[1QuirkyKiwi]

If you “REALLY” knew me…

You’d know that I have a softness and tenacity with an innate clumsiness at times.

I can be Conquering and vulnerable, yet, I’m thoughtful, nurturing, loving, and affectionate and feel things deeply.

I’m very intuitive, instinctual and have non-rational perception of people and situations – this can unnerve some people.

I’m very spiritual, yet, sometime I can be rebellious (within the law).

I’ve lived and worked in 36 countries in 20 years.

Despite working in the Funeral and Mortuary Sciences, I’m the least morbid person you’ll meet!

I’m a former Para-Olympic Swimmer.

I’ve had a phobia of Clowns since early childhood, yet, I’m OK! around Mimes.

I love fruit and could happily eat it all day……..I swear I was a Fruit Bat in a previous life.

I always sleep with the hall light on as I’m afraid of the dark.

I don’t own a TV and haven’t done for years, although I watch DVDs on my laptop.

I have to tone down my accent so people can understand me when I speak (this does not include fellow Kiwis or my family).

I love working and making things with my hands.

I’m a loyal and supportive friend unless you do something to hurt me, then I’ll have nothing more to do with you.

I say what I feel/think and this has been taken as me being hurtful unintentionally.

I can and do have a fiery temper when pushed too far!

I love and adore my furbabies – in fact all animals - I take in unwanted, abandoned and neglected animals.

I love sitting and feeding Swans – I’d love a Swan sanctuary.

I’m not judgmental, yet, I am observational about people and their habits.

I believe everyone has a right to their feelings and no-one has the right to tell you otherwise.

I love silly, playful banter and I’ve been known to play practical jokes on people when they least expect it!

If you "REALLY" knew me, you'd know that this is just a little of who I am.
