I like simple gentle things like wandering and talking, cycling and doodling, fireside gazing and giggling.

I am warm and fun loving, somewhat ditsy and funny/quirky. Though I can also be serious and loyal, kind and thoughtful

I have developed a form of naivety from a belief that there are simple, easy ways to be involved in sharing a more fulfilling world. However this is questioned by the arbitrary nature of suffering that seems to go on all around. I have been thinking that I could be called a tinkering optimist - I don't accept 'just the way things are', rather I see things as a creative challenge.

It would be amazing to meet someone who likes to talk about these things, even if a consensus cannot be reached...

Also it would be wonderful to meet some-one with inner calmness. I do Qigong, and am interested in meditation - perhaps because it's something to do with being in the moment...

I also like to dance and revelling in the absurd

thinking, reading, writing, talking, eating, laughing, raising my eyebrows, blowing raspberries...and more...

making tea (i don't assume that people like it the same way everytime)

creating pizza with various different bases and sometimes a strange concoction of toppings

colourful clothes perhaps, i guess you can tell me...

i love anything by Murakami - esp. kafka on the shore also 100 years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. i am presently devouring the unbearable lightness of being by Kundera - incredible!! got the joke and slowness ready to read next - beautiful :)

Black Cat, White Cat is amazing. I also like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with gene wilder. Other gems are Memento,Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, one flew over the cuckoo's nest A Wonderful Life, A Beautiful Life - basically anything where there's a good plot and interesting characters - my favourite of recent times is In Bruges.

I love music from the 60's - present, including the beatles, velvet underground, nick cave, nick drake, joni mitchell, astrud gilberto, beth orton, aretha franklin, nina simone (beautiful!), bob dylan, otis redding, louis armstrong, beck, radiohead, joseph arthur

i'm a veggie, so i eat colourfully. anything from stir-frys, pizzas, stews (with pearl barley), various different curries, spicy mexican type things. i like cooking and experimenting. I love bananas (a great way to start my day) and like dipping assorted fruit in melted chocolate...

happiness, friends/good company, laughter, a cup of tea, chocolate, dancing

how free we/i can really be...

where to travel to...

i am going to finish an MA at the end of the year, so i am also thinking a fair bit about the next possibilities...

usually out with friends, either house get togethers, going to see a gig, or by a bonfire - weather dependant :)

you enjoy talking,

you like the idea of synergy

Also if you have any yummy recipes or any other good ideas you'd like to share
