Wellington, New Zealand
About Me
It's all about me really. Sarcastic, impetuous, calculated, lively, reserved, spontaneous, witty, intelligent, sombre, egotistical, modest, live-wire, thrill seeking, reflective, contradictory, balanced, humourous, opinionated, charming, focussed, enigmatic, passionate, calm, outgoing, city dweller, beach sloucher, snow lover, night clubber, myspace junkie, music addict,
You'll love me or hate me, there's no middle ground. No-one I know has ever had a "nuetral" reaction to me.
Enjoying my life and my passions is my drug, be it music, driving, skiing, my career, or just slouching on the beach and watching the day go by with a good book and a beer.
I live life to the full, and enjoy the finer things in life. Good food, fine wines, and above all having fun. And beer, lets not forget beer.
Enjoy my music, with a diverse range of tastes. Enjoy going out on the town with friends and partying it up.
Enjoy "social" sports, skiing, rollerblading, rock climbing. Have a taste for extreme sports - bungy jumping, want to try sky diving at some point, but anything with an adrenaline rush is all good.
I definitely have a left field sense of humour, so try to not take yourself to seriously.
I'm Looking For
