Rebel vigourously, and then do it some more!

About Me

I try to be fun, both dry and wet with my humour, and passionate about whatever I do. I love to learn new things and also to teach topics in an exciting and enthusiastic way. Some have suggested that I ought to rein in some of whatever intellect I might have in order to "adjust" better to the S.F. environment. Please tell me what *YOU* think about this! Real dialogue ought to begin here, and hopefully will never end. I love international flavours of food & music, fresh & natural scents, animals and plants (with a lush and rather silly weakness for ferns), liberating and liberated dancing, liberation in general (without the theology), hiking, taking foreigners on less well-known walking tours through our beautiful City, and helping people to realise their deeper dreams and passions.Tack onto this my preferences: sharing pretty much whatever I've got; enjoying a vegetarian and ecologically-sustainable lifestyle; and being a "nice (if slightly 'wicked' and analytical) person". I'm happy to speak with you in several languages (& maybe in a few of those at once (;-)) ). I prefer the phone to e-mail, much as I love to scribble things creatively.

My Interests

European and Asian languages, frisbee, taking and looking at pictures, tennis, the history and theory of social change movements, ping-pong, sexology & erotica, propagation of "primitive plants" from secret caches of spores, Arabic & Persian calligraphy, doodling and poster-posting excursions, geography, writing rubâ'îyât, far-flung travels, telephoning near and far, digging in the local dirt, healthy & non-meaty cooking, many foreign films, philosophy, wackiness, old Monty Python, making new friends & offering multifaceted international solidarity to non-oppressors!

I'd like to meet:

I like to think that "like attracts like". Maybe you are a little bit like me, and a little bit different too. I would find it fun and welcome to have a new and very honest rapport with a rather evolved woman. Since I'm newer to this site, maybe I should include here that a (play or dating or) serious relationship would for me generally be with a woman who's between about 30 and 55 years old, but that's all just a vague hint. I encourage *any creature* (of whichever gender & whomever likes my profile) to write to me, and I hope that I'll return that favour pronto . . .

Music:

From all over the map . . . but most often non-American, and if sung, then typically not in English. Having said that, there are hundreds of pieces of music delivered in English that I love too. Here's a sample of some older, mostly British and American stuff:"Savage Sea", by the Pop Group (Bristol, England);"Tropical Hotdog Night", by Captain Beefheart;"Only Loved at Night", by the Raincoats (London);things sung by Doc Dart, of the Crucifucks (Lansing, Michigan);"Strange Fruit", sung by either Billie Holliday or Robert Wyatt;"Duschen" (auf Deutsch), von Malaria (5 Frauen aus Berlin, 1982);Poison Girls songs (London);Crass' cover design (outside of London);earlier Gang of Four;there was just something about those Manchester bands too . . .and much, much more . . .

Movies:

Tell you after we talk about the books. (;-))

Books:

Far too many! I'll be glad to tell you later, though . . .
