Meaning of Life:
Well I'm reading Montaigne right now so might get back to this question later with more insight ... :) but IMO ... There is no real 'meaning' other other than to learn to be a better & wiser person along the way; and to squeeze as much joy & pleasure out of life as possible, before we reach the end of the line:)

What I Like To Do For Fun:
Meet new guys:)... Go out for dinner/cinema/drinks... Meet the ex's for coffee in town to gossip and people-watch... read (mostly bio's & memoirs)... occasionally go on internet dates (sometimes with disastrous results, but always good for a laugh)... go for a run/hit the gym - cos it gives me that huge endorphin buzz you just can't beat.
Also, watch movies a LOT... I love indy, horror, psych. thrillers, plus bizarre, off-beat movies, e.g. David Lynch.... also a big fan of foreign movies (particularly French & Scandinavian).

So... pretty much the the opposite to arrogant, cocky and egoistical:)
Turn Ons/Offs:
Turn ons: slow lingering kisses on my inner thighs or neck; my fave porn film Infinite Bliss ...[not recent but STILL totally does it for me]; going out on a date wearing no knickers :); sexy compliments; foot massages; anything involving my nipples:); watching men getting turned on while they watch me (I love cam2cam); mirrors in the bedroom;)
Turn offs: bad manners, arrogance, bad hygiene, people who are narrow-minded & judgemental
