I am here for Friends

About Me

Give me something real.

These days, I am pursuing:
freedom, simplicity, discipline, direction, & Love

I spent too much time on this
I actually like some of it though... and am trying to make more hand made art lately too.
I laugh a lot. And think a lot...

My Interests

I am interested in being humbled by God, taking in every moment, learning how to love, and living that out. Of course, I could use some help.

I'd like to meet:

People I already know- stay in touch.

Music:

• Classic: Cash, Dylan, Springsteen, and friends' bands
• Anything that makes me really want to dance is great (which could potentially be anything).
• Summer 2006 Listening Music: Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel, Radiohead, Spiritualized, Sufjan Stevens, and Woven Hand
• As I think of it: Mono, Devotchka, Iron and Wine, Palace Brothers, Everything is Illuminated soundtrack, eccentric accordian music...

Movies:

• Specific: Koyaanisquatsi, Hotel Rawanda, Everything is Illuminated, The Mission, Little Miss Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, black and white classics from Nosveratu to Christmas in Conneticut
• In General: Musicals at the Greenhouse, most work involving Wes Anderson, Christopher Guest, or Tim Burton, whatever typically stunninly beautiful artsy clever film is currently out, and anything that makes me laugh a lot

Television:

Too much TV makes me feel really apathetic

Instead:
Community
conversation
silliness
stillness
make food together
swim
group bike ride
reading party
worship
dance
pray
explore
draw
paint
diy
sustain
scavenge
music
performance
connections
confections
sleep
it's hard to get bored...

Books:

• Current reading list: The Bible (Hebrews), Freedom of Simplicity, finishing off a few "women's Christian" books I started and never finished, & potentially The Cost of Discipleship and some Kierkegaard
• Favorites: The Irresistible Revolution, Holy the Firm, and the book of James

Heroes:

The eternal Holy Trinity
