Someone once asked me one of those big questions....the ones that are supposed to give great insight into your character. He said "what are you most passionate about in life?" The first answer that popped into my head was people....not specific people but humans as an entity....the individual yet collective nature of the human race...the incredible duality of our nature. There are two sides to all that exists, and in my mind-- though I long to dabble in the extreme ends of the spectrum and admire those who do-- I am myself most comfortable finding the center, the balance that comes from accepting all sides. My mind thirsts for knowledge, and my body thrills to new experiences....I am mutable and boredom is two steps away from death. It is simply a slow one. Luckily much fascinates me. I judge very little because I can see and understand all sides to varying degrees...but that does not mean I lack opinions....I have perhaps an overabundance of them. Those who really see me know I am passionate and fiery.... My loyalty is endless until betrayed more than once, and I treasure my friends above all else. I find delight in the small things....stopping to smell the roses clinging to a wall near the side walk--but I find irony in the cliches. I think this myspace "about me" is remarkably unconcise and when I am finally in the mood, I will change it to a witty one-liner. I make up words that sound as if they could be real and should be. I thrive on information and communication of all kinds. I believe in the possibilty of anything... I long to lose myself in the physical but find that my mind has a tenacious hold.....I want to do everything it seems, and I will ...traveling nourishes me on all levels.....I love to dance and have my heart set on argentinian tango, belly-dancing, and flamenco currently. I love outdoors, I love good food....I love combining the two....farmer's markets, picnics, crepes on the sidewalk, gelato on the street...I love the casual: ordering in and curling up with a movie, a night with wine, friends, and board games.The gregarious: nights dancing till you forget yourself, meeting strangers who tell you their life stories. The spontaneous: an afternoon trip to the mountains, down the coast or a trip to the strip club, just because...But I appreciate the delicately planned....it means someone took the time to find out what makes you tick.....overall so much interests me.....the lofty and the low, things that cannot be explained........caring about many without caring what many think....giving respect but first respecting oneself....It is a process, a journey...overall I am just glad to be on it with you fine people.
