Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

So, i recently got a note from a charming and dishy guy that i needed to update what i have here...so i informed him that i'd been too bloody busy to change it lately. But alas, peer pressure haunts me, and so here i am...

12:45am, Saturday morning...loving having made the choice to stay home tonight. The week has been so steeped in wine, friends and food that i feel justified in saying no to the gong show that is Canada Day festivities in town. Isn't that the best part of getting a bit older and figuring things out - knowing that there'll always be another time down the road to party or hang out?

1am, Wednesday morning, a few months ago....sitting on the couch chatting on the phone with my friend Dr. Mel about polyamory, nude photo shoots and graduate theses. She's a little redheaded girl with a high-pitched voice and even higher intelligence quotient, and she's crazy and dirty. We talk about everything, all the details, no editing, so i consider her the best sort of friend.

Just got back from 4 days in Seattle. The trip was defined by a moment of realization last night that i was having dinner, philosophizing and laughing my ass off with a stuntman, a clothing designer, a masseuse, a metal sculptor, and a photographer and videographer. Sublime.

I've been back in North America for 1 week; the last five months were spent in Southeast Asia and Australia, doing a bit of volunteering but mostly vacationing. Still processing all the insights and epiphanies...in the meantime i'm having culture shock - not because of coming back to western 'culture', because the first shock of the madness in a supermarket in Oz brought that all roaring back, but because of the difference between the traveller's culture and at-home life. I actually like being somewhere new every few days, and i like how open people are to connecting when they're out of their normal element....

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Currently not working in the traditional sense; enjoying time off, drinking way too much red wine, falling in love, trying to motivate myself to write, taking every opportunity to dance, trying to figure out how i'll make money in the fall, starting to think about heading to the desert in August, being nomadic - always thinking about where my next trip will be...

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Finding grammar and spelling mistakes, making tofu taste good, knowing intuitively what's wrong with my car, making lists, cooking green curry, making puns, giving massages and back scratches, keeping secrets...

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My eyes, and that i look young for my age.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Books...hmmm, way too many to list. The Invisibles graphic novel series, and works by Timothy Findley, Neil Gaiman (American Gods), and Gabrielle Roth.

Food...chocolate, Indian, Thai, fresh cherries and raspberrries, peppermint patties, omelettes, good olives, tomatoes and feta cheese. Anything with cumin or caraway seeds. really.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

The space between my duvet and my bed, Roger's chocolates, the hours between midnight and 4am, my tribe of friends (not witty but utterly true), the words "absolutely" and "anyways", and dancing until you can't talk.
