About me:
I'm just your average girl, except I talk a lot
and I'm kinda strange. I like making people laugh,
I enjoy the Walking Dead. Whenever I find that
Detective Conan is on, I watch the episode. I
enjoy learning odd trivia no one is really
interested in since I am of the opinion that it's
the details that matter. I think basketball is the
best ever, and I love video games. |
Interests:
Writing, reading, video games, theme parks, basketball. |
Favorite Music:
My favorite is any kind of rock (Bump of Chicken, The Used, The Fray, Rascal Flats, like one or two songs of Bon Jovi, etc.) But I listen to a wide variety of genres. Music is pretty wicked. |
Favorite Book(s):
War & Peace, Heidi. |
Favorite Movie(s):
Whisper of the Heart |

respects and accepts others. Also, funny. |
About the penpal I'd like:
I'd love to find friends on here to practice

English so if you need help with that, I'm totally
up for it. I don't mind if you're a native or not,
just that you can speak the language well. よろし
くお願いします！

About me:
Intellectually curious, Skeptic, Secular
Humanist, Atheist. I have a conservative life
style but very liberal values.
Into heavy conversation but willing and able
to goof around.
Presently in full mid life crisis, wondering
where it all went wrong and hoping to turn
things around before my body falls apart and
the earth reclaims it. I'm really not as
depressed as these last words would indicate
but I am sometimes angry with myself for
wasting my potential.
[ Edit section ]
Requests
I am looking for NON RELIGIOUS friends with
similar interests and values for in depth
exchanges and lasting friendships. If you are
into astrology, numerology, tarot cards, mind
reading, palm reading, astral voyages, ghosts,
spiritual healings or anything that falls under
the umbrella of pseudo science, mysticism, the
occult or the supernatural, we probably won't
get along.
I am seeking female friends only.
Exceptions may be made in the case of gay or
trans individuals (seriously). In any case, my
goals is to develop deep friendships but I am
not interested in anything of a romantic or
sexual nature. My marriage is complicated
enough as it is.
I prefer people with college or university
education because I enjoy discussing academic
topics but I am open minded. I understand that
there are people who are curious, insightful
and articulate without necessarily having an
advanced formal education. (I apologize if
that sounded snotty).
I welcome people from all countries including
my own (as long as you fit the above criteria)
but Australia is my dream country and I have a
thing for France because it is my ancestral
home.
[ Edit section ]
Language Exchange Requests
I am not interested in a language exchange. I
am looking for people who are fluent in English
or French.

Hobbies & Interests
Although I don't have a pure science background
and only a moderate social science backgrounad,
as i get older I am increasingly drawn to the
sciences and I often wish that I had taken a
scientific career path
I am also interested writing and reading. What
I most like to read and write about are medical
or scientific topics. I also enjoy writing
about film (particularly documentary film) .
I have this really odd interest in venomous
animals, particularly snakes. I don't think
they are cute and I have no interest in owning
one as a pet but they are fascinating animals
to study.. miniature pharmaceutical units and
mobile bio-weapon labs.
I am a person who knows a little about
everything but not a whole lot about any one
thing in particular. I always wished that I
would become an expert at something but it was
not to be.
I am in awe of people who have knowledge and
skills far beyond my reach.
I always wanted to travel abroad and I hope I
get to some day. I did travel to the United
States but have never left the north american
continent.
[ Edit section ]
Favorite Music
I enjoy different styles of music from
different periods but I can't say that it
defines me so I don't really see the point of
listing them. I enjoy music but I am a not
music buff and I would say that lyrics probably
matter more to me then the music itself (within
limits).

Favorite Books
I read mosty non fiction Richard Dawkins,
Christopher Hitchens, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov
are among my favorites. I also like to read
about specific people or events. I focus on one
and go into investigative mode, trying to get
my hands on everything that will give me a
thorough perspective.
I also love a good biography. The last
biography I read was that of Dr. Joe Slowinski,
prominent expert on Asian vipers, who died
following a fatal snake bite in the jungle of
Mayamar.
I also greatly enjoyed the biography of Dr.
Keith Black..brilliant neruo surgeon.
One of the books I most enjoyed in the past few
years was The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard
Dawkins.

Favorite Quotes
Evil is unspectacular and always human,
And shares our bed and eats at our own table.
-- W.H. Auden
What can asserted without evidence can be
dismissed without evidence.
-- Christopher Hitchens
By all means, let's be open-minded. But not so
open-minded that our brains drop out.
-- Richard Dawkins
The universe is monstrously indifferent to the
presence of man
-- Werner Herzog
The individual has always had to struggle to
keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If
you try it, you will be lonely often, and
sometimes frightened. But no price is too high
to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
Inside every cynical person, there is a
disappointed idealist.
-- George Carlin
Almost all our suffering is the product of our
thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our
lives lost in thought, and hostage to the
character of those thoughts. You can break this
spell, but it takes training just like it takes
training to defend yourself against a physical
assault.
-- Sam Harris
"Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others
do is because of you. What others say and do is
a projection of their own reality, their own
dream. When you are immune to the opinions and
actions of others, you won't be the victim of
needless suffering."
- Don Miguel Ruiz
"When people show you who they are, believe
them... the first time."
- - Maya Angelou
People are not against you, they are for
themselves.
-- unknown
The real art of conversation is not only to say
the right thing at the right time, but also to
leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting
moment.
-- unknown
It is better to remain silent and thought a
fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
-- unknown
You shouldn't set yourself on fire to keep
someone warm
-- unknown
There is no psychiatrist like a dog licking
your face
-- unknown
Most people will never die because they will
never be born
-- Richard Dawkins |
