Hello and welcome to my profile!

Now you're wondering, "Why in the world would I read this woman's profile over another one?".

Well, I'm quirky and a little crazy, but I'm sweet. You may read something highly entertaining? haha Here's the info:

Life Aspirations ~
~to visit every continent twice before I'm 30
~to learn Hungarian
~to learn at least 5 languages in my lifetime (I'm at 3!)
~to never stab someone in the back
~to get a job with an NGO that will let me travel the world, while helping ppl
~to not follow the beaten path, and feel great about it
~to always be honest with myself and others
~to get over some of my fears (see list below...)
~to be able to support my family, so they don't have to worry about financial stuff
~to find someone I can share my life with, without losing myself

The me of today:
1. I am an administrative assistant at a small heating/plumbing company.
--I know a fair amount about gasfitting, fireplaces, furnaces, and plumbing supplies. haha
2. I do a lot of volunteering. I'm currently leading a community volunteer group(which takes up SO much time). I also enjoy helping out at a soup kitchen once a month.
3. I love music. Give me a rhythm with some actual talent behind it, and I'm into it! (See music list below)
4. I adore randomness. Forget the planning. Let's meet up somewhere hop in a car (or a bus, since I don't drive...) and go somewhere we've never been before!
5. I am a serious nerd! haha I can sitdown and play video games for hours (with the right ppl). I read thought-provoking books (and some crappy ones), and I am rarely found without a book in my purse. I love musicals and operas. I like walking through museums. And I find ancient cultures extremely fascinating. That generally sums-up my nerdiness. Oh, and I used to be in band, choir, and drama... lol
6. I enjoy going to a great concert with an awesome mosh pit; I like to sit in a coffee shop and talk for hours about nothing and everything; I love walking around Vancouver, and observing how many different cultures we have managed to cram into one space; I actually like spending time with my family, including my grandparents AND my crazy sister; I adore taking the seabus at night; I asbolutely love sitting on a dock in the middle of the night and singing; I like hanging around the ppl that I love, and doing pretty much anything.

Things to note:
1. I'm a vegetarian. Oh! Correction, pescatarian (meaning, I still eat fish and dairy products, but no other animal products)
2. I'm a virgin. I just like to get that one out of the way. No religious reasoning or anything like that, just hasn't happened yet.
3. I have a lot of gay friends. Meaning, if you have problems with homosexuals, we probably won't do so well together.
4. I'll call you on your bullshit. I don't appreciate lying, and I'll tell you, if it's necessary.
5. I am ridiculously caring and helpful. Sometimes to my detriment! haha My friends are my family, and I would do anything for my family.

Well, congratulations! This concludes our tour of my psyche.

Remember: whatever happens, happens, but everything happens for a reason.

As long as we're having fun, who cares what we're doing??
