I am independent, nonconformist, and free-spirited.

For those of you familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I’m an ENTP. For those of you not familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality Types, it’s a fascinating subject to research.

I’m basically a free-spirited hippie. I’m insightful, creative, outspoken, and adventurous. I value logical reason, knowledge, and learning. I question the establishment and consider myself a nonconformist and an intellectual rebel. I’m independent, have my own ways of doing things, and refuse to conform to the status quo. I’m kindhearted but not sentimental. I consider myself an open-minded, intellectually curious Christian. I love Jesus and do my best to follow His example, do my best to interpret the Bible objectively and without cultural bias, and am not dogmatic or rule-bound in my faith. I’m a courageous risk-taker and I’m not afraid to confront and expose the cruelty, corruption, and greed that go on in the world. I crave adventure, feel at home in nature, and have a wild, reckless, passionate spirit that can never be tamed. I have a very extensive knowledge of the plants of the Southern Appalachians and their uses, and I also love and am good with animals. I live outside the mainstream. I guess you could say I’m an aspiring organic homesteader and prepper, but since I don’t own any land yet, I’m focusing more on skills than supplies. I do natural tie-dyes with plants and enjoy traveling to Native American pow-wows and arts and crafts fairs. I also like to sing karaoke, and can express things through music that I can’t express otherwise. My calling in life is to be a good steward of all of God’s creation and my goal in life is to live life to the fullest and have plenty of interesting stories to tell.

I'm in an open relationship. That means that I have a boyfriend, but if we want to have other friends with benefits, we can. That being said, I'm not looking for meaningless sex. And no, I don't screw everything that moves, and I'm actually quite picky about who I'll have a sexual relationship with. I'm looking for friends first and foremost. If I find a male friend physically attractive, that doesn't neccessarily mean that we will have sex, and chances are the friendship will stay platonic, but if he's single or also in an open relationship, the possibility for sex is there. I also will not have sex with anyone in a committed monogamous relationship. An open relationship also means that I'm completely and totally honest with everyone involved.

I'm working on starting a business doing natural tie-dyes with plants. I plan on selling them at pow-wows and arts and crafts fairs. There are other people who do natural plant dyes, and other people who do tie-dyes, but as far as I know, I'm the only one in the country who's combining them both.

My long-term goal, when I can afford a piece of land, is to set up an organic homestead and historic preservation farm where I'll be growing heirloom vegetables, medicinal plants, dye plants, and other plants that were used historically in the Southern Appalachians.

Creative problem-solving, thinking systematically, hands-on creative projects that require attention to detail, pruning plants, writing, singing, cooking, sewing, communicating with animals, reading road maps, etc.

What I look like. That's the first thing anybody notices about anybody, regardless of whether they want to admit it or not.

I'm not going to bore you with a long list of favorites, so I'll generalize here.

Music: Country, classic rock, alternative (the kind they don't play on the radio.) I love music, it's one of my passions.
Books: The Bible, anything nonfiction that relates to my interests, occasionally thought-provoking novels. I love to read.
Movies / TV: I'm not really all that interested in TV and movies.
Food: I try to eat mostly healthy, natural, unprocessed, home-cooked meals at home, at least to the extent that I can afford to (organic food costs more). Away from home I eat whatever's convenient and tastes good. I like to cook.

Other than of course air, water, food, clothing, and shelter...

God, freedom, plants, music, fire, a pickup truck.

Anything and everything that interests me, crazy theories that I came up with, etc. I come up with some really crazy theories with the help of marijuana. It's actually a very philisophical and spiritual experience if your mind is on the right level.

It depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll go out and sing karaoke, sometimes I'll travel, sometimes I'll visit friends, and sometimes I'll stay home and read or play on the computer or work on some kind of project.

I have Asperger's Syndrome. For those of you not familiar with it, it's basically the same thing as High-Functioning Autism.

You've read what I have to say on my profile. Just skimming over it and looking at the pictures doesn't count. It's a matter of respect, if you don't read what I have to say or have anything interesting to say on your profile, what is there to base a genuine friendship on?
