About Me

friendly & easy-going. fun-loving. compassionate. tree-hugging. geeky-ish. warm smile. dirty mind. prone to irrepressible bouts of laughter. inclined to favor quality over quantity. have a deep, abiding respect and appreciation for diverse cultures. no hang-ups.
admittedly, i couldn't care less if you're green, white, blue, pink, polka-dotted, horizontally-striped, gay, lesbian, straight, bi-sexual, etc. labels are so passe, silly, so unnecessary... tolerance and respect is the operative. y'know? ...just leave the labels on canned goods where they belong, gosh darn-it! :-)
um, what else about me? hmmm... i'm originally from the west coast (california), and i transplanted to new york city about 13+ years ago. by trade, i'm a classically trained cellist, and i also work as a writer. i have a partner that i've been euphorically dovetailed to for the last 5Â½ years. he is simply my gravity... foundation... raison d'Ãªtre... my resonance.
oh yeah... are you also dreaming of a sanctuary where we can all take refuge from the deluge of dubyah's incessant stupidity? help save the environment and re-plant a bush in texas.
tree-huggers of the world unite! :-)
