Every Minnesotan boy greets the morning with silent baboon shrieks.
Singing, animal compassion (including human animals), freestyle dancing, music-theatre, absurdity, trying to understand existence and my connection to everything, writing, life theatre/hidden camera, drawing, flash acting, hobbit architecture and decor, learning, the metanatural and superphysical worlds, Nautilus Music Theater, chlorophyll, absolute babcock duck, being naked outside, laughing, trading mardi gras beads, Faerie Tales, plants, being in water, watching non-human animals reading, psychology, bending gender, walking a LOT, the euphoric scent of orange blossoms, wild sage, and night-blooming jasmine, fireflies, reading aloud - and being read to, wrestling and tumbling, all the seasons, food - vegan, Indian, Thai, Japanese, kitchen experiments, meditation and mindfulness, hmmm... hound-fire???
I'd like to meet:
I'd love to meet people who are compassionate towards themselves and others, passionate about their loves, curious about why they make the choices they make, and about reality and the nature of existence, people who try to accept stuff without too much judgement, and who try to help out if they can. Also, absurdists, animal rights advocates, writers, creators, other ACAs, dancin' fools, performers, watchers, musical theatre lovers, dorks, rockers, femmes, butches, tomboys, queens, kings, half-schnauzers/half-badgers, or people who don't care about any of this stuff but still want to chat!

And Lionel Z:
Pictures are the essence of your soul, claims volcano-scented salesman, Lionel Z. Take a picture of someone or something, and you own it forever. Lose that picture, and the image is burned into your back with a fake grid iron.
