I walk the path I believe in and let all else go.
Movement is my favorite, stagnancy my bane.
10 cent babies, absurdism, balance, bare feet, bats, beauty!, bicycling, roller derby, Tucson Roller Derby, blowing glass, bookstores, chaos, color, contrast, dancing!, deserts, fun, hair, henna, life, massage, masks, music, pictures, political action, puppets, Reiki, robots, Shiatsu, texture, touch, travel, water, love, hiking, boating, movement!, heat, wax, education, ocean, mind-body connection, snuggling, cooking, planting and nurturing, cycles.
Brilliant, punk rock, nerd core, open, intellectual hippies and shirts with a sense of reality and a healthy dose of dreams; art makers, music makers, beauty appreciators, who like deep kissing and dancing whenever possible and who are as amazed as I am by the minutae of the body and how it all comes together to form a body, a brain, a personality, etc. Rational honest strong healthy people who will complement and balance me, challenge and laugh with me, make me think and think with me. People who care a lot and who do something about it.

I liked watching Chef Duff on the Tonight Show & am excited about his having his own show on the Food Network, but I don't much watch t.v. I like Twin Peaks and this awesome Korean Show the name of which escapes me currently, which I'm watching with some friends once a week. I like good comedy, and other entertaining things, but I guess I'm in general more of a film fan than a television fan.
