Being human, expereincing life and people who can enrich it. Living the revolution: Engaging in critical, meaningful conversations, connecting with people, dancing, radio--community, pirate and college, radical politics, activism, cooking vegan/vegetarian food, astrology, going to punk shows, protests, plays, theater, performance art, making new friends, traveling, films, hiking, reading, feeling, taking bubble baths, and chocolate.
I'd like to meet:
People who inspire me and are inspired by me....those who back up thier words with actions....people who turn thier visions into realities...movers and shakers....people to dream with, debate with, dance with and smash the state with....people who can carry a stimulating conversation, I fancy radicals, dreamers, artists, dancers, activists, vegetarians and vegans, open-minded folks and people in recovery. Not into bullshit-so if you aren't down for the long haul, not into making real friendships or are just about looking cool, don't waste my time.
Resistance is Fertile!
