I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

All I can say is I'm a very compassionate person and I love my friends. I enjoy helping people, making new friends, introducing people to each other, hanging with my ferocious silky terrier, reading "fast life people" books and writing my own books/short stories. I love music - probably classical music the most - it's intriguing, mysterious and talented. There is a dark side and a light side to classical music. I'm a cultured person and enjoy spending time with others who share my passions.

My Interests

Writing, fiction, music, opera, movies (HUGE MOVIE BUFF), horror, art and dogs.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who sparks my imagination - I like to meet people I can turn into characters....(I'm a fiction writer.)I used to be a manager of audits, accounting and special consulting projects at a CPA firm but one day I was involved in a horrible car accident with a semi truck which left me permanently disabled. Due to my injuries, I have RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). If you wish to know more about my disability, Google it or read my blogs!I'd also like to meet those who do not get "spooked" when knowing a friend is suffering daily from severe pain. Many people I meet on this site talk to me and then I never hear from them after they find out what is "really" wrong with me. It's quite pathetic and childish on their part....and their loss. I'm a TRUE friend - someone one doesn't come across in a lifetime - "one of a kind".I'd like to meet other "one of a kinds" - people who love life and sharing intellectual and imaginative thoughts with others.Artistic people - mostly those who love art and literature. (I have enough "music" friends....)
