I think I'll try defying gravity

About Me


I'm a total geek about all things wildlife and nature. I love the natural world. I love it so much I even studied it in college, and have devoted my career to studying and helping to protect it.
I call myself Wiccan primarily because I belong to a Wiccan coven, and practice magick. But my personal beliefs are a bit more hodge-podge...a pull a bit from Native American, Celtic, and ancient Goddess cultures, and a teensy eensy bit from my Roman Catholic upbringing (mostly the "love they neighbor and be a good person" part). Really I'm just a kitchen witch who likes to hug trees and dance and sing ;) I see the divine in all things, living and non-living, and I find immense joy in communing with the spirits of this land - and of the ocean. I'm an intensely spiritual person, though I probably practice about half as often as I should.
Among the more mundane matters of life, I have a mild obsession with my adorable guinea pig named Yodel =^_^= I play World of Warcraft occasionally. I used to practice yoga and play guitar on a regular basis (not at the same time, of course), and I really want to get back into doing those things again. I like watching American football, and other sports on occasion. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles! Go Blue Hens! I will always cheer for Philly and UD no matter where I live.
Oh, and my favorite color is lavender. I'm sure you were just dying to know that ;)

My Interests

environmental issues, feminism, Queer culture, coffee, books, guitar, singing, chanting, yoga, magick, shamanism, neo-paganism, chocolate, cooking, baking

I'd like to meet:

Old friends from Gwynedd Mercy Academy HS (Class of 2000), University of Delaware (Class of 2004), and members of The Circle at Bard College. Mostly I'm looking to use this to network with friends, especially those I've lost touch with or who've moved away, but I'd be open to sincere gestures of friendship from like-minded people (Dykes/bi-girls, pagans, wildlife geeks, etc.) in the D.C. or Philly/DE area. (Read: random frienders who I'll never meet IRL need not apply)

Music:

My musical tastes are very eclectic - in general, I basically like anything that isn't too vulgar or too poppy. If the music involves creativity and talent, I'll probably like it.

I often listen to last.fm , check it out:
