 Age/Sex:
32/Female


 Birthplace/Livingplace and feelings about same:
Born in Brisbane (Queensland, Australia). Living in Toowoomba (2 hours west
of Brisbane). I'd be out of here faster than you could take your next breath
if the opportunity arose.

Married for 10 years next month to my best friend. 2 kids (almost 4 year old
boy, and an almost 9 year old girl), 2 cats (Isabeau, black short haired and
Teddy, grey fluffy).

vaguely bohemian


 Words friends have used to describe you:

verbal abuse of the machine.
