Bohemian Tantric Woman-Nerd strives for enlightenment

About Me

I'm an early/mid 30's Diva-Nerd hairstylist alternative-esque yuppy spiritualist waxing pseudo-intellectual artist type. I'm a happy, energetic, expressive person that's always on the look-out for deep connection and knowledge. I'm happily married to a man that I'm certain was genetically engineered for me by some sage Alien race or Cosmic entities to ensure our human existence was full of love and companionship. I like having this forum of expression to share with my friends, old and new. My highest values are: Creativity, Love, Celebration, Friendship, Spirituality, Beauty, Abundance, Expression, and Respect.

My Interests

Include, but are not limited to: fun, painting, writing, reading, movies, knitting, Bondage, travel, photography, sewing, collage, stone sculpting (which I haven't done in ages!), Fashion Design, Interior Design, art, hairdressing, make-up, dancing, Yoga, video and computer games, cooking, Spirituality, Ceremony, alternative health, anthropology, archeology, Tantra, camping, swimming, creation in general. Social interests include: entertaining, having house guests, parties, family outings, clubbing, restaurants, lunch/dinner/coffee dates with friends, e-mailing, letter-writing, blogging, heightened states of awareness, and deep conversation. I love Sci-Fi and anime, pop culture, foreign cultures (especially Indian, Egyptian, Morroccan, Peruvian, Japanese, Chinese), bad movies, concerts, toys, comics, God and Goddess effigies, jewelry, hats, clothes, shoes, stickers and post cards. And Hello Kitty. (I can't help it.)

I'd like to meet:

My first goal is to retrieve and keep in contact with my old friends. And lost friends. And busy friends. But I'm always open to meeting groovy people who have good intentions.

What Hell Looks like
