Burning Man (duh!), Drag (duh!), Spirituality, Arts, Veganism and Ecology. I breed and show dogs, Basenjis and Silky Terriers. I love to travel, and my goal is to do one international adventure trip (not leisure) every year. I haven't made any plans for 2009 yet; we'll just see what happens.

Hellgate High School
Missoula, MT
Graduated: 1978
Student status: Alumni
Degree: High School Diploma
Clubs: I was a geek the first 2 years and a stoner the last 2. I really wasn't terribly social in HS; I was too busy trying to not get beaten up. The 70's were not a fun time to be a gay teen. There were a few cool people, even a couple of cool jocks who were good to me, you know who you are.
About me: 39-ish MILF. Newly suburbanite San Francisco ex-pat.
I'm a vegetarian (mostly vegan) burner stoner Radical Faerie. I'm a malcontent and a misfit.
I'm a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, surrounded by obscurity and covered in a conundrum.
I'm a fiercely loyal friend and a formidable foe. I'm passionate, intense, loving and scary.
I'm a thief and a shit-kicker and I want to be famous. I'm fascinated by the outrageous and bored by the mediocre.
I'm hedonistic, realistic and supercalafragilistic. Sometimes at parties I can be a wallflower, sometimes I'm the party.
I can be self-contradictory and unapologetic. I can be moody and brooding. I can be very funny, sometimes by mistake. I can be frustrating, fascinating and flatulent.
Who I'd like to meet: Freaks, geeks, nerds and weirdos. Free thinkers and unbridled spirits.
Drag queens, trannies and anybody else that is pushing the boundaries of gender identification. FTM's, MTF's, M4M's, F4F's M4F's F4M's and any other alpha-numeric combination.
Whores, sluts, nymphomaniacs, celibates and cuddle-bunnies.
Fags, dykes, heteros, bis and trys.
Artists, free thinkers and gifted teachers. Rabble rousers and fearless adventurers. Smarty pants and know-it-alls.
Beach bums and bookworms. Athletes and Mathletes. Chemists and alchemists. Body builders and 98 lb. weaklings.

"Once you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens, what you can do or choose to do, or rather what life does through you. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One with Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer and you are the dance. "
"When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice — the thinker — but the one who is aware of it.
Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.
If our goal is to reach the heights of happiness then we must be willing to climb each rung, which equates to recognizing the world is not what it seems, and that everyone is the same. How can I get to the heights of happiness if I’m not willing to learn what will get me there? So the practice becomes: Practice noticing how you want to make differences real, and then forgive yourself.
