I was going to check out who was swimming around here before I took the plunge... There I was, just taking my soxies off to test the water... and suddenly the PoF Profile-Meister appeared!

Apparently I have to add more as I'm too short - I mean, what I've written is too short. (ok, I'm short)

Since I'm told I have to bare all (so to speak) then I can tell you that I enjoy being around people and socialising as much as I enjoy my time alone. I'd love to have a special person in my life, but I don't NEED to have one for my life to be happy.

One thing I intend to do again soon is to take some dancing lessons. I do tend to forget to behave and let the man lead ~ sorry guys, but the music just takes over and off I go!

Going to a Canucks game would be amazing ~ especially if someone can guarantee that they'll win! The Giants game I did go to was an absolute blast!

Last year I finally got myself a Vancouver Art Gallery membership ~ almost wore it out going to the Monet to Dali and Georgia O'Keeffe exhibits, let alone the others after those! I also love live theatre and music, but have hardly been to any events of this kind for ages. Many of my friends are now too far away/too broke/not interested or too 'married' to go, and somehow I prefer not to go to shows/concerts on my own. Who is there to chat about it with or to reminisce with in years to come?

Soooooo....having said that being alone is ok by me and then pretty much totally contradicted myself...

The person I'd like to meet would be someone who is 1000% trustworthy, has a sense of humour without being the class clown, knows where he is going in life,(or at least knows that he is going somewhere in life) and has had to deal with enough of the bad stuff to understand that life isn't necessarily all sunshine and lollipops. I do need someone who is capable of having a real conversation, and who has some depth to him without being scarily intense. Personal accountability, respect for others, and integrity are essential traits as far as I am concerned.

If you are ready to stop living and vegetate in front of the TV, we probably won't have very much in common, no matter how nice you might be. Nor we will get along if you are extremely religious. As far as I can tell, organized religions have caused more violence and murder than anything else in the history of mankind.

I'm supposed to tell you my dislikes? Well, trying to find parking and having to pay for it stresses me out. So does doing my taxes. And being around exceedingly negative or unnecessarily aggressive people is draining. Actually, being negative or aggressive IS unnecessary.

Hmmm... well now, according to the PoF Profile-Meister it's time to rummage in my secret file to find a half-decent pic to post! Oh, wait, the rules say I have to be completely decent in my picture. (Most of my pics got lost on my old, deceased laptop, and may never be found again) RIP Incriminating Evidence. You are missed... So there goes my evil plan to blackmail all my family and friends and retire on the proceeds. Time to implement Plan B ~ an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Darn. Foiled again.

OK, if that's not 'tall' enough now, I'm a monkey's uncle! (EeeehEEEEhhh Eeeeeeh)

Chat over a coffee and if we get along, maybe take a stroll and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean. Nothing too 'heavy' ~ the first meeting is just that. We can see how we get along and if we do, then I guess we will arrange to meet again!

Now...the SECOND date ~ THAT'S where we can start to get more creative and imaginative and decide whether to go to a restaurant, theatre, pitch and putt, hardware store, (just checking to see if you were still paying attention) or be 'tourists' and check out the local attractions.
