I am here for Friends

About Me

There's no way to really completely describe who you are in words, but here are some things about me that I like and think make me unique:
1. I almost never cry, but humane society commercials make me weep.
2. I won't rest until I've seen the whole world.
3. I never make the same mistake twice.
4. I can't hide how I feel, and I don't want to.
5. I like to constantly be challenged - at work, physically, intellectually, relationally, spiritually, etc.
6. I am a sensual and aesthetic person - I like to surround myself with beautiful things that engage all of my senses.
7. I'm not satisfied until I've really learned something, not just in my head, but with my whole self.
8. I believe in love- deep, lasting, permanent love, in many forms - romantic, platonic, familial.
9. Family is extremely important to me - when the time is right, I want to be married and have some kids.
10. I love to laugh and thoroughly enjoy myself. I also love helping others enjoy themselves.
11. I'm a very giving and generous person.
12. I'm a good listener.
13. I like to discover something new about myself every day and am constantly working to make myself a better, purer me.
14. I see great beauty in the variety of people around me. I hate conformity.
15. I try to make choices that lead toward the world I want to live in.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who can

A: hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
B: ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
C: sing with all the voices of the mountain.

Faith Remix

I have been working on some written pieces that embody some of the things that I believe, spiritually speaking.  Call them my "statements of faith," if you must, but that is a little more religio...

New towns, suicidal thoughts, and people who teach you to hope.

So a lot of "things" have been going on with me of late. The job is going really, really, unbelievably well.  It is the dream job I didn't know existed.  Getting up at four am on Monday is e...
