I'd like to meet:


Kindred spirits, and fun, adventuresome, free thinking, compassionate, learners of life. I find most people have an intersting story to share, if you take the time to listen. I tend to avoid mean-spirited people. Life's too short to deal with that.

Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Star card. The Star is the light of hope. Shining in the night, sending light into darkness, the stars provide direction to sailors and are a field on which to dream. Humanity used to look up at the sky and desire to be there, to find out what it all meant, and now we have been a distance into space and have elementary ideas of the makeup of all the different stars. This kind of achievement adds further fuel to our hopes. The eternal, slow-moving stars that will be long shining past the end of our own existence provide hope of immortality, and the vast space they suggest and the very mystery they hold provide us with excitement and knowledge yet to be discovered.
