I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hello. I like to climb trees, dance in the rain, go sledding, dance to Dar Williams in my car with my friend Tami, walk barefoot, hike, climb, watch thoughtful movies, read good books, camp, cook, etc. I pretty much like anything that involves being with fun, weird, intelligent people; being outside; thinking; or dancing to good music. :) I joined "myspace" because I haven't heard from someone I was dating for a while and I wanted to see what he was up to. Pathetic, no? That's what living in New Mexico will do to you. You find one really cool person and you just want to hang out with them all the time. Sigh. Luckily I have my friend Tami. I don't know what I would do without her. She makes living in Taos fun, which is somewhat amazing because there are hardly any young, intelligent, weird, fun, people here. My best friend before I met Tami is 52. She's awesome but she's 52 so she doesn't exactly want to have sleepovers and go dancing all the time. Sigh. Why am I writing all this? Oh yeah, cuz it's Sunday morning and I have nothing better to do apparently. Maybe I will edit this when I am feeling less down. Until then, send me something nice and happy to make me smile if you get a chance (bonus points if it's weird or references something cool like Calvin and Hobbes or the Muppets). :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone intelligent, weird, fun, happy, and caring in Northern New Mexico (preferably between the maturity ages of 21 and 34). (I say "maturity ages" because my friend Tami is only 18, but she looks and acts about 25. I also dated a guy once that was 35, but it worked out because he was a total kid at heart and acted about 28.) Also, I'm bi, so if you're a woman reading this and like to date women and you are cute, please email me. I miss dating women a lot sometimes. Maybe when I'm over my last dating partner, we can meet. :) Until then, I think I'd just like to meet friends right now. Being rejected is no fun at all and I'd like to veer away from that in the near future. Actually (update in my life) I'm in this weird in between state with the last person I dated right now, so it's probably best to stay about 500 feet away from a relationship with me right now. So, anyway, if there's anyone out there who is interesting and fun and generally a happy, caring person, and lives somewhere close by, email me. :)

Heroes:

My mom, my dad, my grandpa, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Emma Goldman, Gertrude Stein, Gloria Steinem, basically anyone who has fought non-violently for social justice or had the courage to stand up and speak out against oppression."As long as there is injustice in this world, we have a lot to do." - Rigaberta Menchu Tum (1992 Nobel Peace Prize winner from Guatemala)Whatever you do, connect it somehow to the social justice movement. If you are a snowboarder, start Snowboarders Against Global Warming. - William Upski (author of "No More Prisons" and other good books.)"First came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.Then they came for me — and by that time no one was left to speak up." -Pastor Martin Niemöller

funny how things change and time keeps marching on and on

"On and on, all dust all stars, shake your thing, be who you are." Well, I've kept on keeping on- as good ole Dylan would say. It's funny to look back and see where I was a few months ago. My summe...

Define "my" in the "myspace."

So, I don't think I know anyone on here, other than the guy I was/will be? dating. I kinda logged on to this because of him actually. See, we had this really good, very intense too quickly relations...
