dancing like an idiot, eating something I grew myself, sittin' on the patio, Galaga. Girl talk, boy talk, best friends, and new friends. Optimism, smiles, meeting fantastic new people, learning something new, amazing myself by trying something new. Taking leaps, taking risks, diving into something with everything Ive got.
I'd like to meet:
All of you lovely people.
