Greetings. Headline quote is by Noelie Altito. Love it.
Reagarde moi: I adore psychology. Particularly Personality, Social Psych and Individual Differences. I've studied the academically distasteful but thoroughly insightful Myers-Briggs and Enneagram personality systems while theories from Freudian and Jung and ideas from Cohort and Erikson fascinate me to no end. I love philosophy- especially material written by the dearly controversial but truly brilliant, Ayn Rand. I've read all her major works within the past 12 years. As well, I feel equally reverent of the material created by the author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia. Astronomy and Physics also captivate: Dr. Michio Kaku and Brian Greene rock my mind. Lately, I’ve been exploring, in greater depth, the more alluring stuff like Superstring theory, the Big Bang, and the fundamental elements that make our world go ‘round. :)
In general and at my best: I celebrate the creative, innovative, imaginative, and witty. I have a strong need to create whether it be through artistic means such as painting, drawing, or dance (dancing into the wee hours = time well spent), scientific means like formulating theories (I have a handful of somewhat if not entirely original ideas) or through simple, often practical things that allow me to work more efficiently like creating a new spreadsheet for information gathered or redesigning the way my closet looks and functions. I appreciate the manifestation of abundance and wealth in all forms that are healthy and productive. I *hate* (in any mood and with anyone) arrogance, pretentiousness, insincerity, manipulation, volatility and people who are just plain rude or falsely entitled. Instead, I like people that are good-natured, honest, direct, playful, somewhat bratty (because I certainly am- yeah it's no secret everyone who knows me well knows I’m both crazy and pretty silly, pretty often) - and people that have the ability to express themselves with integrity and gentle conviction. Activity-wise, I love to cycle in beautiful weather, love to learn, love to teach, to spend time with friends, read, workout, meditate, cook (sometimes), get into the muck of a good psychological or philosophical conversation, see movies [drama, comedy, thrillers, historical pieces, some horror, some sci-fi] and watch television: The History Channel, FoxNews, CNN, fuse, HBO, etc. I especially appreciate beauty, chaos amongst order, nutrition/eating well - regardless of my penchant for anything sugery(!), Western principles, Eastern simplicity and elegance, keeping up with current events and politics (I try!), technology, and personal drive and ambition.
