I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I never really know what to put here in these sorts of things, everything always sounds so clichéd. So here goes, I like meeting new people, traveling and seeing new things, trying things that I've never done before, and I'm always intrigued by what makes people tick.

Other vagaries include: music, animals (especially the ones with fur and fangs), chatting with friends, going out for coffee, a movie, music concert etc, 19th Century Gothic literature, staring out the window, linguistic and cultural differences, archaeology & anthropology, ancient history & early civilizations, mythology & legends, anything medieval, rain, singing, catnaps, leather, 16th Century Aztec civilisation, martial arts, plants (and the ever elusive trying to keep them alive), corsets, burlesque, the ever obvious of love and sex (and hoping they stay in that order), Blackjack, chocolate, road trips, caffeine, 18th Century French art, amongst various other things.

I think the two main things about me is that I crave variety and I get off on learning. If I'm learning something new, I'm happy.

Any questions, feel free to ask.
