My Huey-bunny! Music, Concerts, Art, Hiking, Hashing, Architecture, Traveling, Books, Movies, Music, Art, Wine, Art, Music, Music, Writing and oh yeah, Music!! And of course, it goes without saying: men. REAL men. ;)
Oh, and my new addiction: my PS2!!! My balcony and it's magnificent view! =)
Spirituality and growth. Christian anarchism.
I'd like to meet:
YOU!! Interesting people of all kinds, all ages, all backgrounds. I like watching people and getting to know a variety of people.
As for dating or hanging out, one on one: Someone who can keep up!!! Someone who is a person in their own right and doesn't feel the need to be "joined at the hip" 24/7 but enjoys spending time together with me as time permits and has a strong sense of spirituality. Someone on the same path as I am! Someone who knows what respect is and is kind in their heart. NO ATTITUDES, please!! Just be a genuine, real person!! I don't like arrogance or game-playing and I prefer someone who is straight-forth! I prefer someone who is as much into music as I am and perhaps is a music professional (so they understand the craziness!). I prefer the age group of 30-45 although I seem to lately be dating guys in that 27-29 year old age-range. I am NOT complaining, by any means! I'm actually really loving it! It's important that they be secure and not the jealous type because I do work with a lot of HOT young musicians! =)
I prefer someone well-rounded in their interests and tastes who is flexible....this means someone who can be happy chilling at home just as well as running full throttle out and about on occasion! They must love live music and have an open-mind when it comes to their musical tastes! I'm a very affectionate person who hugs a lot (ok, I hug everyone!) so they can't be afraid to receive (or give!) affection! And most of all, they must be FUN with a twisted sense of humor!!
I do tend to prefer creative, intelligent, imaginative types who defy stereotypes in their own way....not caught up in titles or labels...but just genuine and real. Again, a laid-back, fun attitude is great!
***I have met a guy who fits this criteria completely and he is wonderful! I have to give props to My Space for helping break the ice and, although our paths have crossed so many times over the past 20 years, My Space helped our separate paths merge into one path!! Sounds a bit cheesey, I know, but it's true!! ***

Books:
Anything by Carl Hiaasen, Mario Puzo, Anne Rice, Jeffrey Archer, Colin Dexter, Dean Koontz, Soheir Khashoggi (sister of Adnan), Stephen King.....novels in general.....and autobiographies. The Bible, the Koran, The Jewish Book of Why, The Tao of Pooh, Christianity & Anarchy by Jacques Ellul, The Law of Love and the Law of Violence by Leo Tolstoy, anything by C. S. Lewis..... Three books I loved that I read a year or so ago are "Memoirs of a Geisha"...written by a man, Arthur Golden, and based on a real geisha, Mineko Iwasaki; The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (about growing up in Afghanistan before the Russian and Taliban coups) and "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz, based on Toltec wisdom. Very good books! Three personal all-time favorites in the non-fiction category are: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl (you will never forget this book, written by a Holocaust survivor!) and Dark Eros & Care of the Soul, both by Thomas Moore.

Heroes:
Ronnie Young and Ali Ghoreishi. The DePew family for caring for my ex-husband when he needed it most....unselfishly and lovingly.
My boyfriend, Huey. He's a much nicer, kinder individual than I am and he inspires me to be nicer in my heart. He's got such a unique and kind viewpoint on the world! I've learned a lot from him. He's taught me a lot about respect. He's fantastic! He's helped me melt some of the ice and stoicism around my jaded heart!
Sharon Osborne! I would love to have her as a mentor! Benazir Bhuto, the first woman Prime Minister of Pakistan. Lisa Halaby aka Queen Noor of Jordan. Margaret Thatcher. (All STRONG women!) Anyone who stands up for what they believe in, in the face of adversity, and never gives up on their beliefs. Anyone who gives their time and heart unselfishly to whatever cause moves them....without thought to how it can profit them....those who do so diligently and earnestly. Anyone who gets right back up and keeps right on going no matter how many times they fall or fail........or who perseveres on in the face of tragedy or obstacles!
Also, because I sometimes take for granted the freedoms that we have in the States, I admire those who have had their world turned upside down due to revolution and governmental changes and have had to escape from their homes to freedom, often in conditions we can only have nightmares about and with nothing more than the clothes on their backs..... People like my former sisters/brothers-in-law (my ex-husband's family) and their friends who fled the middle-east and the religious zealots who gained power (greed, cruelty, infamy) in the name of Mohammad.....to practice their own brand of genocide and religious persecution. We can only imagine how it is to wake up one day and everything we have known is ripped away from us and we have to go back to living a life worse than that of the Puritan days......when you can be stoned for the most minor of incidents.
