what is the difference between what i think and what u think i think?

About Me

history: i have an accent to everyone cause i'm 1/2 cuban, 1/4 scottish and a good dose of other european mixes. born usa brought up 'kiwi-ish'. did design school. ********************************************************** now: i live in a small country called New Zealand - beautiful place and particulary excellent if ur into outdoor things - ur never more than 4 hours from the beach and that is only if ur at the top of the glaciers or ski fields in the middle of the island. not to mention the film industry is pretty hot over here these days. married (94) to highschool flame - but nah haven't been together the whole time - we got together in our mid 20s. am 'proud parent' of three cherubs (boy97, girl99, boy02). have been through the bliss of being in love and out the otherside. takes a bloody lot of work and so far stubborness on both sides. ********************************************************** general: i am creative - doesn't matter what i think of i always see a better/more interesting way to do something; others call this perfectionism but i don't usually get hooked up about it. opinionated but non-judgemental. persistant. occasionally lazy and guilt-ridden. most humourous when i am not trying to be. fierce. more thinking than i give myself credit for.

My Interests

family and friends. laughing. sex. gaming. reading. swimming. interesting food. exhileration. saving the world. oh yeah and then there is the art and music side which i ignore too often.

I'd like to meet:

ummm have to think about this - if i decide there is someone i really want to meet then i would do something about it. my grandmothers again: i never have spent time with them since i became a mother and would be wonderful to have those talks that come from having a shared history.

Music:

all of it - but am more selective in some areas than others. music is expression to me - there are different languages that express different ideas better than others. i play clarinet, oboe, flute, violin, piano and happily have a bash at anything else that comes within reach.

Movies:

matrix, princess bride, lotr, highlander. there are others but i'm not too focused on movies

Television:

rarely watch it- and if i do its a planned blob fest but would prefer to do it with a few dvds.

Books:

i read for entertainment and knowledge currently reading da vinci code (got too curious). just finished first of Robin Hobbs new FitzChivalry series. better than original so far. regularly read nationl geo, selected bits of the newspaper, to my kids, local thinking womens mag called Next

Heroes:

when i get to know someone i usually find something to be inspired by - we all become quiet heroes in our lives just by living through the things that we all do, even if we don't recognise it. some of us are more heroic on some days than others. it's a choice i tell myself.
