Is my twin flame, life's partner here at OkC?

Used to make derisive fun of dating sites, ever since one placed a personal ad in the paper (remember that?!?) and until I joined this site (because it is free).

Have stayed because of the tests, the quality of people here, and that I have met and dated a few guys from here.

Th-12/06/06 adding the results of the awesome Kittycat Personality Test. This succintly says more about me than many other tests here at OkC. Sooo, here it is....

"I'm a TabbyCat, The Most Balanced of All Cats. I'm a sometimes social, a bit crazy, & an all around laid back kitty. I may seem t/b part of the crowd, but anyone who gets to know me realizes that I am my own person." ME-OW...purrr ~

Renaissance woman, artistic, quaker universalist baby boomer bookworm ~ am re-engaging with my adolescent passions of social activism, writing, painting, spiritual seeking.

Sun sign Aquarius, Rising Sign Gemini ~ Typical airheaded (four house!!) Aquarian who believes that the Age of Aquairius is finally dawning in spite of the madness of the past several decades. I do not however, consider myself a New-Ager, but am most definitely an Indigo Child.

(In that essential facts that OkC gives us, who ever heard of 'owning a cat'? Dogs can be 'owned' ~ yeh, but cats deign to live with humans!)

Cat-like curiosity, living all nine lives simultaneously ~ everything intrigues me, but lose interest quickly. Have head in clouds and feet firmly planted on mother earth, and my forte is zinging you with intuitive flashes of Truth (whether you will or no!).

As I said re-engaging with my adolescent passions of social activism, writing, painting, and spiritual seeking.

Altho' not a member, I have been an active attender for most of my adult life in Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Just not a joiner, and I figure Spirit knows who and what I am. (Update; applied for membership 10/22/07)

Since Friends like to say that Quakers abolished the laity, we do stuff by committee...which has been a real learning curve for me...I'm a one-on-one person by nature...and this committee work is alot like herding cats. (My fav new expression)

Unnprogrammed liberal Friends have no paid ministers, creeds, or rituals and our core testimony is that Spirit/God is experienced directly, there is that of God in everyone and I would add everthing since I'm of the universalist persuasion) and that the Divine Realm is right here on Earth.

Curious about whom I truly am? My other virtual hangout is ~ http://my.care2.com/katkent. My opposite coast fellow aquarian OkC friend Chuque (see my comments) calls the called c2 'myspace for grown-ups'.

Am trying to update my profile, have been here at OkC for a year and a while, and am always frustrated with the interface, just trying to add words now, so it'll accept the changes.

I remember that it took me nearly a week to upload my pix when I first joined, frustrated w/ that and the changes here. But I do like that we can check out who is 'stalking' us.

Reading, 1on1 Interaction, Beach Bumming, Road Trips, Thinking, Armchair/Virtual/Astral Travelling, Snarky thoughts, which occasionally are OutLoud, much to my chagrin

however, am not good at the 'group thing'

~ ya know, the whole 'herding cats' analogy ~ consider myself 1st & foremost a cat person ~ someone who is totally individual

(some of nicknames I've been given over the years ~ Kat, Kattitude, KittyKat; well you get the picture!)

Relating to: That Which Is, domestic pets, wild animals, nature, or friends, family and random strangers; on an individual basis.

that cat herding thang again, ya know?

am working on the skill-set 'gets along well in groups', lol

1. Crowning glory ~ Thick Wavy Chesnut Colored Hair

I've had my ups & downs in life & know that material things (beyond adequate food clothing shelter) are not essential to anyone's well-being ~

I spend too much time thinking. About. Everything.

"The world is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel." - Horace Walpole

But one of my fav posters on my wall when I was a college kid was in primary colors, a tall stool, with this expression written in childish printing along side it ~

"Sometimes I sets and thinks, and sometimes I just sets." yeh, that oxymoronic Gemini ascendant thing goin on, ya know? "just setting" was more commonly called 'zoning' or 'spacing out'

"Here on the margin of the world I sit and think; 'til Love and Fame to nothingness do shrink." umm, John Donne, I think.

What's a Typical Friday Night? I'm into spontaneity, and do not like routines, especially in leisure time ~ like to try new things ~ get bored w/ the same old-same old.

NOT A THING!!! am private & reserved unless I feel close to you one-on-one (email, 'phone, in person, snail mail) then I'm very open ~

A while back, I came across s/o in the OkC communitty who complained that we should say something here to reveal something of ourselves...

and I engaged in a dialogue ~

his rationale made perfect sense to me, just something silly, enlightening, and most private that we are willing to admit.

F'instance, he has 50 model airplane kits that he has yet to build.

So, for right now here's my most private thing ~

I acquired a tan this summer, first time in 23 years that I haven't used sunblock on my naturally fair skin....now, isn't that a shockingly scandalous private thing?!?!??

Soooo, Gentle Reader, if you've come this far I am willing to divulge these two facts ~

1) my given name is Kathleen

2) I've had 4 husbands and 2 live-in lovers. (sequentially, see conversation/thought box above thumbnail)

you dare ... oh, come on 'just do it'
