The most important thing to me is good friends and supportive relationships. I enjoy writing, design, and sometimes performing, history research, gourmet foods (both cooking and eating), traveling, theater, opera, musicals, museums, picnics in the park, being silly at times and still knowing when to be serious, really listening to people, careing for and helping those around me. I'm not perfect (I snore for one thing), and I tire soon of those who think they are, or expect perfection from others. My basic motto is, 'We're all in this thing together, so let's make the best of it and help each other as much as we can along the way.' I know who I am and what I want out of life, and I'm very capable of giving and accepting love. I don't dish out attitude and have no patience for it. I'm almost never angry and know there are two sides to every story. And if you don't enjoy hugs and affection, you'd better stay out of my arms reach!
