About me...

I am 5'10" have jet black hair and serpentine green eyes. I am judicious Libra, mildly intelligent, and the progeny of Miss Teen Iowa 1970. I am easy going, open-minded, friendly, and I play well with kids, pets, and persistent strangers. I was raised by women and am a proud feminist. I've been a vegetarian since 2002 and cook mostly vegan. Right I'm actively riding the sine wave of life and living life in the minute infinity that lies between 1 & 0. I like having fun, dancing, and being with mentally stimulating people. I am a dreamer, an idealist, I see what needs to be done, and work toward it. I like to travel both rurally and internationally and enjoy immersion into different cultures. I am fascinated by what I cannot understand. I search for meaning in random coincidences and shine my energy on that which is not seen by others. I am trying to be the change I wish to see in the world, and think I am doing a decent job as an intern of earth.
I maintain a blog that I use as my digital scrapbook. If you've got some free time take a look around... there is a lot to discover!
