About Me

Hi! I'm 41 living in Salt Lake City. I have lots of interests--music, art, poetry, movies. I have my MA in Creative Writing. Check out my blog for some poetry! I'm a bit of a homebody--I'd much rather spend an evening listening to music than spend it at a club. But I do love dancing and go out once a month or so! Would love to meet some new friends, hope you'll drop me a line!!
.. You scored as Alexander the Great. Strong, likeable, energetic, good looking- you are the very image of youth. You set out to conquer the world, and in a very 4th century BC sense, you did. Within four years you shattered the Achaemenid empire. You liked to celebrate your victories with excessive eating and partying. But, only the good die young- you died in your thirties, at the prime of your empire.To learn more about Alexander, click here: Alexander the Great on the web

What Mythical Creature Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
You Are Italian Food
Comforting yet overwhelming.
People love you, but sometimes you're just too much. What Kind of Food Are You?

I'd like to meet:

A shy, sweet woman. They say "Opposites Attract." Let's be the exception. Are you a little shy and very sweet? So am I. Do you love cooking together and dancing in the living room? Is an evening spent together at home better than an evening spent at a club? I agree. I'm 41 and divorced. I work full-time, love movies, music and good food. I'm very romantic, caring and thoughtful. I'm looking for an attractive, caring and kind woman who is serious about beginning a loving relationship. If you're interested, knock and I will answer.

Create your own visitor map!
You're the color blue. You have the three c's in life--you're cool, caring and confident. Trustworthy and honest, people are naturally attracted to you. You're unusually optimistic, but that makes life all the better. You're an imaginative person who loves sleeping and dreaming. Hard-working and determined, you excell in school. You're everybody's favorite, and this is because you have this undefined richness in your personality and attitude. Mild-tempered and stable. Not to mention very intelligent. Along with the fact that you're conservative, you're worried about the environment. So basically, you're a generous, dependable and devoted--just the kind of person everybody needs. Wouldn't it be great if everybody in the world were like you?The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

Heroes:

Those masterful images because complete Grew in pure mind, but out of what began? A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street, Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can, Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder's gone, I must lie down where all the ladders start In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.

You may be a little grumpy and unapproachable, but every commander needs to distance himself. Shame that you apply that to your children too.
