About Me

I believe strongly that life is in constant motion, and it is a pleasure to change and grow as a person. The hardest choices are the ones that challenge us, and I welcome them in my life. As burned out as I've been by my profession, I am constantly in awe of how human we all ARE, and that people are so incredible in what we are capable of. I think the toughest concept to understand is that we all have a choice in life, no matter how frightening they can be. And to witness this is extraordinary.Of course, aside from this seriousness, I am a firm believer in having a good time, not taking life/yourself too seriously, and finding balance in life. I could be the most silly person you may ever meet, and am always down for a good laugh.

My Interests

People - especially if you have a story to tell, or are "clued-in" enough to understand that life is a constant change and so are we. The universe is full of lessons and fun - but you gotta listen! Now, past this California psych-related crap (which I do buy into at some level, obviously!), I am interested in people who can challenge me, teach me new things, and have a great time with.Cats, dogs, parrots, animals in general... I sometimes think that I should abandon mankind and would be better off becoming a veterinarian. However, this is not the path I'm on.Dancing (esp. to old school goth/industrial/alternative 80s), singing like a rock star in my shower, walking aimless with all the time in the world, the ocean, psychology, wearing flip flops, talking for hours with interesting people.

I'd like to meet:

I'm super friendly, but it may take time for me to let you in. I am fiercely protective and loyal to my friends. The people I value the most in my life share common values of integrity, compassion, resiliency, and the willingness to own their shit. :) Make me laugh, and I will always adore you!
You Were Born Under:
Fierce and courageous - you are the king of every situation.
You pounce and attack, until others give you want you want.
Daring and magnetic, you inspire others to follow your lead.
And while you're wild at heart, you have some hidden soft spots.

You are most compatible with a Horse or Dog. What Year Were You Born Under?
