Mine is a life less ordinary.

About Me

RANDOM FACTS: I was born in Ecuador. I am 50% English (father), 25% Italian - 25% Spaniard (mother). I get asked a lot what my ethnic background is. I'm a mutt who looks spanish. :-D I love reptiles. One of my pet snakes was used in a National Geographic tv show. (I don't keep snakes as pets anymore.) I can make a dinosaur with my right hand because I'm double-jointed. One time, at band camp, I...(lol just kidding!) ------------------------------------------------------------ --- Hi there. I'm a unique, quirky woman who enjoys a variety of different interests. I enjoy learning and reading about new subjects, especially those related to science, nature, the human body, art and music. I also enjoy philosophy and origami. I'm easy-going and love going out to dinner, going to the movies (only the really good ones), shooting pool, and darts. I'm not so bad with the pool and darts, and enjoy a good challenge - anything that will help me improve my skills.I also enjoy video games. At the moment I'm a casual World of Warcraft player, though I've been known to play FPS, RPG and puzzle games. Technology, gadgets and the latest tech news occupy a fair portion of my surfing time ...Aside from the things that keep me so comfortably settled at home, I also enjoy nature and photography. It has been a while since I spent a lot of time outdoors, but that is something I would like to change. ------------------------------------------------------------ - CONTACT ME: If you'd like to add me as a friend, I would like the courtesy of a message to introduce yourself properly and let me know why you would like to add me. I'm not pretentious or snobby, I would like to know who I am adding. I don't need to be another "friend" on someone's list to simply be one of a collection of many, many brunettes. LOL. Quality connections are worth the time.***

I would like to meet friends - male or female - for activities such as shooting pool and playing darts, to enjoy drinks at the local fun bars, visit the occasional museum, and hit the outdoors for biking, walking, nature exploring.I'm not single. I am in a very happy relationship. I am looking for platonic friendship only. I make a great, loyal and supportive friend, as well as a fun-loving nut to keep around as a side-kick.
