I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

OK before I get into all the fun "About me" stuff I just want to make one thing very clear. If you want to add me as a friend you need to send me a message and tell me why. Introduce yourself. If that's too much effort for you then you are clearly a spammer or some egocentric arse who's just out to collect "friends" so you look popular when people look at your page. I do not wish to add either type to my own friends list. So, no message, no add. Simple enough? Now as for me... I'm a paradox, a cynic who tries to look on the bright side, someone who generally expects the worst of people (and is therefore seldom surprised) yet manages to avoid being bitter. I dislike the majority of people on the planet but like people enough to try to get out there and find the truly fine ones worth knowing. I enjoy a quiet evening by the fireplace with a good book and my solitude and equally enjoy a good romp in the mosh pit should the ocassion arise...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people of all ages. I like to profit from the wisdom and experience of my elders, enjoy being on the same wavelength as those of my own age, and the young keep me entertained and remind me why I like being the age I am now! Of course, they also keep me young! Yes darlings, I really AM feeding on your vitality!..

Your EQ is 133
You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

You are warm and open. Even when life gets you down, you're unafraid of the world and its challenges.
You are comfortable with who you are. And you accept your weaknesses - as well as the weaknesses of others.

While you are quite stable, you don't respond perfectly to every bad situation that comes up.
But you have enough emotional intelligence to know when you need a course correction. What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?
You Are Bad Girl Sexy
Girl, you are nothing but trouble. And that's hot.
You've got the classic bad girl sexiness mojo going on.
And your badass attitude makes men fear you - and crave you.
Don't give into people who say to tone it down. You're perfect as is. What Kind of Sexy Girl Are You?

For the Love of NightO softly draw the net of night over meThat I may wing aloft in velvet skiesAnd draw me close that I may seeThe flaming stars of thine eyesThe silken cloth of thy skinSo warm again...

Goth Poetry, oh yeah
