Okay, First things first. If you don't like reading you may just want to move along now. If you are not intimidated by my extremely long profile than please continue. And yes I am aware of how long it is, so if you are planning on messaging me to inform me of this, well I've got news for you I wrote it so I already know.

My name is AJ. Well, about me? I just moved down to Vancouver Island from Grande Prairie, Alberta. I am really enjoying it here so far. I would really like to get to know some people down here since I know practically nobody (and it would save me a fortune on long distance if I didn't have to dial to Alberta every time I want to have coffee with a friend).

I am a very laid back, easygoing type of person. I like to enjoy the finer things in life. Quality time with friends and family is key. I have not had the road to happiness paved for me in life, but what can I say, life is hard no matter which way you try and spin it. The only thing that matters in life is what you make of it. I try to be optimistic in all situations because no matter how bad things in life get, they can always get worse.

Very open-minded! I will try anything at least twice. You can never judge something the first time you try it, circumstances change as well as people. I like to think that I am constantly changing and growing. Learning about life and about yourself is something that should not be taken for granted. I have been rediscovering myself and it's been quite an interesting journey that I hope will never end. I'm a very happy-go-lucky, bubbly, fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl. I can be shy at times, or very outgoing and talkative other times (a couple of glasses of wine will bring me right out of my shell...LOL).

I am quite opinionated. I believe that everybody should voice their opinion. Quite often I tend to be rather sarcastic, even when I'm not trying to be. I am very honest and trustworthy. I don't generally beat around the bush about...well anything really. Oh, and just like in my old headline "I can't stand stupid people." HAHA, I know that must sound really mean but there is nothing worse than a person that is intellectually challenged and only relies on their good looks and arrogance to get through life. What is the point in dating only for a person's looks I mean in the end we are all going look the same anyway. I want to find somebody that I can have stimulating conversations with even when I'm eighty years old.

RESPECT
This is not something that I just give away like ummmm...lollipops or my warped version of balloon animals. It is important to me to give and receive respect from people. I work hard to earn it and believe that if you want it you need to earn it too. I do not like rude, or insulting people that are mean just because they can be. Some of the things in my profile may be offensive to some people (I apologize in advance) but that is life and you can't please everyone. I'm just trying to be honest and sincere so that there are no false "hopes" or impressions.

*****WARNING******
DO NOT READ ON IF YOU ARE A SENSITIVE SOUL AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE EASILY HURT
I'm not going to sugar coat things to sound nicer because....well honestly I'm not that nice
I'm just trying to express myself not have anyone end up slitting their wrists or anything. (I know I'm quite morbid but what do you expect from someone who enjoys hanging around cemeteries for fun). :)

***AND IT BEGINS***
If you have half naked pictures of yourself pasted all over your profile because of how "hot" you think you are...you might as well keep on truckin'. I'm not interested! FYI-If you are at a beach that is appropriate but if you are in your bedroom giving the camera bedroom eyes (trying to be seductive and all), well now that's just plain creepy.

Drinking and driving pictures aren't cool either. Just for the record. If you drink and drive YOU MUST BE A REAL WINNER!!!! (yeah that was sarcasm just so you know...very angry sarcasm)

Oh and by the way grammar is important to me so if you don't know how to spell it at least GOOGLE it and spell it correctly. And if you are intentionally spelling things wrong, I don't even WANT to talk to you. Not to mention bad manners and poor "N-ETIQUETTE"!

I don't do drugs, period. If you are a heavy alcoholic or a drug user (pot included) we probably will not get along. In fact I know we will NOT get along. I don't tolerate dependency issues.

IF YOU SURVIVED MY MINI RANT THEN YOU ARE ACES IN MY BOOK

Now let's get back to the matter at hand (finding my price charming)
Word of advice:
"If you kiss a frog hoping to find your prince, you are only going to be left with bad memories and slime in your mouth."

WHO I AM LOOKING FOR

Smart, outgoing, attractive, funny, and charming, are kinds of characteristics I look for in a man...My biggest physical attraction to a man would have to be his teeth and eyes... I do have to admit that I am a sucker for a man with big brown eyes. And being rugged and outdoorsy wouldn't hurt either (wink, wink)...but keep in mind that I also do appreciate a man that can clean up once in a while. I love to go two-stepping (and apparently that's not heard of down here) so if you do to that's an added bonus! I went out down here once and watched a couple trying to two-step and it was really awkward and painful....LOL :-P

Turn off-somebody who wants to jump into bed with a girl after just meeting them. No thank you! I am an old fashioned kind of girl (strong beliefs and morals), I like to get to know a person and find out what they are truly about and what their intentions are. And if you are just looking to get "LUCKY", buy a lottery ticket your odds are better.

I'm looking for friends indefinitely. Ultimately I am hoping to find "the one" (HAHAHA).....cheesy I know, but that's why most people are on here....even though they don't want to admit it. It's called denial, okay....just admit that you're looking even if just to keep your options open.

I am comfortable in my own skin and I can keep myself entertained, looking for a man that has a similar personality. I don't require anyone to make me feel complete, I am me and I accept me as myself. I don't depend on anyone. I have always been very independent body and mind. I am not afraid go against the grain with my thoughts and opinions. It makes discussions and conversations that much more interesting.

In my experience I've learned that people are only human and will always disappoint you or let you down at some point in time. If being in a relationship means sacrificing my individuality or my happiness I'd rather not. I have a tendency to be quite standoffish with men and I also am known to wear my heart on my sleeve(go figure). Bye for now.

Well let's be realistic here.

Perhaps a coffee or a casual drink. Engage in some light hearted, witty conversation. Then maybe we could go for a walk or just go people watching.

P.S. I am usually the predator in most of my relationships. I want it, I get it. It usually turns out that I pick the "bad apple". I don't know maybe I'm just a loser magnet. But if you are not a complete psycho, jerk, spaz, deadbeat dad or sadist...I would love to hear from you.

If we are messaging one another and this just isn't your cup of tea, I can take it, just say "Oh, I don't think things should go any further. Happy fishing". I'll be kind enough to do the same so we are not wasting each others time. Thank you and have a great day.

If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
