I'm a "transplant" Austinite. I grew up in East Texas, moved to Chicago (well, the suburbs) for the first two years of college, then made it to Austin. I have been here six years now, and love it. I can't say this is where I will settle, who knows where the Universe will take me? But I'm here for now, and I will make the most of it.

I'm a Pisces sun/moon, Leo rising. Water/fire. ENFP. I love the city, the sights the sounds, not so much the traffic, I detest driving. But I love to go out on the town, and explore the city with friends. I also love peace and quiet, the outdoors, nature, water, trees, rocks, earth, the wind, etc. I'm a lover of all the seasons, the ever-moving Wheel of the Year brings me great joy.

I am currently a municipal employee. Working a desk job during the day, and taking some classes at night. I will finally be finished with my degree in December!

Still have no idea what I will do once I finish up my degree. I could stay where I'm at with city government, or move on to something else. Lately, I really have felt drawn to a more holistic career, perhaps something more hands on, and where I can help bring healing and peace to others.

Listening, but also talking as well. I love a good conversation. I like reading Tarot Cards, although mostly for myself. I haven't quite mastered reading for others. I love love to cook. Some folks say I'm a pretty damn good cook.

My glasses. And when I'm not wearing them, my pretty green eyes.

The historical significance of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Scrapping and yelling with my crew. Or curled up in my bed with tea/wine and a book/Netflix.

I HATE texting. But I realize in this postmodern/post-Marxist/post-anarchic/post-postmodern society, it is a necessary evil.

you would like to strike up a meaningful conversation. And possibly hang out- catch a flick, have a few beers, go out to eat- or better yet, cook something delicious!
