I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i have a million thoughts running through my head at any given moment. i find it hard to focus. i find it hard to remember. i might float too lightly (i'm trying to resolve the tension). i'm in love with life and the relationship is not strictly platonic.
i write. i love to ride my bike. i love giving gifts. i love to cook. i love being outdoors and noticing all of the things i sometimes miss. i love touching things. i love to climb things. i love playing. and i really love where i live.[im: de linterieur] [lj: diffuse]

My Interests

love, laughter, beauty, wonder, exhilaration, life, music, energy, intensity, connections, sharing secrets, travel, deviation, the unseen, poetic terrorism, situations, absurdity, nonsense, ridiculousness, experiments, the sky, the ocean, the stars, dreams, changing my mind.

I'd like to meet:

anyone who has ecstatic/painful/intense dreams, anyone who wants to start a dialogue of new ideas, anyone who loves life, anyone who wants to play, anyone who wants or needs to share secrets, anyone who wants to really TALK. anyone who would like to go for a beer and shoot pool or play air hockey. especially anyone who wants to perform experiments with life. dreamers, foreigners, aliens, those who escaped socialization.also, someone who will have squirtgun fights in the park with me. someone who will go on an absurdist crime spree with me. anyone who identifies with the quote: “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"or hey, what about this one: "i was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."
