I am here for Friends

About Me

Liberal, vegetarian Texan. Well, technically I live in Arizona now, but I like the contrast with Texan better. I don't think that Arizonan really evokes much. It just makes people ask you where you're REALLY from. Most people here seem to be escaping from something else they didn't think too much of. Cold. Humidity. Boredom. If I was escaping anything when I moved here it was a lifetime career in the Department of Homeland Security at FEMA and the extra 300 lbs that seems to be mandatory with it. Saved by International Education again and again. This profile was made at Whateverlife.com! :)

My Interests

Scuba diving and travel, usually combined since AZ is not the best place to dive. Road trips. The dog park, not so much an interest as a necessity due to my dog who thinks of me less as a master and more as a driver who shuttles her there every night.

I'd like to meet:

I suppose people I already know, but it would be cool to find people I've lost. Although, I don't tend to lose people I want to hold on to. If you're lost, it probably wasn't by accident. You all know who you are so just move on.
