About Me


TIME PASSES; LIFE CHANGES...
BLURBS ARE ADVERTISEMENTS! - but I'm less interested in selling than I am exploring & learning. For me the whole attraction of MySpace is that it's an experiment that doesn't involve mice or frogs. I think some of the greatest discoveries take place when people with courage & imagination open their minds, and find a way to fit jagged pieces of the world together.
Honest curiousity and a sense of humor are gifts but they've been in short supply lately, and when you live in a free country you've got a right to expect more. One of my favorite people, writer Sherman Alexie, said it all better than I can:
"...Miles Davis is the direct descendant of slaves and slave owners. Hank Williams is the direct descendant of poor whites and poorer Indians. In 1876 Emily Dickinson was writing her poems in an Amherst attic while Crazy Horse was killing Custer on the banks of the Little Big Horn. I remain stunned by these contradictions, by the successive generations of social, political and artistic mutations that can be so beautiful and so painful. How did we get from there to here?"
Besides that I'm 25; single but in a great relationship I'm hoping can be long term. A recent college grad ( BA in Urban Studies, oh wow). Currently working as a barista & actually like my job - but I'm hoping to make a move to a career in public service eventually.I'm a political independent ( no, I won't donate to your campaign) who believes in preserving civil liberties & empowering people at the local level.
Physically I'm tall for a girl - a little over 6ft - and I like to be active. I' ve been training in Aikido for almost three years now, and also love the outdoors. My trademark feature is probably my long hair; it's auburn color & a little past my knees.I have an offbeat sense of humor and I don't shock easily, but I appreciate classy wit more than I do jackass jokes.
Always open to meeting new friends, and I do flirt - BUT I really do have a boyfriend and I'm not interested in using this or any other site to hook up sexually with guys. Sorry! (This is the disclaimer part of the ad)
