I'd like to meet:

Passionate people. Pensive and ponderous people. People who dedicate time to helping those less well off than themselves. People that have travelled and want to share stories. People that want to make a difference in the world (no matter how small). In other words, those people who never stop asking questions about the world and themselves, and are always open and willing to change.
Your Personality Profile
You are dreamy, peaceful, and young at heart.
Optimistic and caring, you tend to see the best in people.
You tend to be always smiling - and making others smile.

You are shy and intelligent... and a very hard worker.
You're also funny, but many people don't see your funny side.
Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches. The World's Shortest Personality Test
You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies .. and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

Music:

World music, Indy music & New Zealand music. Not popular generic mush. I like a cross section of music, from Reggae, Electronic (Dub, D&B, Jungle, Trip-Hop, Down Beat, Psy, House, Funk, Lounge), Hip-Hop, Ambient to Indy Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Punk, Acoustic, Folk, Soul, Latin, Jazz, Tribal, Post....Not going to name drop... But there is far too much beautiful music out there to listen to regurgitated music fresh from the pop-machine. Anything that combines expression, rhythm, artistic flare and heart.

Heroines that have been left out of "his-story" and their spiritual and intellectual knowledge....and of course, my Mum.Above: Photos from my life in Mexico."The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things. In spite of all these uncertainties, I feel a solidarity underlying all existence and a continuity in my mode of being.", C. G Jung's bio "The world into which we are born is brutal and cruel, and at the same time of divine beauty", Jung"If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, its because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion." A. Huxley, Perennial Philosophy.
