archaeology, anthropology (actually, most -ologies interest me, except for maybe gastroenterology or helminthology -- I really don't care about stomachs or parasitic worms), cognitive science, pop physics books, music, singing when nobody's listening, eating sushi, making sushi, thai food, cheese, ceviche, cooking, fat cats (Felis catus domesticus not Homo sapiens richassholensis), observing severe weather from a safe location, giving and getting back rubs, travel, photography, movies, moderate intoxication, licking stamps and envelopes, sleep, avoiding sleep, hearing a muzak version of Julian Lennon's "Much Too Late For Goodbyes" while grocery shopping, nibbling on cat ears, scraping burnt toast, self-depreciation, the smell of dryer exhaust, the smell of the marsh.
For some strange reason, most people are trapped by their own little thoughts. I'd love to meet a person who could, even just for a little while, think outside of their own mind. Stop being what they believe themselves to be, remove all the filters they have collected throughout their lives, throw away their biases and preconceived notions, and exist as something other than themselves. Someone who can see the beauty in all situations and at the same time not be so awestuck as to leave themselves undefended from reality. Someone who can be humbled by the vastness of the everything and realize that they are a tiny bag of blood-filled skin full of twitching, pumping, perceiving, pissing, shitting, grinding, filtering organs that all support the ability, for that brief moment of a lifetime, to blossom into being and allow them to take a look around before being recycled back into the mix.....or maybe just someone with really good pot. I tend to personify animals and animalize persons. Observationally, at least.

You are now marked on my profile visitor map!
I live in two separate everywheres, and I am made of two distinct everythings. I am the reason general relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible.
We search for certainty and call what we find destiny. Everything is possible, yet only one thing happens. What a weird universe we're stuck with. .. For some reason I always have an incredibly difficult time coming up with a halloween costume. Is that a condition worthy of admission into the DSM-V? I think so.
