CURRENT MISSION

Making others feel good :)

ABOUT ME

If it helps, I'm apparently choleric. I have lived in a number of countries and cultures, including the USA, UK, Japan, Israel, France, Ukraine.

I'm interested in, and enjoy learning languages. I'm currently learning Russian.

I enjoy ALL senses of humour, so if you're into black humour (British), dark humour and talking about death, racism, or whatever floats your boat then I will find it funny, since the point is, to make a joke and laugh. Very rarely is something funny unless someone or something is belittled in some way. Small point aside, if you can make me laugh, you win brownie points :)

This isn't 'all' since 1) I don't really come across well "on paper" and 2) it's tough to define yourself, and I don't do that from my experiences.

I'm not judgemental, I'm outgoing, enthusiastic, creative, bright, stable, and a bit of a thinker.

The drawbacks could be that I'm a bit recalcitrant, i.e. stubborn, but only where I know I'm right.

PHILOSOPHY

Complicated. Do right.
