About Me

Wow, I love my life, full of the most phenomenal folks. What a lucky gal I am. I've been appreciating that the less overtly entertaining my surroundings are, the more overwhelmingly beautiful they look. So much so that I can't help but laugh at them, looking around at a party or watching paint dry, or reading my genetics book at 5 am at Burningman, the stimulus center of the world! Anyway, I feel more grateful every second. Let's see, I love fighting forest fires. I love my dogs and my boyfriend. Love being naked. In my wildest dreams I would be a pilot, an engineer, a folk singer (or maybe country), an amazing and totally anonymous break dancer, and a superbly influential poor person. My greatest wish is to always know which choice would have the most positive outcome on everyone involved in a situation, and to choose it even when it means I get screwed. I put energy into stuff that I have evidence for... this is way more efficient than putting energy into stuff you're guessing about. No astrology or spirits. No need to find faces for the stuff I don't understand; I think the world is way more magical than any of us can understand as is. I love directness in communication, not needing much stuff, and giving honest compliments every chance I get.
