About Me

I once walked by this guy on the street who had his walkman on, and he was singing out loud, with a rockstar look on his face. Some people looked at him like he was crazy, I looked at him with a big smile. I love what I do in my life, and I love life itself. I've never experienced real love and that's okay with me, I've learned to work with what I got. What I got is great friends, the ability to dance, and taste buds to enjoy my favorite foods. I really love great company, but I love my alone time too. You'll rarely see me wearing black, and I dont' belive in luck, but I do believe in hard work. 'Clueless' is one of my favorite movies, and right now, I wanna pee in my pants when I watch 'The Office' and DVD's of 'Arrested Development'. I believe by doing little things like fitting grocerys into one plastic bag instead of two, we'd have a healthier atmosphere. Toronto... the city in which I was born and raised, is considered by some to be a stuck up town. Deep down, Torontonians are very good hearted and loving people. They may not look up and smile at you walking down the street, but that's only cuz they're too cold. If you saw me at a club, I'd be the one dancing my ass off to 'Tenderness' by General Public on 80's nite. And if you heard a rumor that I don't drink or smoke, it wasn't a rumor, you heard it in my song. I don't always get metaphors like 'pull the wool over your eyes' right. So usually I just make up my own..... I just havn't done any lately. It's true that I like to play matchmaker and hook people up, so let me know what you're looking for and I'll try my best. PS. Girls just wanna have fun! -daphne
