Profile

I'm Just Me. I like Me.

I’m attracted to Humans, with no regard to gender, really flirtatious, and have little patience for morons and stupid people. I’m a tea snob and a coffee snob and honest enough to admit to being an intellectual snob too. I believe that tact is something best employed in conversations with children and old people and firmly believe that family is one of the most important thing in life (acquired and other). I’m sometimes too flippant and kinda pervy. And rather optimistic. And kinda pervy. Wait, did I say that already? Rather bears repeating, I’m afraid.

I spin yarn, knit, crochet and sew. I'm learning how to weave and to tat. I read voraciously, and in several genres. I love movies and will listen to any kind of music, excepting things I find have no melody like free jazz and gangsta rap. I love rollercoasters. Ok, just about anything that goes fast. I have been accused of being an adrenaline junkie.

No, that is not my annoyed face, I’m just thinking. I never stop thinking. I can follow up to six trains of thought at any given moment, and probably am right now. Yes, I will do this at inappropriate times and, yes, I’ve been yelled at for this. Repeatedly. I'm trying to do better.

I live for experience. Both good and bad, my experiences have made me who I am today. I believe firmly that disappointment breeds character and tragedy births both empathy and compassion. Love, ecstasy, pleasure and happiness are to be strived for, for they are the reward for surviving all that pain. I am a visceral person.

There is no black and white, only shades of gray. And as a friend has counseled: Women are evil and Men are Stupid - It's only to the degree in which you fall.

Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize, the one thing you cannot trade for your heart’s desire is your heart. (Lois McMaster Bujold, Memory, 1996)

I strive for balance. In most everything.

I have faith. I have a difficult relationship with Religion and do not trust it, for it has hurt me and betrayed me. I have been called Priest. And sometimes, I have been fortunate enough to have healed. I count that a blessing.

I keep a husband, and we two are kept by two cats: Augustus and Olivia. I have nothing against dogs, but kids and dogs really belong together and neither can be done properly in an apartment, so I am waiting for a house.

I was raised rural. I love the out-of-doors. I hunt, eat what I hunt and gather & freeze what I can. There's nothing better than blueberries (you picked yourself) in your pancakes in February. I prefer to sit and talk with people. Preferably over something to sip. Old people are fascinating - they have the best stories. I adore museums and history, epic stories and things that cannot be confirmed by our limited senses.

And finally, my education is in Ecosystems Biology with a Terrestrial concentration but I'm currently working as an Electrical Engineer. No, those have nothing to do with one another, with the exception of both requiring the ability for understanding two dimensional drawings of three dimensional concepts, and putting up with stupid people. :P
