About Me

Someone once asked me to describe myself in 10 words or less in 5 seconds ‘Friendly, loyal, honest, fun, passionate and slightly geeky’ was my reply. ‘Now give me 5 words for what you expect in a friend’ was the next question. My reply? ’Friendly, loyal, honest fun & real’. Pretty simple stuff. I love music and I love to read. I like facts and working out what makes people tick. Technology and gadgets intrigue me. Arrogant and rude people irritate me. I have dreams I chase and I believe in myself and those close to me. Nothing impresses me more than the spark of intelligence in a person's eye and a fast wit. I love to travel and head off to music festivals and concerts with friends. I live in a small country town where sometimes people’s minds are narrow and their mouths are open wide with gossip. There are times when I feel I don’t fit in. I love my friends and family. I cherish the security my family provide. I also love change. If there is one thing we can be sure of in the world, it’s change.O.K, enough about me… I’d prefer to hear about you!~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.~ W.
