MySpace Avatars Lyrics
I enjoy listening to film soundtracks and dancing around the house to dance themes like 'Flashdance' and 'Fame'.
.
I'm highly interested in learning about International Development/Disaster Relief/Humanitarian Aid, and my part to play.
.
I am fascinated by metaphysics and manifesting what you desire into the physical plane through the law of attraction.
.
As an amateur Colour/image consultant i enjoy analysing peoples' seasonal colours ('Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn' or 'Winter') and their personal style.
.
I am a 'Pastel Spring' (SPRING blended with SUMMER).
.
I only read practical books - i cant bear wasting my time on novels when i can watch the film in less of the time.
.
Topics that interest me are The four temperaments; human behaviour; personal progress; colour; light; energy;
The creation; personal education; helping others to help themselves; language; cultures; communication; barriers people place between each other; and learning about how to love humankind esp at church.
.
I love the sound of the sea, walking barefoot in streams and on grass, willow trees, warm sunshine with gentle breezes, reading under a tree, candy floss, english country gardens, bluebells in the woods, fields of cornflowers; poppies; lavender, daffodils, wild daisies, tulips, roses, hyacinth bulbs on the windowsill, the smell of yellow freesias, babies, warm-toned, rich, earthy colours, individuality/comfort in what I wear versus so-called fashion, clean clothes floating on the washing line, edible smelling candles like gingerbread, cookies and chocolate. Then there's the real edibles like Hagen Das - 'pralines 'n' cream', Ben n Jerry's 'chunky monkey', Rum'n'raisin ice-cream, (actually most flavours) banoffie pie, cheesecake, carrot cake, Victoria Sandwich sponge cake, profitiroles, chips/fries, crisps (esp Monster Munch and Walkers/Lays) and believe it or not - healthy/wholesome, organic and vegetarian food!
.
I love my family
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who would like to meet me!
.
I am drawn to warm, dependable, kind people.
.
Open-minded, free-spirited, spontaneous, adventurous, fun, non-judgmental people who I can feel comfortable to be myself around, down-to-earth; straightforward; sincere people who love to act playful and be in the moment. I enjoy being with people who don't pose or try to be someone they're not, just to fit in. I am a loner in many ways, I am very eccentric at times, but those of you who really know me - know that I just don't want to be one of the sheep.
I admire daring people who have the courage to live whatever they believe in, and who have the courage to have faith and try new things. I am always curious about uncovering absolute truths - I question everything about everything, and while I believe there is much good in the world I also believe there is corruption everywhere you turn, and so I worry about my future and the future of this whole planet.
Music:
I enjoy film soundtracks, folk rock, ballads, indie, alternative, experimental, progressive, funk, punk, acoustic, electro, dance, easy-listening, steel drums/pans - n calypso, hawaiian, classical-rock, Big band, swing, some jazz, some country, some reggae, some psychedelic, some hip-hop, some r&b, some blues, some soul, some motown, 70s and 80s pop. and some of Westlife.

I like anything a bit different, has something of worth to say, thought provoking, or about someone who redeems themself in life. I enjoy thrillers, whodunnits, action, drama, romantic, cultural, but nothing gory or excessive violence and sex. I love beautifully crafted epics with panoramic scenery like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' type stuff, with colourful imagery. I enjoy supernatural or out there films.
I don't like watching vampire or sinisterly bizarre films.
These kinds of films bring a bad feeling into the home. Films must teach me something or improve my attitude towards life...so a good comedy is always great medicine!
