I am a happy person who believes in everyday miracles. I am also a bit goofy and find that these introductory descriptions are somewhat narcissistic, but fun! I am easygoing, but initially may seem serious...this is just a first impression and may come from being a little shy of first encounters. However, my friends like it when I have a few drinks because it brings out my cheeky wild side. I spent most of my 20's with a backpack exploring the world and am a bit skeptical about living in Calgary. People in suits, cowboy hats (well, the straw hippie ones are kinda hot) lots of make-up, big fat wallets, large homes, fast cars, or fake body parts, freak me out. I am an all natural, once tree hugger, in love with the planet, believer in love kind of gal.

my not so favourite...

loud talkers
Couch potatoes - once in a while is ok, but more often than not? Not for me.
bad mergers
shirtless profile people, save that for later
indifference and apathy

What really makes me happy...
dancing like nobody's watching to ridiculously good beats...
sweet live music at an outdoor venue (Pemberton Valley, BC would be my favourite)
having good chats with friends by an outside fire, a few guitars, and some happy juice
road trips to nowhere in particular
relaxing at home watching little ones play
being at peace with the world and taking in the little beautiful moments that could easily be overlooked...

i am in love with life and its beauty, mystery and sadness that can sometimes overwhelm...
but every emotion reminds me to feel thankful for breath and for health.

Cheers to you and your search for love!
