I'm an outspoken activist and seeker of fun and adventure. I'm the girl dancing and hula-hooping at music festivals, driving the pickup in heels, camping out in the backcountry and tossing a frisbee around in a meadow. In winter I'm skiing, snowshoeing ... and I might still be throwing around a frisbee if anyone will play.A committed vegan as well as an Italian Sagitarrius New Yorker with an "ENFP" personality, I'm passionate and vocal about my convictions, but I also know how to kick back. I love good beer and throwing parties. I'm bored by the ordinary.I've spent the better part of the last 12 years working and volunteering for animal rights and currently am a volunteer at the House Rabbit Society, which I love. Professionally, I work as a copy editor at a great marketing agency.I'd like to travel the world ... and change it a little along the way. Or a lot.

My Interests

Animal rights, human rights, hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, yoga, traveling, live music, watching wildlife, photography, movies, microbreweries, canoeing, becoming a better person

I'd like to meet:

Folks with integrity and compassion. People decent enough to eat tofu even when they might prefer to gnaw on the corpse of a small tortured bird. I appreciate intelligence, communication skills, a good sense of humor and adventure, and a relaxed and playful spirit. I also love vegetarians and others who respect the earth and examine their lives to effect positive changes in themselves, their communities or beyond.

Music:

Michael Franti and Spearhead, Yonder, Grateful Dead, Ben Harper, Peter Gabriel, Miles Davis, Hot Buttered Rum String Band, Sarah McLachlan, Liza, Kan'Nal ... love a good show or music festival

"A revolution never come with a warning

A revolution never sends you an omen A revolution just arrived like the morning Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snoring" -- Michael Franti, Yell Fire

Skiing Vail = skiing on the bones of Canada lynx. Buying a five-mountain pass or supporting Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone, Breck or A-Basin helps destroy small businesses while feeding an evil corporation intent on raping the earth for real estate dollars.

Movies:

Tsotsi, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Walk the Line, Crash, Brokeback Mountain, Motorcycle Diaries, Happiness, Office Space, The Godfather, Watership Down, The Wizard of Oz, Life Is Beautiful, Amelie, early Woody Allen

Television:

Heroes:

Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Captain Paul Watson, Dennis Kucinich, John Lennon, Jane Goodall, Che Guevera, the Lorax ... all who fight for freedom and justice with peace and compassion

Saying goodbye to a special dog

My friend Bear died today. Bear was a sweet old golden retriever who lived next door. He was happy to be my running buddy and would often entice me outside, even when I felt lazy. He'd come to the cab...
