About Me

I like to braid and dye hair (especially men's) and to laugh a lot. I'm a UU, and love it! It always conveys positive, humanity-affirming messages. I want to be a folksinger when I finally grow up, and I love meeting people at festivals. I like accents, and people always think I'm from other places (like up north) because I imitate my friends' accents without thinking about it. I'm an energy freak, but I still love the city lights at night, especially Broadway, so I'm trying to reconcile that! I have a LOT of uncles, dozens of cousins, and a few aunts. My bro's side-splittingly hilarious and makes good jokes about sex and vacuum cleaners. I'm an idealist, and an optimist, but I get sad and need hugs sometimes. I love farmers. I'm a really impatient knitter and clink a lot. I love life!

My Interests

roller blading, guitar piano African drums and voice, trampolining, diving, poetry reading, politics, Civil Rights and Feminist history, massage, hiking, dance of all types, collage drawing and painting, perfume testing, basketball game spongueing, cooking, candle and soap and jewelry making, bear hugging

I'd like to meet:

honest to goodness new friends!..
