I can't Describe my self... - Carrie Cordeiro
I'm a social butterfly, a pseudo-geek, a film buff, a litwank and a smart ass. I'm convinced that life is too short for it to not rock every moment, and strive to make fun things happen as often as possible, and I like to include as many of my friends as I can in the goodnesses. Some of my favorite words are sloth, uvula, lascivious, facetious, undulate. I am easily amused, but I think that's a good thing. - Lindsay

Okay maybe not but just read with an open heart if you have one please. - Marilyn Thomas
100% boring music snob. - Ken
I like alternative music, partying, independent films, concerts, dining out and other cool things. My two passions are cutting edge indie rock music and progressive politics, and I follow both subjects to the extreme. I love Britpop, Indie rock, indie pop/twee, shoegazer and New Wave 80s music. I am as liberal politically as they come and I HATE George W. Bush. Some of you may have seen me on the television show Blind Date, which I was on 5 times during the 2004-2005 season. - Sunil Khanna
Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. - Marty

Finally at a stage in my life to where I know who I am, what I want, what works, and what doesn't. I'm comfortable in my own skin, artistic, resilient, decidedly unpretentious and down to earth, exceptionally strong yet retain my femininity, intellectual but will turn into a pile of goo at the mere mention of my favorite cartoon or a kitten. - Gina
