About Me

I realize I have a ridiculous amount of stuff in my music/movie interests. I can't help it. I try to minimalize it now and then, but I like so many different things and I feel that it's important to express all I can about myself for you to get somewhat of an understanding of all that I am. So much is said about the things one likes...more than people give credit, at least.So I guess day to day I'm just trying to find out what it is that I really want to get out of this life. I love traveling, visiting new places and people, learning new things. Just being there soaking in all of the culture and atmosphere gives me a high. I love being outdoors...nature makes life seem so much more clear to me. I love dance, music, art, theater...anything creative. I just want to enjoy life and be surrounded by easy-going, fun, intelligent people looking to do the same!

My Interests

Fashion, live music, riding my bike, dancing, reading, good conversation, being silly, drawing, camping, anything outdoors really. I have a great time doing just about anything, especially if I'm in good company.Dangerous Dave & Brutal Bob

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people who make me smile. People who have figured out that your life is what you make of it, and don't complain about the little things. Anyone down to earth...I don't understand when people take life and themselves too seriously and miss all the great things going on around them.
