Well, hmmm .I love running, especially on the beach. I've even run two grueling marathons. Reading is definitely a passion as well as music, particularly rock of all types but I'm open to other genres as well. I also enjoy hiking and camping, anything outdoors. I'm a no-nonsense girl with a decent sense of humor (almost nothing surprises me, I'm not easily grossed out and odds are I'm thinking of stuff that would surprise many, I just don't share: if I'm smiling or giggling to myself I'm probably thinking of something I shouldn't say out loud). I don't make excuses for myself. I am who I am and the decisions I make, I own. I do not grovel or beg and I'm not pious. There is no respect to be gained on your knees (perhaps there's one exception, heehee .). I don't care if others don't like me. I'm a likeable person and a caring, responsible friend, but if someone's got a chip on their shoulder or a thorn in their ass for no plausible reason, that's not my problem. I've got better things to do than to try to please others who won't give me the time of day. I like myself and as high as I set my standards. I'm non-judgemental when it comes to those I care for and have a wide range of friends but I will not lower my standards or compromise my well-being to accomodate others, especially those who think they can take advantage of me (I see through them anyways, I'm a pretty good judge of character). I accept others as they are and only ask that they return the courtesy, if they cannot than I don't want him/her in my life.
