'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

I'd like to meet:

those individuals whose lives are defined by instinct and intuition; passion for travelling and adventure-- people who posess a poetic conscience, intellectual stamina, open-minded/hearted wisdom, honest rhetoric, and undeniably contradicting. I seek a person whose soul speaks naturally, passionately, and uncontrollably... OH AND ANYONE WHO CAN CONSTRUCT A PAIR OF FINE STILTS FOR THIS WOMAN IN NEED!
I got my background from Backgrounds Archive!

Music:


"The Happy Phantom", you have a wild and
passionate heart. On the outside, you are
what is socially expected of you: kind,
honest, loyal... You probably have many
friends. However, beneath this polished
exterior lies a michevous side, one that
yearns for passion, sex, danger, and all
things taboo. Don't worry, there's nothing
wrong with that. Most of us have a wild side
buried inside of us as well.
