IM GOING TO BE AWAY FOR AWHILE

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator I'm really into all things that concern art/imagery/music & Poetry. I'm little in dimension, but I am strong in the way that I can handle strife and struggle and make it a learning experience... I'm a curious person, sometimes abit mischievous as well. But never "evil" being that I harm others. My last name means "Cat" in German. But I'm not German. (Although they can be fun. *sigh*)Recently told someone about my Favourite flower - Daisy. Makes me grin - I'm still a Kentucky-ite to the core. Just keep me FAR away from Whiskey. Or I will Multiply.

My Interests

Music - Reading, Films, Industrial Design, Doing Freelance Hair and Photo/Graphic Design. I collect Records of all genres, and am quite passionate about them, so no stacking! I like to sew and restyle old clothing and paint. Alittle of everything really.

I'd like to meet:

People who will rock me at chess (Novice players welcome, I have several settings of difficulty), People to play music with, People who wear corduroy, People who aren't afraid of TRUTH. One who will hold my attentions instead of making me feel hopelessly adrift. People who enjoy tea and a good book. Those who really LIVE through their means. I believe even a poor man can be luxuriating and complex.
