I am very much in love with life. Can you feel it? The sheer joy that comes from breathing; exchanging matter and energy with the universe... the unbridled bliss of movement? Recieving input from your senses? Expressing yourself? Interaction, communication? The wonder of emotion, and the all-absorbing excitement/contentment of infatuation?

Well, give it a try sometime. All it requires is perspective, really. :)

Anyway, I'm a highly nerdy, somewhat shy, spiritual, anti-religious, somewhat political, anti-civilization, nonsmoking male-to-female transsexual angel of love. And, you know, I'm quite happy with that. :)

I am warm, true, and heart-led

I'm living it! Getting my feet under me, finally standing up after a long time of lying down. Living, working, enjoying life, doing a lot of biking and getting a heck of a tan.

loving people, taking care of my son, solving problems, understanding a situation, listening, being a friend, swordplay, inspiring, waking people up. I'm also a media goddess; I'm the go-to for those that know me for messing about with audio and video stuff.

Well, that I'm transsexual. :) I doubt most people get past that, honestly. But if they do... probably my height, my nervousness (shy, you see), or my smile. Or, if I've been to Sally's recently, my weird hair colour. :D

(a) Dr. Who novels. Pretty much any urban fantasy with a strong female protagonist. Any good book about biblical scholarship, which is a hobbyhorse of mine. Most especially, books by anarcho-primitivists, neo-tribalists, and others who see the urgent problems inherent in civilisation. Authors of note in this category: Daniel Quinn, Derrick Jensen, and Jerry Mander.

(b) Playing By Heart, A Wrinkle in Time, Dead Poets Society, The 5th Element, Empire Records, The Last Unicorn, Splendor, Toys... lots more.

(c) Jewel. Lots of Jpop. Kate Bush. Dar Williams. The Levellers. Lifehouse. Irish Traditionals. Filk. Deirdre Flint. Steven Burns. Celtic Rock. Motown. G-Funk era hip-hop. Modern hip-hop. Modern pop. K'naan.

d) Oranges, Pizza with mushrooms and black olives, Lasagne, Big salads, Baked potatoes, Cheese and Crackers, Pastry.

hrmm... estrogen, antiandrogens, the internet, unlimited nights and weekend minutes, my friends.

Life, Love, politics, how to translate my thoughts into human language, the people I care about, and myself.

Chillin' with my wonderful son

err... private?

you think I might be someone you'd like to know.
