About Me

Like to have fun but run out of time too often. Live on the wet west coast of Canada. Feel spiritual but not really religious. Pack rat, as in I keep things that have emotional attachments - like things made for me by the kids years ago. While I was raised on bland foods, I like spicy stuff or things that challenge the taste buds. Sushi, curry, garlic, hot Mexican foods top the list. Play hockey (goalie) and want to keep that up for a while still. Lonely sometimes. I REALLY don't like it when some 20-something female sends me a message saying that my profile is hot. That just means they didn't actually look at it - I have and I'm not HOT by young adult standards! I am a bit older than that.

My Interests

I have lots of interests including cameras, computers and photography. All three combine now that I shoot digital. I play hockey still (goalie) and love to play other sports in a friendly way. Code basic html for webpages and help design stuff for people in Photoshop and Indesign. Started doing scrapbook pages.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet someone that wanted to get to know me a bit and be a friend before thinking about a relationship. Been hurt before and still a bit shy. Someone active that would like a friend to share some stuff with. Someone that would get along with my ex's teenagers, as they are the closest thing I have to kids of my own.

Music:

I like most types from classical to alternative. Don't much care for most Country or Gangsta (especially don't like music that talks bad about women as teenage girls have enough trouble without music putting them down more). Like some 60's and 70's stuff like Bowie and the Who, but would go nuts if that was all there was. Latest interesting music is the Mudmen, combining bagpipes with rockin' music.

Movies:

Don't like most movies. I want to come out of a movie feeling happy and entertained. Last two I saw in a theater and liked were; the Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Pink Panther. Saw Nacho Libre on video, with my sister. I hate watching movies alone!

Television:

No cable or satellite so all I get are the 5 channels that come in without any help. Mostly watch news, hockey and CFL.

Books:

Science Fiction, when I can find a good one. Read some Devereel murder-mystery novels last summer - about lawyers, cops and smugglers. Pretty good really.

Heroes:

Gump Worsley (recently deceased) - goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens (traded there from NY Rangers for Jacques Plante - also a hero). Liked him because he was short and stocky (like me) and didn't care how he looked on the ice as long as he stopped the puck.
