Other than music hmm let's see. Mother Earth! She has so much beauty to offer. I love going to the beach. It's my ultimate relaxation. I've been to the Carribean a few times (Jamaica, Mon!) and I could just live the rest of my life lying on a nice white sandy beach with that crystal clear warm water just inches from my feet. I love going to the forest & mingling with the trees. Quietly sitting and listening to the breeze. Hoping to turn around and see a faerie or an elf. Still happy though to be there by myself. The way the sun shines through the trees and how the dew sits on the leaves. All green & serene. Then there's the desert. Red Earth, Red Sunset. Mountain winds blow. Song of the Eagle, Cry of the Crow! I'm into Magick & Shamanism and all things Pagan. I am a Rune caster and Tarot reader. I like to study mythology & anthropology & cultures & languages around the world. Psychology & rituals & what makes us all tick? I love to read good books and write whenever I can. I have so many stories to tell! I enjoy going out with friends & having a good time whether it's at a concert, a club, a protest, or the opera house! I'm happy to spend time just chillin' at home watching good movies or music on DVD or typing away on this here computer for hours at a time. :)I'm a good mommy to my Siberian Husky, Spirit, and we go on many fun, long walks together. We spend a good amount of time in the dog runs in my neighborhood getting to meet all kinds of interesting people and dogs! I've always wanted to learn how to bellydance but never seemed to get around to it although I can fake it fairly well for now. :)
I'd like to meet people who are open minded, fun, politically aware & active, into the arts with a passion, honest & real. People who like to rock n roll & have a good time but yet are also interested in the "bigger picture" in life. I'd like to reconnect with old friends and make new ones too!

"A world without heroes, is like a world without sun, you can't look up to anyone, without heroes. A world without heroes, is like a never ending race, like a smile without a face, a pointless thing devoid of grace. Where you don't know what you're after, or if something is after you. And you don't know why you don't know in a World Without Heroes."---from The Elder by KISS. So here are some of my heroes...Jeanne D'Arc, Emma Goldman, Joseph Campbell.
