Greetings, fellow Cupidites! I am rising from the ashes of a long depression, dusting off my old flirting skills and rediscovering how much I like to play. I'm recently married, in an "open" (polyamorous) marriage, and looking for lovers. I'm also into BDSM, am a member at The Wet Spot (CSPC), and will melt into a puddle of goo for a man who knows how to dominate. Message me for more info on my kinks, if you're interested.

I'm a long-time pagan, a legally ordained Wiccan priestess. I actively practice my spirituality and enjoy working with the pagan community at festivals and public rituals. My approach is both intellectual and experiential. I like to research the ancient history and mythology behind earth religions, but books will only take you so far. Wisdom comes from using the knowledge you glean from them.

What do I do for a living? Not much right now. That depression I mentioned earlier was due to being an undiagnosed Bipolar II, and it pretty much destroyed my world for nearly a decade. Proper diagnosis, medication and therapy are making a huge difference. I'm in the process of reclaiming my life, and still don't know what the hell I want to do when I grow up. I do a little temp work in the meantime, and dabble in graphic arts, acting, and writing. I'm also thinking about going back to school for a Masters in Comparative Religions, but I have a little time to think about it before I have to submit an application.

Compassion and kindness, empathy, self-awareness, and listening. Flirting, teasing, laughing. Submitting. Feeling.

Well, I'll just say it: my tits. Though I'm told my legs are a close second when I'm wearing something short. My laugh is pretty impossible not to notice, too.

Books: Fantasy and sci-fi (Laurell K. Hamilton, Jim Butcher, Frank Herbert, Tolkein, J.K. Rowling, some Heinlein, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Terry Pratchett); the occasional historical romance (only if the history is accurate, though - best author in that genre is Roberta Gellis); mystery and detective stories (Robert B. Parker, Rita Mae Brown, Dorothy Sayers).

I love a wide variety of music, and have a particular weakness for glam-rock hair-bands from the 80s. Whether opera, classical, pop, rock, or metal, I like music that is passionate and emotionally stirring. Puccini, Brahms, Rachmanninoff, Guns-n-Roses, Queensryche, Led Zepplin, The Eagles, The Mamas and the Papas, Evanescence, Bon Jovi, The Partridge Family, Great White, Kansas, and The Dixie Chicks, to name just a few.

I like most kinds of movies, though not so much the romantic comedies. Bad sci-fi B-movies and sword-and-sandle exploitation flicks always make me grin. Some favorites, off the top of my head: Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Streets of Fire, Footloose, Sweeny Todd, Restoration, Almost Famous, Serenity, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth), and I'm sure I'll be smacking my forehead later when I think of more.

Food? I'm trying to eat healthy these days (low fat, low cholesterol) because hubby has a heart condition and he needs the moral support. But I refuse to give up chocolate. I like Mexican food, Indian, Thai, Italian, and love to indulge myself with a fat, juicy hamburger every once in a while.

Chocolate. My mind. Cats. Books. My Computer (with internet connection.) Friends.

Sex. Doesn't everyone? But also, what makes me tick. What the heck I want to do with my life. The interconnectedness of all things. The divine nature of love.

If there's a new episode of Ghost Whisperer on, I'm home watching TV with my husband (he has a thing for Jennifer Love Hewitt). Otherwise? You never know. I could be at The Wet Spot, could be seeing a movie, could be doing just about anything.

Please. I blurt out everything.

You want to know more about me. And especially if you're a guy with long hair. Yum. But the long hair is not a requirement, just a bonus.
