About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace Layoutsbody, div, p, strong, td, .text,"Generosity is one of the qualities of the people of Paradise."

Baris and I (28 and 22 respectively) moved here in June of 2004, and in that time we haven't met very many people. We love to experience new things and get out. We've been two years, and we just bought a house ! Baris is a drummer, I sing and play a little guitar. We're pretty easy going, laid back people...and we are trying to settle into Minnesota and make it our home. Our favorite thing to do is have people over for dinner and sit and chat and play cards all night long!!

We are a sarcastic species, we tease but all in fun, and we are very dry in our comedy sometimes. We like movie and dinner nights with friends, come on over! Will fix up a fun dish and have a blast!!

My Interests

Music, friends, writing, reading, crafts (crocheting)

I'd like to meet:

WE NEED SOME FRIENDS!!! We like outgoing, fun, intelligent people with ambition and interests beyond video games and Television. We don't want to be joined at the hip and we don't need high maintenance cuz we aren't high maintenance. We're really "middle of the road" people when it comes to most things. We just want to hang out sometimes. This might be scary if you're a typical Minnesotan, but it'll be OK, just coffee once in a while, maybe an occaisional party, don't hyperventilate...I personally would like to meet Bette Midler...I could die happy if I met Bette Midler...anyone got any connections?!In case you're bored.... ..

Books:

classic literature, American Literature (Willa Cather, John Steinbeck), Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Historical Fictions; documentaries; good series, no matter the target age group (Like the Chronicles of Narnia... I'm addicted, never read Harry Potter though!); and anything good (no trashy romance novels for me!)!
