About me:

"Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.

Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.

Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise."

Alice Walker, "Expect Nothing."

_ I'm vegan. And yeah, I think vegans should feel a bit on the elite side. Because we give a damn (instead of just saying that we do).
_ If I wore skirts, radical feminists would get them all in a twist.
_ My profile says I'm a lez, but only because swingers always spam the bi profiles. I prefer 'queer,' but if you're looking for something more descriptive, 'pansexual' is where it's at. Although I do lean toward the ladies.
_ I'm a poet, & someday I'll write my greatest lines about the kind of love that two Buddhists fall into. just wait.

: exhibiting or implying many forms of sexual expression

"Pansexuality (sometimes referred to as omnisexuality) is a sexual orientation characterized by the potential for aesthetic attraction, romantic love and/or sexual desire for people, regardless of their gender identity or biological sex. This includes potential attraction to people who do not fit into the gender binary of male/female implied by bisexual attraction. Pansexuality is sometimes described as the capacity to love a person romantically irrespective of gender. Some pansexuals also assert that gender and sex are meaningless to them. The word pansexual is derived from the Greek prefix pan-, meaning "all".

The adjective pansexual may also be applied to organizations or events. In this context, the term usually indicates an openness to the involvement of people of all genders and sexual orientations in said organization/event, not that everyone involved is, or should be, themselves pansexual. The terms "pansexual" and "bisexual" are not mutually exclusive terms, but rather pansexual is a way of defining bisexuality without necessarily denying the possibility of interest in genders and sexes such as those identifying as transgender or "genderfuck.""
