About Me

Well let’s see, general stuff about me. Well I guess I should start by saying that I am foreign, from South Africa, been living in the States for going on 9 years. I started out as an au pair, then went to school and now I am in the corporate world. I’ve been told that I am kind of sarcastic, but I don’t agree, I just don’t sugar coat it for anybody. I am a very straight forward person and have no problem telling you what I think or feel. I think I am open minded but I guess that is kind of up to who is asking. Other than that I guess I’m just a regular girl that likes to do regular things =~]

My Interests

Well, like most (I’m sure) I am interested in associating myself with intelligent people. I’m sure that is not exactly what you are supposed to write here but if you think about it, that phrase pretty much encompasses everything that one could/would be interested in. I mean you will only meet this kind of individual if you do intelligible things which I think might include every spectrum of ones life. I don’t think that you should limit yourself and only put down the usual interests, (i.e. hiking, reading, hanging w/ friends… etc.) - not that there is anything wrong with that. So I guess what I am saying is that I am interested in many different things =~]

I'd like to meet:

Anybody that can hold a decent conversation, oh and Johnny Depp of course!

Music:

I have a very definite liking of dance music but I also enjoy the great composers, Tchaikovsky being my favorite but also Bach, Mozart and Vivaldi. Other than that I enjoy your Brit-Rock and Euro-Pop. America also has its fare share of great Artists. Of these I enjoy Aerosmith, Beasty Boys, Bon Jovi, Nirvana, R.E.M, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Counting Crows, Collective Soul and of course I can keep on going but I am sure you get the idea.

Movies:

I think I am well rounded when it comes to my likes and dislikes of movies. My newfound old time favorite is Sixteen Candles. On the other hand a movie that has always been on my much loved list is The Red Violin. For a little adventure I like the Indiana Jones Trilogy and also enjoy movies such as The Mummy and Tomb Raider (you have to have a girl power movie in there!). I have never been a fan of the space like movies but I did like Stargate (kind of anyway). And then for a little more real (but not really) movies I like the James Bond series.

Television:

Hmm, lets see, on television there (these days) are really not that many good shows but there are a few that I like. I like the murder mysteries like Law and Order and Bones; I like the world travel in Alias, and I also like the reality in House. For comedy I love Friends and Family Guy and will even watch Futurama. For that little kink, I love Nip/Tuck. The shows that I concider to be “mindless entertainment” include The Girls Next Door and Dr. 90210. I think these are just interesting b/c I want to see what they are going to do next!

Books:

Lets see, when it comes to books I am more inclined to read fiction. I have enough real life in my day-to-day life! I am a big fan of Ann Rice’s work and also enjoy Mary-Janice Davidson. I am a sucker for the Harry Potter series and love Sarah Mlynowski for a good laugh. For a little more eroticism Laurell K. Hamilton is the way to go! And then for a little twisted humor David Sedaris is your man.

Heroes:

I don’t know that I have any heroes. I mean this is kind of a vague question, I mean does it mean heroes like people you look up to and aspire to become or does it talk about heroes that did something for you that you consider heroic or does it talk about celebrity heroes?? (not that one could really call a celebrity a hero but I am sure you know what I mean)
