ABOUT ME

Laid-back, open-minded, eclectic, love a good meal, get excited very easily for anything related to music, have a good sense of humor, not the girly girly type, direct and I expect people to be direct too ... so as long you don't play it shy with me, we'll get along and probably will share a few drinks !
