About Me

A lot of myspace layouts

piDesignsI am fun-loving, silly most of the time, and out-doorsey. I love going to winneries, reading, writing, fishing, camping, canoeing, just hanging out, seeing live local bands, playing pool (I suck at it, but I love to play). I adore all types of theatre events. I am quite a paradox. I can enjoy diggin the mud one second, and then getting cleaned up and going out for an elegant dinner the next second.People are always telling me that I have a great sense of humor and I know I love to laugh. I try to always see things from other people's perspectives (even if I don't agree). I enjoy all types of music (not rap or opera though).. I enjoy many genres of art.My biggest fault (honestly) is that I am generous to a fault (often giving of myself to the point of self-sacrifice) and I am struggeling to find the balance there...I am divorced. I also struggle sometimes to find the justice in the world where things don't turn out the way we have planned them. I never saw myself as 34 and a statistic, but I learned something very valuable throughout all the ordeals, and that is ONE person can not make a relationship-- no matter how hard they try. So, we move on and learn to live again.I don't lie and I don't want to be around anyone who does. I am pretty open and honest about everything (just ask me and I will tell you anything you want to know). I feel like I am friendly and I love meeting new and interesting people (In fact, I am always talking to total strangers) so, I guess that means that I am pretty outgoing.Respect in general is BIG for me. I am a bit old fashioned in the fact that I don't EXPECT a man to open the door or anything like that, but it is impressive.I have never done an illegal drug and I am not keen about hanging with people who do use drugs... so if that is judgemental of me, I am okay with that.My hope is that you will take the time to email me and get to know me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people-- men or women and find that friendships are harder and harder to come by as we grow older-- everyone seems to keep so busy and I am no exception. My job often takes up a huge amount of time, but when i am not working, I really enjoy relaxing with buds. I would LOVE to meet new, interesting people to hang with!Cute, intelligent men are ALWAYS welcome to email me! ha ha
