I'd like to take a moment to say something to the dudes who add girls so they can have some collection of hot chicks for friends on their profiles (to look cool? competing with their friends? showing off?): I will not add you. This is one of the things I most hate about MySpace. We both know that if you click on that add button then it's only because of my picture and not because you were dazzled by my wit.
That said, this is probably a waste of text because the kinda guys I'm writing to here don't seem to read profile text. *sigh*
Hmmm... What about me? What I like and who I am:
Men who look like warriors and move like tigers but have eyes like poetry, women who inspire those around them with their posture alone but break hearts when they dance, people who are brave and sincere, people who know of other languages and cultures and are willing to share their knowledge with me, old books and photographs, music that I have to fall into, paintings that make my heart tickle with joy, fireflies in the Midwest on a humid summer night, fireworks, playing with fire, photographing life and making little bits of my perspective stick around, dancing, reading, writing, making jewelry, making clothes, making stuff, making out, making love, making friends, going to school, going places on my bike, going out with adventurous people, going on road trips, going out on limbs, Burning Man, raves, music, beautiful women, beautiful men, beautiful hearts, beautiful minds, beautiful words, bellydance, firedance, tattoos, dreadlocks, braids.

My ultimate goal is to be a point of emanation for honesty and joy. I want to put love and beauty into everything I touch, and I want to be strong enough to be strong when those around me need it most. I'm the kind of person who never quite gives up the idea that I can be friends with someone, even if that person snubs me or ignores me or makes me angry. I'm also the kind of person that can aim very accurately at her mouth with her foot and get it in there almost every time. This shouldn't be taken to mean that I tolerate bullshit--I don't do that very well at all.
So if you're reading this and you're thinking to yourself that I've left you a few voice mails, or called while you were eating dinner, or I emailed you something stupid, then just know that it's because you mean something to me.
I dance all the time, I sing random songs at surprising times, I can do the meanest animal noises you've ever heard, and I often swear during otherwise-polite conversation.
This is me. And if I left you a message, call me. I love that kinda stuff.
Things I miss about the Bay Area: the dance community, Ocean Beach, my friends, Muir Woods... I know there are exciting adventures ahead, and I'm super stoked about breaking new ground. But to all of the people I love that I'm saying goodbye to--I'm really going to miss you. If I am or ever am anything good, it's thanks to you. Much love.
Who I'd like to meet:
My friends that are already on MySpace, and the kinda folks mentioned in my "About Me" hack job entry. People doing sweet stuff in London and elsewhere. Badass activist hippies that understand that change is more than painting a sign and shouting at whoever walks by. Badass philanthropists who understand that making money efficiently is way easier than giving it away effectively.
