About Me

Generate your own contact table!


Took the test. Scored well in the intellectual, philosophical geek category, but cinched the playful, fun category as well. I can be shy till I get to know someone. I'm a teacher of children (and other people), a reader and writer of stories and books (herbal encyclopedia soon to published I hope), a lover of chocolate, and intensely interested in nature and even the smallest flower in the sidewalk that everybody else ignores. Contest between the intellect and the intution, between the scientific method and finding things out with your heart? There shouldn't be. They both have their functions. I call myself an eternal student and teacher. I go back and forth between both. I want to make the world a better place. Oh yes, and rock and roll until I die, that's another thing I intend to do :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Smart people with a sense of humor, who love to learn and talk about what they learned as much as I do. Emphasis on "smart" !!! Good communicators. Fun people. Kind people. I am half intellectual geek and half crazy fun-loving trouble maker and rabble rouser, and would like to meet people of the same mix. One more truth: I can be somewhat shy till I get to know a person. I'm quite the opposite after I know you!I don't care about your race, religion, age, socioeconomicthingie, or anything like that. If you're cool people, you're cool people.
