First, let me make it clear. I am not on this site to pick up men. So all you young studs - stop writing to me!!I emigrated to the USA from England with a background in television. I miss my friends in the UK, but adore living in Southern California. I am passionate about living, my family, friends, parrots and kittens. Reading, music, theater and movies are some of my favorite things.If I may quote "The exhilaration of falling in love is an escape from ego - its selfishness and its sense of threat. Ego and love are incompatible. Love takes you on a journey into the unknown and uncertainty. The ego craves certainty. The ego's certainty is an illusion; uncertainty is the basis of life." If you get this, you get me.
