CURRENT MISSION

To find a new way of life... along the walk of life... and to hug everyone I meet along the way...

ABOUT ME

***please read my entire profile/couch section etc***

I love life, and I love love.

I am fun. I am kind. I am entertaining. I am eager to make you smile and feel right at home. I am in general very happy healthy and sane. I like to get wild and crazy. I also love to be quiet, read and sip some tea. I love the outdoors and I looove animals. I love great music and dancing is a physical requirement. I think Burning Man is one of the best things that ever happened to my life. I dont like to label myself but if I had to, I'd think that I'm an indie-hipster-hippie-gangster-punk rock-raver-all-around-amazing human being, or something of the sort... You can judge for yourself and let me know what you think. I love to laugh and I love to love. People, art, music, dancing, food, good conversations, and connections are what excite me, make me smile, and keep me going. Sharing those things is even better.

You can check out my facebook for more info about me in a nutshell and more photos of me. Wheeeeee...

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the golden rule, and do what feels good.

"I am what I am
And what I am
Needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces"
-Gloria G

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss

"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music." - George Eliot

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens;
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens;
Brown paper packages tied up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels;
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles;
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes;
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes;
Silver-white winters that melt into springs;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
