I try to be honest with everyone I talk to and I expect the same in return. I HATE head games!!! I'm pretty direct and hate having to read between the lines. I do think laughter is one of the most important things in life and I can even laugh at myself. If it's funny, it's fair game! I'm pretty career focused, value friends and family so much, and enjoy beign around them. Friends tell me I'm level-headed and a great listener. I believe I'm just down to earth, sincere, and normal. I'm fairly shy by nature around people I don't know, but warm up quickly Once I get to know people though. I'm very much an outdoors kind of girl....I love the water--being at the sea or lake;in the country, boating or swimming....I love to travel, though I've not been fortunate to have visited a lot of countries and places as I would have wished to. I love all kinds of music (except perhaps rap, hip-hop, and heavy death metal) I have a somewhat eclectic taste in music - it all depends on what mood I'm in (or want to be in)... I enjoy movies; thrillers, suspense and Sci Fi and some comedies too. I enjoy a spontaneous road trips, romantic dinners, a brisk hike (but not rock climbing)...just hanging, listening to live music, etc...I am very laid back and tolerant of others who are different from me. I'm looking for someone who has a positive outlook on life, and shares similar desires and fantasies for friendship and fun. I'm looking to build a solid friendship first, and then take it up from there, if the chemistry is right!Strength, determination, loyalty, and Love.~*~And you can be sureThat what may look like,"Tough"There is "Softness" there too!And more times than not,A Heart of Gold
