About Me

My friends who know me in person would say I am an example of those people you would label "still waters run deep".....such a quiet unassuming looking person....until I grin.

I am one of those people who can't remember absolutely everything I am supposed to.....I think it has something to do with being a mom. BUT, I can remember all kinds of useless trivia.

I have quirky sense of humour, I suppose. I come to myspace for people interaction and laughs.

I'm an educated person, but I really don't care if you are or not. I believe that everyone has interesting stuff to say.......everyone has things that they've learned in life and useful tidbits to share.

My Interests

I love music, cooking, gardening, g-junking (going to a second, third or fifth hand store and finding something of value to me), reading, walking/hiking, having an interesting thought provoking conversation

I'd like to meet:

When I was in high school and university, I had a poster above my desk. It was a poem call "If" by Rudyard Kipling. I'd read it for inspiration, especially if I was feeling down or discouraged.....then I'd take a breath and keep going. Being female, I DID change the word "man" to "woman" in the last sentence :)

I'd like to meet people who aspire to any one of those "ifs".

I DO have two rules....I like to have conversations with people.......NOT just friend and that's it. If all you want to do is increase your friend count, I am not for you.

The second rule is this......I'm on DIAL-UP....if your profile is so cluttered it takes me ten minutes to download it to read it.......please don't bother, 'kay?

Music:

all kinds.....Loreena McKennit, Sarah Mclaughlin, Abba, Evanescence, Queen, Audioslave, Nickelback, Collective Soul, AC/DC, Christina Aguilera, Low Millions, Operator, 3 Days Grace, Rob Thomas, The Guess Who, Blue October

Movies:

The original three Star Wars Movies, the first Matrix movie, Remember the Titans, Fast and the Furious, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Last of the Mohicans, Top Gun, It's a Wonderful Life, Sweet Home Alabama, The Fugitive, The Hunt For Red October, Fight Club. I like movies that were the first of their kind and that changed the way that films were made or written, and I also like movies that have amazing dialogue or really good plot.

Television:

I watch very little television.....the internet is more interesting at the moment. I do sometimes watch Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, Judge Judy (yes really!), Ghost Whisperer. I like nature shows or scientific shows......does anyone remember a show called Science International?

Books:

Too many to list, and it depends on my mood. I'll read sci/fi, fantasy, mystery, historical, ghost stories, romances, mainstream, etc etc. I read for information too.....even cookbooks (how's that grab ya!).

Heroes:

People who help others with no thought for themselves.
