I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like good conversation and good literature. I am always up for a laugh and despise fake people. I speak Italian. I do yoga.. and I did a 6 month yoga teacher training and ayurvedic medicine and an ayurvedic approach to yoga postures. I am a certified massage therapist and use a lot of aromatherapy and hot stones while also throwing in some energy work that is amazing. I appreciate good wine and love tea with cream and sugar. I love driving through the desert , camping in the mountains, sitting near the ocean (Pacific northwest ocean that is...hello "Goonies"), red wine is divine, all music, old books that smell musty and look ancient, halloween (and the fall in general), cooking (I know how to get my cook on in a serious way), shopping at the outdoor market for flowers and vegetables, writing lyrics and in my journal for my sanity, movies, friends, summer nights with candles and barbecues...I have lived in some other countries such as Italy...Switzerland...and Canada (which I hope to do again someday).. taught at a survival camp in Canada for a summer (no running water or electricity and yes I bathed.. in the lake) ... I have a new love (thanks to this past season) of snowboarding....I want to learn to wakeboard and waterski ... I am great with horses...I have recently started running and enjoy the buzz... Busted my ass through school and college...I lived in LA for 3 years before realizing that I need dirt to be happy... I need the mountains to be stable... and I need camping to be inspired... Believe I am going to find out who I truly am one of these days... Forgive myself for my fuck ups.... and forgive others... I laugh at how uncool I can be and that I find bodily function jokes entertaining in movies....fight to be happy and have a good head on my shoulders. I'm loving to a fault (is that possible?). I'm a veggie but I don't push my beliefs on others. I decided to be a vegetarian out of compassion towards all things. I really like to garden and am planning a huge organic garden for this summer along with a massive shade and bulb garden...I would love any tips if you have them.Also...I started to make some songs... because I love to sing ... so if you can handle that they are works in progress... then please check them out... tell me what you think and add me as a friend.http://www.myspace.com/sheascorneror justclick here ..

My Interests

Dancing in 80's and goth clubs.... I hate regular ones...Guitar - So not good at it but I love to bust out on it all the same...Singing - I sing in church, the shower, and my car (very loudly)...Yoga - Bikram and/or any yoga practice is the craziest journey you will ever take...Laughing - If you have not in a long time, it is shocking how good it feels...Cooking - I think this is my witch self coming out...I love to mix spices and create a feast for friends and family...Speaking italian (when I can) - If not, then I dig watching italian movies, listening to cheesey italian music and dreaming in it... Poetry -(love Baudelaire, Rumi, and Byron)...Acting - but hate acting classes...Movies - Staying home and watching a movie is my idea of a night out...Music - I prefer my world with it on constantly and at a good volume... Coffee - with cream no sugar...also espresso = yum... Painting - oils since I can work in layers (Hannah taught me this) and take my time...I would like to explore acrylics again...and I like using watercolors to paint flowers... Reading - I have a problem of reading about 15 books at one time.... I have enough books to fill 4 of those tall book shelves with 5 shelves...I love them and I don't spend my money on clothes, shoes, or drugs... so there ya go....Camping - If you have not spent some time out in the mountains without a phone and all this technology... You most likely won't understand me...and finally Friends - I have about 3 or 4 that I would bleed for... You know who you are..... I am very open and enjoy stumbling across new people ... Fascinated by how people find each other... more fascinated in why????

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet honest people. I would like to meet kind people. I am not interested in filling a void or playing games. Don't pretend to be something you are not. I'm always open to friends... soooooo... Anyone with opinions (and the smarts to back them up)...Someone to teach me to play the piano...and people who really understand what UNCONDITIONAL love is... I would like to interact with anyone serious about art/music/film/YOGA or is just generally in love with life. I'm really into yoga and ayurvedic medicine and other forms of natural healing so info on that would be great. Anyone who is into firedancing and wants to burn let me know when and where. Anyone that enjoys gardening. I do not want to meet people that are just going to send me some perverted message so don't bother and I also don't accept friends unless you take the time to message me as well. It is my site and I can do what I want... so there.
