Like I said, I'm eclectic.... I like to learn and be mentally challenged. I am interested in writing - I think writers should write something everyday (because a writer writes) even if it's bad. I think that writing is an art and to say it's either good or bad depends on the reader, anyway. What else to put here? Academia, activism, how to be a good parent and who decides what a good parent is. Books of all kinds, even the little kid ones. Learning to be a better cook, by which I mean cooking more different kinds of foods.... I like to swing dance. I like to dance, in general. I'm interested in energy and having enough of it every day. Humility - and how to be humble. Thankfulness - always realizing how good my life really is. Organization - I like to make little lists of things to do so that I feel organized. I like to feel productive every day. I want to feel as though I am doing something each day that matters and means something. I like tattoos. I'm interested in being a more cultured person. I'd like to travel more. I think it's cool that wherever I go, my daughter will be with me, so she'll get to see a lot of cool places, hopefully. I like the idea of learning to love as completely and wholly as one possibly can. Um....appreciating differences is cool, rather than choosing to dislike them - I guess that's the whole finding beauty thing. Pacifism, activism, philosophy, music, guitars, pianos, i like orange juice a lot. - Cranberry is pretty good too, though... width="425" height="350" ..
You Are a Cappuccino
You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new.
However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like.
You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation.
You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please
