I just sit looking up at the stars at night, like millions of other people

About Me

I'm incredibly high strung when it comes to scheduling and organization. I think it is a small obsessive disorder. I love to read, belly dance, do yoga, and make crafts. I also have a small obsession with music and finding new things to listen to. I love my husband and my cats and my circle of friends. I try to be open-minded and not judge as much as I can. My life is about enjoying a journey rather than acheiving a destination or goal. Life is what you decide to make of it, everyday you wake up and make the choice of who to be and how to live. Sometimes thinking of how much power we truly have over our lives and choices is overwhelming. If you ponder it just a bit longer it is the greatest freedom. Now go and enjoy it because life is so dandy.

My Interests

Mosaics Card Making Journaling Henna Books Dancing Knitting

I'd like to meet:

Gloria Steinem, Dante, Martin Luthor, Bosch, Galelio, Benjamin Franklin, Dorothy Parker, Richard Wright, Neitzsche, Einstein. Alright that is enough for now. I'm assuming this field is for a question of who you would want at a dinner party together. :)

Music:

Depeche Mode The Cure New Order James Milla I mostly just like to find good single songs. Alot of Techno.

Movies:

Trainspotting Planes, Trains, and Automobiles What the Bleep do we Know Star Wars. I actually don't watch movies twice very often at all, I just like to see new ones.

Television:

South Park C-SPAN, WAY TOO MUCH of it

Books:

Any Rand Graham Hancock Charles Dickens Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. It would be too hard to pick a favorite book, they all have different appeals. So I just listed the authors that I like enough to read most all of their stuff. I joined a book club recently, which is very good, it gets me out of the habit of only reading books that look good to my interests. Join Good Reads, it is fun. http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/700527

Heroes:

Myself and anyone who follows who they truly are and overcomes the ideas of what we are supposed to be. "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive," Anaïs Nin Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.

The Way we are Now

Change has an artistic beauty all its own.  The mind reaches for it and the body creates it. I think I have a hyper-sense of pheromones.  Scent can just make me go to a completely different ...

Defining Shadows

A Cache of Views

In the end there are reasons to hate and reasons to love everyone.  We all just pick and choose what energies we want in our life.  It is the color of the yarn that makes the patte...
