How do you stand out on here? Make claims like "I enjoy wrestling tyrannosaurus rexes with laser-beam eyes on the weekend" (not true to the best of my knowledge, though I have yet to have the chance to find out) or "I was once struck by lightning when I was ten bouncing on a trampoline but it didn't really hurt me" (totally true, believe it or not). I guess what this site has shown me is that you can pretty much write anything here, but until you meet someone, it's hard to tell if you'll get on well or not. So, here's my run-of-the-mill-read-this-and-'know'-me write-up:

I'm an easy-going gal lookin to expand my friendship circle. I should stress this- I am looking for friendship first and foremost. If something grows out of that, so be it, but I'm not pushing for that- I like things to just happen as they happen. I am just a busy busy girl and I don't really do the club thing. I love being outdoors and exploring the world. That being said, I like to relax too- there's nothing better than a cup of tea with a good friend. I am very open-minded and like hearing what others have to say about life. I am also a little crazy, which is what keeps me grounded in this world. Nature and music are both extremely important to me and I spend a lot of time with each every day. My music taste is anything and everything- from ska to celtic to punk to classical- it's all wonderful! I really love to travel as well- been to Korea, Peru, New York, Ireland, England, France, Spain, Italy, and Greece- Hope to continue to add to that list for as long as I can!

A little more:

I am working towards an English Lit major, and I currently have a diploma in general arts and science as well as a script writing and film production diploma. My special area of interest is Gothic Lit- I am fascinated by all that genre has to offer and if I ever get my masters it will be my area of focus. Fitness is extrememly important to me as well. Hiking is an all time favorite activity of mine and I am currently a group fitness instructor and hope to get my personal training certification very soon as well (just one more course for that!) I won't lie, I am a bit of a health nut-I'm vegan and try to only put things in my body that are good for it (not that I don't slip up here and there). oh ya, I also have a few piercings which I am quite fond of. I am creative, spontaneous, fun, musical, silly, caring, thoughtful, adventurous, and most importantly, honest. I think everything would be a lot easier in this world if we just told the truth from the beginning. Also, I believe that everything happens for a reason, so no matter how something turns out, I am thankful for it. This world is so wonderful and I love everything it gives to me each day. I am into meeting interesting, intelligent people who are looking for high-quality relationships (be it friendship or more) so please do not message me if you are looking for less.

One more thing: if you are going to message me, put a little effort into it. A 'hey, how are you?' or 'what's up?' is pretty lame and doesn't pique my interest too much- let's have an actual conversation!

Going for tea first to get to know one another, followed by a walk along the seawall or through a park of some sort. Or wrestling T-rexes. I'm pretty sure I could take one.
