But I must be flowing liquid diamonds...

About Me

I’m 24, tattooed, Buddhist, & Virgo. I’m kind of a hippie, & a complete jeans & t-shirt girl. I'm a student of life & a free-lance bum. As a Buddhist, I focus a lot on working past attachments and judgments in my life. It isn’t always easy, & I use positivity, an open mind, and meditation to guide me where I can. I believe personal responsibility & motivation for personal growth are healthy & necessary for everyone.
I am usually only moderately talkative in social settings, but I feel deeply creative and passionate beneath the surface. I’m an “idea person,” & I love to make things & create “art;” mostly funky little shrines & collages. I sew a little & do embroidery, & I would LOVE to learn how to spin yarn & weave on one of those huge looms! I also frequently write in journals & use tarot to sort emotions & help make life decisions.
I have been a vegetarian since I was about 9 and would like to work into a mostly raw foods, vegan diet in the near future. I love shopping at health food stores – they smell awesome! I’m learning to enjoy working out, but I really love the mellow stuff, like just walking or hiking (I love camping out!) & doing yoga. If I do yoga just once a week, my practice flows into all the areas of my life. It’s great! I love to read & collect books, & I frequently spend time drinking coffee while scouring bookstores, especially when it’s rainy out. Yard “sailing” & thrifting are my favorite weekend activities. I collect old glass bottles in every color, & faeries, & I’m kind of drawn to anything retro & gaudy, the more ridiculous the better. I'm also building an embarrassingly massive t-shirt collection. I’m an animal-lover & I have a special weakness for the feline persuasion. We have four cats with very different, very distinct personalities, & they make me laugh every day. I spoil them regularly & consider them my "babies," having chosen to live free from the obligation of raising children. I like cleanliness – I actually enjoy organizing stuff & creating neat, fresh spaces in my home that feel sacred & restful. I like plants, flowers, & gardening – my house is full of GREEN, which is also my favorite color :)

This is who I share most of my time with:
Read Dharma Punx, by Noah Levine & if you enjoy it, see Meditate & Destroy, the documentary on his journey, when it comes out! His book changed my life! :) I'm planning to go on one of his retreats soon, if anyone wants to join me!
And also...I like this:
Good-looking, yes, but also incredibly intelligent and spiritual, which are the hottest assets a man can have, in my opinion.

I'd like to meet:

Friends - old & new, and anyone who shares similar interests.

Music:

I enjoy hearing music throughout my day & try to listen with variety – folk, reggae, acoustic rock, classic rock, vintage country, & so on. I am extremely sensitive to music & can be brought to tears (embarrassingly) easily. I'd never make it through an opera. I love great song writers – Kurt Cobain, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchel, Ani DiFranco, Johnny Lang, James Taylor, Johnny Cash, & many more. I LOOOVE my iPod!

Movies:

I love film & I'll watch anything once. I like stuff that kind of...disturbs you, wakes you up a little bit. I've been watching High Fidelity, 50 First Dates, & The Wizard of Oz a lot lately.

Television:

TV is awful, but I do watch Nip/Tuck & reruns of Weeds & Dharma & Greg on occassion.

Books:

I love to read! I'm currently reading everything. I love adbusters.

Heroes:

I respect so many fine folks! Of course Buddha, His Holiness the Dali Lama, Mary Magdalene, Noah Levine (author of Dharma Punx), Ina May Gaskin (famous midwife & author of Spiritual Midwifery & Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth), & all strong, intelligent women, feminists, & midwives. I also respect anyone with the smarts to do their own research on current issues & think for themselves, & anyone willing to take a stand for what is right & good.
