Hi! My name is Marie. I go by several on-line names, but most
frequently use OctaviasQuest and Delight_of_Hieronymous. I live in
Ottawa, Canada. I was born on July 07, 1962.
THE TWO MINUTE SYNOPSIS:
I don't smoke or drink (much). I drive too fast. I drink too much
coffe. (I wonder if those two are connected?) If you talk too slow,
I'll finish your sentences. I channel surf (it's my remote control).
write WAY too much. When I am tired, I swear like a sailor. I never
get enough sleep. Did I tell you I love milk chocolate? Baci are the
best! Chatting and all the other related on-line addictions have
emerged recently. (grin)
A RULE TO LIVE BY:
He who yearns, dares not, he who dares, yearns not.
(In the game of Truth or Dare, I usually take the dare.)
LOVES/HATES:
I love driving on winding roads by the river, on foggy mornings at 3:00
AM.
I love rainy mornings in bed.
I love the smell of ozone, before, during and after a thunder storm.
I hate it when CDs skip when you're driving on country roads.
I hate getting stuck behind a slow driver who keeps their turn signal
flashing for no apparent reason.
I hate it when people start telling you something, then say "Oh, never
mind".
THE PHYSICAL:
The picture is serving as a placeholder image. It is of me, but was
taken several years ago. I no longer look as young as I did then. I
am
heavier - dayum! My hair is much longer now -- it falls to about my
mid-back. I paint my toenails to match my burgundy lipstick. Oh and
by
the way, I don't have any tattoos or body parts pierced! (Although I
did ponder a bit on getting a nipple pierced but I chickened out.)
PERSONALITY:
I'm a thinker -- overly analytical about most things. I have the sin
of pride about 8000 feet tall. I have a wicked sense of humour. I
laugh easily. I find humour in many things -- some inappropriate. My
moods impact people I am around. One of my mantras is: God is in the
Details. I am extremely loyal and trust people implicitly. It takes a
lot to turn me, but when you do: watch out.
PASTIMES:
I work at a small software company, in the sales area. I am a
reforming
workaholic. Reading, music and films are favourite things. I have a
wide variety of tastes. Different things speak to my soul at different
times. I get restless. When I can't simmer down, I go driving.
Sometimes for 2 and 3 hours ... I like finding country spots, nice
villages and towns -- places to perch in a sunbeam (tea, coffee, chat,
breathe..), go antiquing or through flea markets.
