I am here for Friends

About Me

I feel lucky to live so close to the ocean and bay and fog and moss and ferns and so many big trees. I tend to be shy around people who impress me. I am good at making my fears and dreams come true. Growth, change, and clear honesty inspire and scare the nonsense out of me. I am a scorpio; if you know anything about scorpios, that says a lot.

likes: acquired tastes, flowers, sunday night dinners, ripe fruit, friends, eye-smiles, hugs and kisses, long walks, woodsy smells, nice people.

dislikes: gimmicks, apathy, cat haters, ulterior motives, addiction, driving in parking lots, vampirism.
