I think one would be most likely to engage me in
conversation in a small and
intimate setting.
Tea,
chocolate, and
chess are among my
favorite social lubricants, though I have a desire to get addicted
to
1000
blank white cards.
I am a freak for
plants. I am a landscape
gardener, hoping eventually to be
a landscape
designer. I love
science; I think the
linnean classification system is a
true work of genius. I love
nature and find myself very much at home
scrambling up
mountains and
wading barefoot in
glacial
streams.
Blue, more than any
other colour, is the colour I would chose if the universe had to go
monochrome.
I
paint, I
write, and I had a short,
failed experiment at a
webcomic.
I'm currently planning to start doing landscape design and
consultation. It's the kind of job that wouldn't feel like a "job"
because I'd love doing it.
I'm divorced and moved on now, and rebuilding my social life.
Editors
Smiling. Communicating with plants. Using
power tools (not really but getting
better). Paddling
canoes.
Inventing things.
Cooking.
Critical thinking. Making
music. (Well, that's
debatable, but I love music so I guess I'll just have to get good
at it eventually). I'm okay at chess. I find bars and clubs more
annoying than anything, especially since I no longer drink alcohol
or smoke and have hearing issues.
My eyes, my height, and whatever eccentricity I am displaying at
the moment. I have a 00-gauge plug in my left earlobe, and a
piercing in my right cartlidge.

Indie movies
are often fun but I'm also a sucker for a big fancy production if
it's well written. Looking forward to the
RAMA movie that's in production.

honey garlic anything,
home-made bread, fresh veggies and
fruit,

vegetarian I will probably eat
it.
Editors
Love.
Freedom.
Creative outlet.
Grace.
Joy. The feeling you get when you feel
understood, when you make a connection with someone else who
understands exactly what you mean when you thought that no one
would ever get it.
Plants. The Earth. The
oceans. The mundane, the sublime, and
most of the places where they intersect.
I don't mind staying at home, going on a date, going for a
walk, going for a
hike. Whatever
happens.
Any of the above made any sense.
