I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Non-commercial college radio (KUGS.org yesyes), being able to see at concerts, musica research and listening.. Corresponding romantically from afar.. Goat cheese, sharp cheese and jam on toast (thanks jes) Rugby from the sidelines..bloody and short shorts..so euro macho yummy. Hands hands, and brows and hands, harmony, harmonies, paul simon (the harmony flow)I've been called a 6 footer, nothing about me is very small. Listening to NPR, while I cook, with a glass of wine...planes, trains, and floaty toys. All my girls for evah evah. Chances--much like this--to play the free association game. A ruckus ping pong mini tourney after dinner. Nicknames-- sweet and full of love to my ears, to yours,british accented toddlers in Spain, no longer such a sucker for accented strangers (thank goodness, quite an akward moment that will save me in the future), double-dates with Croatian line-painters in Dubrovnik.. Snuggles, with the window cracked (the bugs and birds and frogs sound of summer just emerged at mi casa!) Funny teachers. Plans, no plans. Brain. "I'm warning you, I'm prepared to like you very much"Layout created at

My Interests

Cadid conversations, slips of sarcasm, live comedy/improv, Not matching, in a way that tricks everyone into thinking yes yes, listening to debates, accidentally entering debates, eye contact, looking away, eye contact again and twice and buzzworthy, Friends With certain Energy (as opposed to friends with benefits), flings, flights, depth in relationships, book books, muchos tipos de books, memoirs, travel stories, political satire, some of that spiritual shiggity, striking out alone, close long-term friends, live music, foot soaks, fresh flowers, house vines, familia, sisters,avacado, cilantro, pineapple, hawaii smelling lotion, lip gloss that stings like #&*^%, sleepy cuddly toddlers (other peoples), laughing. at you.

I'd like to meet:

.. Not so much heartbreakers. Not so much. Communicators..sensitive people..funny people, listeners, talkers, dreamers, tall people, short people, foreign people, standard americans. I think I"m more dangerously prone to being a hermit than I realized..... so ppl that will make me read in book clubs, I really can't believe I've never been in one, listen to new music and go dancing preferably all in one breath. A friend who is the one who always has the breath mints, or gum. Although I"m often that friend, and pretty much embrace it. since I never have a light...hmmm. People who laugh at their strengths and faults alike...People who can be serious, but certainly don't take themselves too seriously... People who feel comfortable calling me at 3 am (even though answering is 30/70) Someone who thinks I have magic fingers, and gardening prowess for keeping my 3 house plants alive (and keeping the tree that was already dead, dead) People who embrace tubs of vaseline. That I can understand. Gotta go.
