About Me

I love you.
I'm a queer, heterosexual, anarchist, faerie-loving, Goddess-worshipping Catholic pacifist wine-drinking writer; I sometimes come across as pretentious, but I really don't mean to be. I'm an intellectual and hate intellectualism; I'm a web-designer by night, and hope to see an end to all technology within my lifetime; I distrust religions, but am deeply religious; I love animals and don't eat them or the products of their suffering. If I meet you for the first time, I will try to hug you. I think dancing with another human being is one of the greatest connections we can have. I think gazing into a person's eyes is important. I think we could all fly away to faerie if we could just get over ourselves for a second. I think clothes are fun for dressing up, but other than that we are meant to be clothed in nothing but sunlight and a smile. I am passionate. About everything.
I love love, sex, playing, fighting, skipping, reading, sighing, crying, living, and maybe eventually dying. I like writing poetry and taking long walks on the beach, in the woods, in the rain and through the mountains. I enjoy doing these things alone, but the greatest moments of my life have been doing them with a fellow joyous soul (yes, I'm looking at you, and winking).
I live in the tension wrought by two opposing pulls in my person — one which is drawn to the maya of the everyday world and wants desperately to engage in that, and another which wants to pursue its spiritual perfection to the exclusion of most other things.
I'm always looking for new friends, lovers, playmates, or arch-enemies. I love to travel, and if you are beautiful in heart and soul I will cross the globe to dance naked beneath the stars with you.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone who can make me cry because they're so smart, sexy, funny, different, playful, kind, open, surprising or ineffably amazing. Anyone who can introduce me to new dance, new play, new love, new beauty, or who can make the old seem new. Someone beautiful to spend my life with would be nice. A guru who can teach me to manifest my inner potential and allow my body to experience unassisted flight would be good as well. I also want to meet Jesus.

A Rambling I Go

I am eternal. My beliefs are transitory. My mind has existed since before there was time or space, and each instant it shifts and swirls. My reality is static only because I choose to perceive it that...

How Long?

How long do I have to go without sexual interaction before I can consider myself a virgin again? I feel like that's how it should work. I'm starting to feel, day by day, more and more like an unplucke...

Vote No One?

I find this VoteNoOne2004.com movement very fascinating. Such a thing, I have thought to myself for the past year, should clearly exist, and the fact that it does is a great joy in my heart. That s...
