Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

About Me

I am a realistic idealist. The idealism in me gives hope that there is something better to come. The realistic side doesn't let my hopes get too high.I tend to be too stubborn for my own good. I don't like being the first one to say sorry. I wish I had the guts to say sorry first more often.I'm generally full of contradictions. I'm intense and serious, but I love to laugh. I'm a big fan of irony, and most often I find humour in terrible situations that I would cry over otherwise.I'm a nerd. I wish I was truly a smart nerd so that the nerdiness could be of some use, but alas, that's not the case and I'm left with way too much information while watching Jeopardy and the X-Files and believing in conspiracy theories.I love a lot of things openly and fully like trees and flowers and cows, but it can take a lot for me to trust another human - at least to the point where I'll admit that I need them.I'm independent. I love my time alone and don't mind doing a lot of things by myself. I do actually like people though. And, in the right moments, I love to talk and make people laugh...which happens often.I love to be outside. Whether hiking or swimming or bike riding or even just laying on the grass reading a book, it tends to be more relaxing than anything else I can think of. I really want a hammock that I can sleep in - with a mosquito net - overnight. I like hammocks.I am a passionate person. I care a lot about a lot of things and love to analyze society's ills. I have to remind myself to not take other's problems on as my own often and the result tends to make me feel a little cold hearted. I truly believe there is balance between responsiblity and compassion and one of the best things we can do in life is to teach others to not only take care of themselves, but to get involved in helping others. It's in helping people that our own problems tend to look not so important.My goal in life is to make an impact in the world. Whether small or big, I want to make a difference. I want to believe that I am here for a reason.

My Interests

Books. Nature. Life. People. Photography. Poetry. Art. Dreams. Animals. Trees. Starbucks. Plants. Learning. Living.

I'd like to meet:

The Tree Keeper from Lord of the Rings. Corny, but he has a great story teller voice. Also Peter from the Bible. That guy cracks me up and reminds me so much of me sometimes.

Music:

There is just so much to choose from! There are some great songs in life, though the artists are so-so and it depends on my mood usually whether I really like it or not. But I would have to say some of my top artists are Radiohead, The Cranberries, Dave Matthews Band,Sigur Ros, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnson, Led Zeppelin, Damien Rice, Sarah McLachlan, Kate Havnevik, Brandon Heath... I think that's enough for now ; )

Movies:

Love Actually, The Invisible, The Bourne series, The Matrix Triology, Mary Poppins, Lord of the Rings, The Sound of Music, Little Miss Sunshine, In Bruges, Garden State, V for Vendetta...

Television:

Scrubs. The Soup. Jeapordy. Law and Order (SVU). Friends.

Books:

Jane Eyre. I tend to stick with authors over books...Henning Mankell is a favorite right now. Sophie Kinsella, James Thurber, Shirley Jackson, Dee Henderson and Carl Heissen are some others... Poets are pretty great too! Edgar Allan Poe (his stories are a bit freaky, but his poems are wonderful) and Pablo Neruda are favorites.

Heroes:

Anne of Green Gables. She might not be real...but I have sure learned a lot from her fictional life.

My Blog

I hate getting sick - but who really doesn't?  Anyways, I hate the draining not, feeling good aspect.  I'm not as luminous as usual (good adjective huh?)  Yeah.  So.  Ugh. But...

Politics...again

I watched John McCain's acceptance speech last night.  And it was depressing. Amazingly, I was left with the feeling of hopelessness from his message.  And it started with his declaration t...

huh

It helps when I start to move in some clouded auto-pilot.  Honestly I should be so stressed I can't function.  And maybe that's my clouded auto-pilot.  It's me not really functioning.&n...
