Kirahere, 56

laughter is better than godliness I am the ultimate in oxymorons... A hyper-responsible irreverent impulsive pragmatic optimist with a sense of humor that needs to celebrate the inane nonsense of Sponge-Bob or the cerebral humor of a Shakespeare comedy. I think life is too short not to stop to smell the roses, the garlic bread, the chocolate brownies,.. Life should be about finding the happiness - every cloud may not have a silver lining, but if you don't let a little gray sky get you down, a walk in the rain isn't a bad thing. When you are happy, skipping should a definite possibility (& if that silver-lining-less cloud comes back, just skip in the rain).
I love being with people who are excited about what they do and proud of who they are. For me, shyness is not an option - I don't need to be the center of attention, but I want to, at least, be in the middle of the commotion.
I love to dance & am just as happy waltzing, salsa-ing, or making a silly-fool of myself on a club floor. I can't stand cigarette or, worse, cigar smoke and I don't drink.
I am an atheist, but I love to celebrate the secular & human side of holidays. I have a definite belief in right & wrong and will not tolerate bigotry, racism, or hurtful humor… but a little quiet cattiness can be great fun.
I love to travel & to explore something new & different, but I can stay home & play a mean game of gin, too.
I like playing sports, even though I'm usually awful. I love to dance swim, skate, and I was the monkey-bar champion as a kid. I'm not horrible at tennis, but if I have to run for the ball, the ball usually wins & I'm usually laughing too hard at my mistakes to care.
I will stop moving for movies (if you know who the Thin Man is, it’s a plus)the occasional cuddle around the tv or a game of backgammon.
I believe brains are far more important than looks, but I work hard to look good. I believe in good manners, good grammar (I am an admitted grammar snob), & good humor (the ice cream AND the attitude).
