Ruffian, aka Laura IRL, here. My s/n is rooted in my love for horse racing (Ruffian was a brilliant racemare who died tragically in 1975) as well as its rough-n-tumble suggestions.
28, newlywed of 4 months, living in Southern California.
5’7", dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, fair skin. I’m not overweight, but I’m not where I would like to be. Then again, who is?
Some tidbits of random info, as copied from my web site:
I teach 5th grade to second language learners in a low income area. Insane as this may sound, I truly love what I do.
I’m an animal freak who tries to keep her Pet Habit in check. Currently, we have two cats (see below) and an aquarium. In the classroom, I have a 4’ albino corn snake, Henry, and a parakeet, Lucky (who randomly flew into my classroom during a lesson one day after apparently getting away from his previous owner).
I’m a horse, and horse racing, fanatic. One day I WILL own a horse, but until then, I’ll be restarting riding lessons in the summer.
Speaking of horse racing, I’m friends with the Headleys, who train last year’s champion sprinter Kona Gold. Whenever he runs, we both try to make it out to cheer him on. A web site in honor of this speedy gelding may be going up over the summer.
I hate pink. I hate frilly and froo froo. I hate princessy attitudes, and I hate prissiness. I’m all for being feminine, just not a wuss.
As a result of the point above, planning the wedding was a bit annoying as everyone seemed interested in what I wanted, but not Brian. “It’s YOUR day!” became the most annoying phrase uttered in my presence during this time period. Hello! It’s OUR day!
I don’t have any tattoos, but still fancy the idea. I just can’t stand the thought of a sagging tattoo.
My favorite flower is a gerbera daisy…they’re just so happy!
Second favorite flower is a phalanopsis orchid–although it’s not mutual. They scream, shrivel up, and rot as soon as I bring them home from the nursery.
I’m a wanna-be writer. Well, I am a writer, I’d just like to do it more frequently.
So…there yah go. Pictures, etc, so forth, and so on are at my site (link is in my signature).
