You Are An Iris
You are a unique woman who needs a lot of novelty in her life.
An inspiration seeker, you often have to change scenery to recharge.
You don't deal well with structure or rules. You need to do it your own way.
Your ideal relationships are free and flowing. No one can tie you down. What Flower Are You?

You are a Brainy Girl!
Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books.
You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more.
For a girl to win your heart, she's got to share some of your intellectual interests.
An awesome book collection of her own doesn't hurt either! What Kind of Girl Are You?

What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or eve a completely different life.
You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.
You believe that people see you as a bit small and insignificant. People pay more attention to you than you think.
Your near future is all about change, but in very small steps. The end of the journey looks far, but it's much closer than you realize.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul

My Interests

gender bending (see ciara video to the right), survival, rice, the Philippine Islands, listening to/producing music, good but not pompous theater, diels-alder reactions (!), conspiracy theories, my camera, crossing-over (both genetically and in the John Edwardian sense), coastal Maine, sleep and dreaming, Hotlanta, my laptop, indigenous cultures, travel, the piano and its infinite possibilities, Canada Geese, sudoku, tennis, cats, camping, hiking, the woods, lakes, the ocean, Cartoon Noir, foods that complement rice (english translation for ulam, please?), qpoc (especially my queer pinoys/pinays, find me), and burgeoning interests in blogging and plants.

I'd like to meet:

Socially conscious Atlanta queer people of color! Anyone who not only acknowledges divisive, hegemonic structures and the roles we all play to perpetuate them, but who also actively works to combat them in his/her daily life. Being real is of utmost importance, which, in part, means not taking yourself too seriously. Flaws are great! Perfect people are not. With my friend Catheryn, and Former President Fidel V. Ramos of the Philippines.
