I'd like to meet:
My name is Candice. I tend to possess an innate unwillingness to conform to the expectations and norms set by society. I often need to understand the difference between commitment and entrapment. I like those who are openminded and enjoy seeing things from alternative points of view, although I don't always agree. I am strong-willed and determined about the things I regard as important. When I attempt to conform, I tend to loose touch with what makes life worth living for me. I like to make my own rules, set my own goals no matter the ramifications. I am adaptable and pretty down-to-earth. I usually collect friends with unusual occupations and interests the way people collect stamps, appreciating them for their beauty, their art and their individuality. I find solace in nature and animals and have a close connection with both, maybe because they make no demands other then that we coexist. I cherish the importance of family. I love different cultures and diversity in human nature. I despise war. I am a feminist. I strive to keep a centeredness and balance in my life, to always continue learning who I am and what my purpose is in life.
i don't like: people who dont keep their word on promises, war, violence, murderers, racists, rapists, homophobes, pervos, pedophiles, socks, rich and famous, mainstream america, gluttony and excess, religious fanatics who force their beliefs on others and are hypocritical in nature, people who complain about their problems and dont do anything to change them, exploitation - especially of women, people who abuse animals or other people, the shallow and unabsorbed, the government or lack there of, corruption, greed, poverty, starvation, shopping in mass production (aka- carbon copying), money, carelessness, men that think they are too hard for emotions, Howard Stern, being away from those i love, death, unoriginal music, sadness, working for the man, alarm clocks... i really dont like alot, but why focus on the negative. (i just count backwards to ten, go to my cave and find my power animal...slide)
