I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have been repeatedly ridiculed and berated for not having an up-to-date MySpace profile...I find that sad and pathetic...On both ends...So here is a new profile...

The words the happy say/Are paltry melody/But those the silent feel/Are beautiful ~ Emily Dickinson

That poem pretty much sums up a large chunk of how I see the world. I often get lost in silence. Not the reflection that usually accompanies the silence. Just the moment[s]. It can get me in some trouble, but if you know me at all, you understand it.

There are many things that I am afraid to admit about myself. There are many that I am not. For example:I love the cold side of the pillow I love to use ellipses and brackets instead of commas and parentheses I can be witty...though my wit is rather dry and heavy on the sarcasm...two things which don't go together so well...

Oh...and I want to be a nurse...The application is in and now I'm just waiting... ... ...

My Interests

Cooking--I was raised in the South and good food is a must. Sweet tea, cornbread, macaroni and cheese, beans (green or otherwise), chicken, you name it and I'll make it.

Soul
Mexican/Latino
Asian
etc.

Reading--Suggestions always welcome [English or Spanish]

Random car rides

Hiking

Sleeping

Theologies/Theories/Accounts of Lived Religion

The Bodhisattva Complex

religion-

I'd like to meet:

Religious leaders...past and present....Including, but not limited to, founders of world religions and their 'established' viceroys here on earth...

Crunchy/Granola lovers of the earth and life who don't necessarily look like it

OH...and Salma Hayek...definitely Salma Hayek

[*Note: please message me or know me if you want to add me as a friend...there is a reason it is called a 'Friends List'...I know that sounds terribly lame, especially on the profile, but friendship is not something I take lightly...]

Music:

Honestly, anything except male vocal jazz...
