I am messy, brilliant, and bioluminescent.
My Self-Summary
My life is infinitely complicated. I am a dweller of the edges,
between land and sea and sky, between art and science, between
thinking and feeling. I am a naturalist on a Bodhisattva path to
discover the theory of everything so that I can help the world
alleviate suffering and bring balance to the universe! (Or the
force. Or maybe just my bicycle.)
I seek a partner in my quest, someone with as much creativity,
passion, brilliance, and eccentricity as I have. I seek one who has
lost all his fears, and walks though life with an appreciation that
every moment offers something interesting to discover, from
micro-climates, to human nature, to the geometry of the universe,
to linguistics, to sustainable living, to goofy sci-fi tv shows.
Or... at least I seek someone who wants to be that sort of person
and is still working on it, just like me!
My relationship deal: I'm married, but currently "temporarily
single" I suppose. A while back my husband got worried that I
didn't need him anymore, had an existential crisis, wound up being
uncharacteristically mesmerized by lots of blinking lights, loud
ritualistic drumming, some E, and another woman who desperately
needed someone, and he begrudgingly decided to make a commitment to
healing her, rather than be with me. So... he ventured off on his
"I'm going to find myself" mid-life-crisis-affair away-mission
Borderline-test, or whatever you want to call it, while I do my
best to wait as patiently as possible (which doesn't always work
out so well, as you can imagine) for him to figure out who he is
and get back to me. :-)
For the record, I'm NOT poly. And neither is my husband. Nor is his
girlfriend. Nor is her husband. But everyone else around us seems
to be or at least was in the past, which is sort of both a blessing
and a curse, I guess. At least it gives us a perspective of it
being OK to love more than one person at a time, even if we're not
very good at it and don't really want to end up that way. Life is
funny that way, isn't it?
What I’m doing with my life
Studying the universe, noticing the patterns of life, and reporting
my findings back to the human race, with the goal of creating real
superheros to save us from ourselves!
As my alter-ego Super Turtle, I have a superhero platform of
seeking answers to the some what bland but really useful
questions:
1. Who am I?
2. What can I do?
3. Who are you?
4. What can we do together?
Having come up with the answers to numbers one and two (I'm Super
Turtle! And I can think really well and make amazing things with
discarded and unwanted stuff!), I'm now focusing on that third
question. I want to know who you are. I want to know what your
super powers are. I want to know what kind of world you're going to
create with your powers. And I want to know if you'd like to listen
to me read children's books to you and then have a deep and
meaningful and fun philosophical discussion about them!
I’m really good at
Philosophy.
Consciousness and armchair brain
science.
Exploring nature. Armchair
metaphysics. (SEED magazine is my
favorite reading material.) Making cool stuff from recycled
materials.
Trashpicking. Being a superhero.
Playing with energy and seeing what I can do with it. And making
people think in ways that they aren't always entirely comfortable
with!
Also, I'm pretty good at categorizing things. I can even categorize
YOU over on my OK Cupid test at:
The
Spiraling Upwards Test.
The first things people usually notice about me
My tattoo "I am for you". (It represents various things, with a
core meaning of my goal in life, which is to offer truth, beauty,
and goodness to the world to create a healthier, happier, more
sustainable place for life to exist in. It also reminds me to be
present and attentive to the people who I happen to be with when I
am with them.)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I went
raw back in the
summer of 2007 when my husband left me. Going raw/living food has
been the best thing I've ever done for myself, I think. Alas, my
current situation has made it difficult for me to stay raw, and I
have a major weakness for pizza (with the cheese taken off), potato
chips, vegan pad thai, and chocolate, when I fall off the raw
wagon.
As for pop culture, I suppose saying that I've been a lifelong
Doctor Who fan should be a short path to describing my tastes in
media. But I take my fiction in small, intense doses, as reality is
far more interesting to me, and I indulge in all sorts of
exploratory media as often as possible. If
philosophy/hard-science/psychology-sociology/nature books were
food, I'd be morbidly obese!
The six things I could never do without
Contraction and expansion and everything that's in between.
Or...
-1, 0, and 1.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Life, the universe, and everything. Especially the human
relationship to it all.
On a typical Friday night I am
In a homeless shelter looking for answers to it all.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm willing to admit to anything that is the truth. I'm a believer
that secrets and dishonesty are the biggest causes of suffering in
the world.
You should message me if
You are also brilliant, not afraid of being a real human being,
interested in exploring the universe, willing to be a friend to
someone who's life goes nearly perpendicular to the grain, and who
is curious about this amazing and bizarre and occasionally scary
woman who knows that she knows nothing, while also having some
really beautiful, good, and true things to offer the world.
