music, art, theatre, dance, film, all that artsy stuff. running, yoga, belly dancing, vegetarianism, organic products, making my body healthy and fit. politics, activism, progressives, independents, revolutionaries, fucking with the status quo. being outside in all types of weather and feeling connected to the planet, standing in the snow, staring at the moon. goddesses, Ganesh, mythology, archetypes, the collective unconscious. French press coffee, cheap wine, beer, dark chocolate. conversation, singing, gallery hop, comfest, bars, finding new restaurants. people who like to read, write, talk, debate, and understand. going out and getting crazy, game and movie nights with friends, staying in on Friday night and recharging my soul. spoiling my dog. falling in love. experiencing LIFE with a capital L, complete with all its unexpected joys, pains, friendships, loves, and craziness.
Old friends and new friends! My soul mate. Anyone intelligent, interesting, genuine, and/or fun.
I want to meet people who'll challenge me, understand me, recognize my brilliance and forgive my stupidity. Friends, muses, lovers, running/workout buddies, coffee drinkers, readers, writers, artists, partners in crime.
If you know me, or think you should, feel free to send me a message. Please don't send me a friend request without a note, unless I already know you.
You can also AIM me at the screen name EmilyMay482.
