Leilani

About me:

Don't bother me with impossible perfection. Just give me something which works.

Be warned, I'm fascinated with the dark and the odd. I've got a crudely drawn personality for a girl - 'bit rough round the edges like'.

I spend my time indulging my curiosity - wherever it's wandered today, though it doesn't always make it past the TV :S I like to play with gadgets and learn about how things work. I also enjoy simple pleasures like eating sugary cereal straight from the box. But if I lived every day as if it was my last, I'd never show up to work or do the housework. I really need a 'wife' to do this crap.

When I'm not in my introverted space (singing, venting, reflecting), I like socialising with my friends at their houses, or in my more flushed moments, a pub.

Thoughtful and emotional, I seek out like-minded souls who dodge the disposable ethos.

Sometimes easy going and laid back, other times ambitious and passionate.
Mathematical yet artistic.
Down-to-earth but a dreamer.
Gregarious yet independent.
We all have our contradictions.

'I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.' - The Shawshank Redemption
'Once in a while, you get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right.' - The Grateful Dead
'Every day is a gift, but does it have to be a pair of socks?' - The Sopranos
'The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. And you have burned so very very brightly, Roy.' - Bladerunner
'The only way round is through' - Robert Frost
'The thing with Dickie... it's like the sun shines on you, and it's glorious. And then he forgets you and it's very, very cold. When you have his attention, you feel like you're the only person in the world, that's why everybody loves him so much.' - The Talented Mr. Ripley
You need a living flame to light the fire in others.
'I am man. The world is my urinal.' - a bloke from Hellfest
'Your beauty is boring.' - Quarterlife
'Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up.' - Batman Begins
'If I used my parents as a template, I had no reason to believe a marriage, or a man and a woman, or two people could work. I had seen with my own eyes from a young age that love is painful and sad and lonely and messy. Love brings out the worst in people... But music, my constant companion, would never break my heart or love me too little or destroy anything.' - Juliana Hatfield
Most women try too hard or over-compensate because we're afraid that no one will love us.

'Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.' - Simon and Garfunkel

'Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?' - Simon and Garfunkel (again!)
