I am Awake, Compassionate, and Prepared.

My Self-Summary

I'm a Buddhist who tries very hard to remain in the present. I know that I appear moody at times, but it is mostly just introspection, and I don't expect anyone to read my mind....well, maybe sometimes, but I usually figure out how silly THAT is. I will talk when I'm ready... and I find a good conversation the biggest turn-on there is. I am willing to give space in return.

What I’m doing with my life

I am a registered nurse (with a bachelors in Geology... figure THAT out...), just left a job in Bakersfield, and am looking for something parttime. I am currently moving to my land near Oakhurst, CA where I'm working on building a house (myself) and to live self-sufficiently. The Yosemite area is the place I call home and I've lived there off and on for the last 20+ years.
I'm hoping to get more into art, a very old love, and have been playing in stone, metal, and glass.

I’m really good at

Sewing, singing, baking bread, sculpting, yada yada

The first things people usually notice about me

Smile

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Usually whatever I'm reading, watching, listening to, or eating at the moment. I use Audible.com for fiction and find myself most drawn to Neil Gaimon and Dean Koontz. I collect and read nonfiction books... how-to's, archaeology, herbals, etc. I like movies with a message or some good action. My musical tastes are very eclectic and vary with my mood or what I'm doing... don't care for much rap... do like some Lincoln Park though. As for food... I'm a vegetarian... not a rabid one... I don't feel the need to dictate the eating habits of others. I have raised, slaughtered, and dressed my own meat in the past... have chosen not to participate in it for the last 15 years. Might again if I'm starving.

The six things I could never do without

Pretty much air, water, basic nutrients and companionship. Every time I think there is something I can't live without, danged if the universe doesn't yank it. Has made for an interesting life....

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Being self-sufficient... it can get to be pretty consuming...

On a typical Friday night I am

Sitting around camp with a glass of wine, or maybe going into town to check the net and download some podcasts.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't like guys who "love" me before they've even met me, or who tell me how beautiful I am as an introduction. I care less about being "wined and dined" (though the effort is certainly appreciated...) than I do about good conversation and similar life goals.

You should message me if

If you have self-sufficiency goals, have found yourself collecting odd, old-ways skills, or have felt the urge to learn to do things that your friends find strange and out-dated. Your friends would call you "unique" or "eccentric"... and they only use those words because they LIKE you. Maybe you have a stash of food hidden away "just in case". You would also enjoy life in the woods and can manage to spend several days in a row without a TV or internet access!
