Hmmm, what do I say about myself without sounding conceited? I stand at an impressive 4'10". I always stand by the people in my life. Family and friends are very important to me. I have never cheated on a mate. I believe in telling the truth, even if it hurts. I am even a little quirky.

You will most likely find me roaming through thrift shops looking for odd things to collect dust. One of my most prized possessions is my Phrenology head. I always wanted one after I saw a particular Bugs Bunny cartoon. He wanted to read the bumps on Elmer Fudd's head and hit him on the head with a mallet to read those bumps.

You never have to worry about me picking away at a salad. I barely touch it. That is what food eats. I call salad: "bait". How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a piece of lettuce or a carrot? Don't get me wrong, I do like a good steak with a side order of potatoes and veggies. As my best friend says: "There is always room for all of God's creatures right next to the mashed potatoes."

Warning: I do love chocolate a lot.

I don't play games, including board games. After I hit "Go" in "Monopoly" for the second time, I am ready to quit. I tried to play "Operation", but the poor guy died on me. Noting the time of death was quite difficult to do. The buzzing red nose still haunts me. The heart and mind are not toys.

I am not a damsel in distress, nor do I want to be. I am not looking for a knight in shining armor. I just want a down to Earth kind of man who will treat me with respect and dignity. Someone I can count on. Someone who won't cheat on me and be truthful with me. Someone who values honor and integrity.

Music interests: some disco, hard rock, industrial/goth, and techno/house/trance. I do not like rap, country, and teeny bopper bubblegum pop. I wish I can play a musical instrument, but I will have to settle for pushing the "play" button on my stereo. I like to dance to Abba and rock out to Rob Zombie.

Movies that I like: action/adventure, animated, comedy, suspense/thriller, and sci-fi. You never have to worry about me dragging you to a chick flick. I hated "Titanic"! I want my money back and my 3+ hours back. I have a small DVD collection started. A few of them are: "Sin City", "Reservoir Dogs", and "300".

One of these days I would like to see a sanctuary for piñata animals. It will be a safe haven for them. Too many piñatas are abused daily, it is up to us to save them.

I don't have any pets, but I like animals. I like just about all kinds, even rodents and reptiles. I am thinking of getting a pet rock. It will obey me quite well. "Sit, stay, play dead." It might need some help when I tell it to roll over.

Christmas is fast approaching. For the first time in ten years, I decided to decorate my home. I couldn't find a picture of a Christmas tree to hang on my wall. So I had to buy a small decorative tree to put in the corner. I would have preferred to have a picture of a Christmas tree instead of a tree. O well.

I think meeting at a coffee house will be good. I like the small local coffee houses over big chain ones. They have a better atmosphere over corporate surroundings.
