Normally one would find me barefoot in a skirt, getting my hands dirty nurturing one plant or another wearing a smile. I'm an optimist that yzes situations logically. ...My main occupation these days, well, I'm occupied with being human. I'm an outgoing home body that does stop to not only smell the roses but appreciate it's beauty. I love photography, making things with my hands or creating things with my mind, that never shuts off. I enjoy ancient histories, archeology, science, oceanography, travel, sociology, different cultures, places and basic human behavior....taught school for 14 years.. I categorize galaxies that stream in from space, write songs, poem, compose music, artist, painter, enjoy wood carving and sculpting, making jewelry or what not, keeping my hands busy. I really don't like this single thing cause half the joy of learning something new and wonderful is having someone to share it with..."I walk not before nor behind, but beside you, you'll find" If your curious about something about me, just ask. There's not much I won't talk about...and the worst that can happen is I'll say..is that I don't want to talk about it. Nothing ventured nothing gained.....I'll probably eat those words later... I live in the beautiful Redwood Rain Forest in an A frame cabin with a room mate [female, and also single...] and my computer is my phone so I don't have conversations that I don't want the whole world to hear..[speaker phone] What do I want from a Man? Category: Romance and Relationships This is in response to the most frequent asked questions.. .The answer...........nothing. What do I need from a man? nothing What am I looking for in a man? nothing Am I a lesbian? ha ha...no. I've admired the spirit and beauty in many women but certain laws of attraction just don't apply... Am I diseased, deformed or desperate? hahaha no. 100% pure organic mountain girl who's boo-boo's heal incredibly, and unexplainabley fast. example: fractured the right side of my knee in 3 places.walked around on it for a day and a half before I finally went in and they put me in a cast from my hip to my ankle. They told me to wear in for 6 weeks! I took it off after 10 days..hasn't bothered me since. Broken foot- 14 days. A brown recluce [fiddle spider] had me hospitalized for 5 weeks once and they were going to cut off my foot. I had no problem with that until the nurse told me I would still feel it hurting after they cut it off! They took a bone marrow sample an x-ray an hour before my schedualed sergery. They said my white blood count had excellerated to 10x's the normal rate. I was sent home the following morning.barely have a scar. I've died 3x's without phisical reprocusions or brain damage. I think.ha ha...I think you get the idea............ One thing life has taught me is if I go looking for something I often miss what's right in front of me. When I focus on on what I want, I often can't see, or appreciate what I have. When I focus on what I need, I often don't see the needs of others...and well..that just won't do at all. One of my greatest joys is fullfilling the needs of others and when it comes to relationships I'm much more in the catagory of geisha girl than an independant liberated woman. I certainly don't consider it demeaning, degrading or sexest to be a nurturing attentive companion and friend. Some of the things I've developed in myself is the healing art of total body mauge theropy and that's totally subservant and 100% all about the other guy..and I certainly don't think I'm any less of a woman for enjoying it. Now if someone had asked me what attracts me to a guy I'd of had a whole list of characteristics that ignite my mind to race and heart to flutter ha ha ha. Intellegence always gets my attention...combine that with consciencious awareness and sencitivity and you can bet I'll be paying attention.. A person that is creative, artisitic, musically inclined...now I'm excited about paying attention lol! Communication is one of the most important things in a relationship and creative people find ways to express their thoughts and feelings. This is a person who has the abuility to examine himself. That's usually a person that respects and takes care of himself and walks through life a bit more confident in my openion. That's a person that actually thrives on learning and expiriencing things in life with an open mind and a driven fascination. This kind of guy is successful in the true meaning of the word because he appreciates the best things in life, that money can not buy. A person who can examine their self is usually more honest, more responsible, more dependable and usually more intuned to the world and people around them. I usually always avoid money. I don't like having it or spending it. I'd rather have my teeth pulled then window shop. I could live on ramens in a tent with someone I loved and love every second of life.and I mean truely happy...then be rich, patronized and have my needs bought for me. Been there, done that and was some of the best times in my life! Now if your a guy like this, and single, you can bet you have my attention. If your in a relationship...well, I don't take things from people and have no desire to have someone who's heart belongs to another. That's about as unfullfilling as being rich in a material exzistance. I would still be just as delighted to know you and probably, one of the best friends you ever had...or so I am told. If your not this kind of person, I would still be delighted to know you. I have never turned away a friend and I thrive on experiencing humanity. And if your not human, don't be shy, you'll find no judgments or prejudices here. With an open minded fascination I welcome all life............. Think of me, and that thought will carry me to you........
