I have a great sense of humour. I am talented and funny. I am fit and good looking when you consider odds!

I am sensitive enough to know that my drinking was damaging the lives around me more than it was damaging me.

I have a lot of potential and won't find it at the bottom of a bottle of New Zealand Sauv Blanc. I know this for a fact as have have looked in the bottom of hundreds of them!

I haven't ruined my career yet - and I have a great job. I just lost everything else really so it was just work and drinking left. I am trying to fix that.

The beach and forests near my home, writing blogs and profiles and meeting new people. My friends are great people, most of which I have known for a while. I love people who are kind and smile with their eyes. People who stand up for the rights of others and what they believe.

Cruel people. People who confuse money with worth.

Lots from pop to Rock. You name it really - I like it all. Not mad about R&B.

I just reread Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. I forgot how good they are. Joanne Harris and Anne Rice have always been favouites. There is a book called Dry that I liked as well as another a read recently called Fat Forty and Fired by Nigel Marsh.

Stacks of movies! I cry like a baby in sad movies - it's pathetic. I went to see The Kite Runner recently and blubbed through the entire thing. My friends take me to see sad movies on purpose!

Not drinking. Travel. Snow skiing. Photography.
