About Me

I'm loving, affectionate, and like most Libras, have a dual and balancing nature.
Slightly introverted w/ mild preference for expending energy in ideas, emotions and impressions. I've been a public speaker, a teacher, performer, etc...but I'm very comfortable out of the spotlight too.
I like keeping the number of relationships within limits, as I would rather have more depth than superficiality in my relationships. I'm not knocking those that have an exponential number of friends, but I'm better with quality assurance within a smaller, tighter ship.
I think I'm a moderate realist, and though I have good intuition, the tangible appeals more. I don't usually rely much on previous experience, so all things can be "new" and un-adulterated.
I seem quite "ZEN" to most.But I'm not at all...
I also seem "indecisive" as I tend to consider things at length, or try to find the right composition for the decision. I often forfeit my own desires because I also want to make sure that all parties involved are happy. usually depends on the situation at the moment the decision is taken and also my mood at the time.
I'm not unhappy with reliability, predictability, and stabilitiy. (are their more -bilities I forgot to include?) However, I have a slight preference for a spontaneous and flexible time. I'm often quite fine with surprises, and very good with taking things as they come.
I've lived in many different places, and gotten to speak a number of languages. I'm adaptable to new and unexpected situations. I rarely avoid experiments, especially social ones (unless I am tired).
Life can be interesting, vely, vely intelestink.

My Interests

NATURAL VICESSouth East Asia: people, places, food, languages, traditions, culture, conglomerates, bodywork, use of colors, haircuts/styles, products, various forms of communicationLanguages: I speak several, since I pass for so many things as it is and lived in different regions; I find it helpful and entertaining to catch people off guard w/ language...including nonverbal communication.FOOD: the act of harvesting, hunting/gathering, finding, preparing, displaying, consuming, savoring, socializing, and feeding others. FOOD encompasses so many arts.I like things that can be eaten w/ rice (which is almost EVERYTHING), fried foods, things that have strong, complex flavors, spices, textures, feelings. I like foods that provoke strong reactions and emotions. I've NEVER been afraid to try food. Raw, alive, fermented, various states of rot, various stages of development, etc...Have you ever tried??? Several pounds of Raw fish? Baloot -fertilized and developing duck and chicken eggs, scorpions, poisonous fish, various insects, Chhoylaa? Khachilaa? raw buffalo/goat meat, Nepalese style worms? live worms? meal worms?I like things that require ritual, or at least an understanding of tradition, and culture. I LOVE colors, and often use color as a base for meals.Food controls sooo much of life, especially before mass-production of food.Orchids rare and unusual plants (used to collect carnivorous plants...still do)The subtext of culture.Garments: Creation, design, production, architecture of clothing, selection, symbolism, use as a communication tool. Clothing encompasses art -mostly visual, if not theoretical.fads and mind-control

I'd like to meet:
