My Interests

Adoption, adoption reform, open adoption, politics, news junky, npr and talk radio junky! Real Life---I never met a

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who've been around a block or two... but have straitened their lives up! Like ME! I'm interested in meeting more Arabic people and especailly those Arabs from Libya. I want to connect with as many Adoption related people as I can. I need to meet the man of my dreams although I'm quite sure that won't happen on MySpace.

Television:

Six Feet Under (hands down the best television ever made)http://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/, Sex and the City, Weeds (2nd only to Six Feet Under) Barbershop (Showtime), Almost anything that HBO creates and Showtime is starting to catch up. Other than that, I'm a reality tv lover and addicted to the NEWS...national not local, My local news people are the biggest joke!!
