Hello. I'm a real, honest, affectionate, empathetic, polyamorous (able to love many and realize that people aren't property), generally mellow and sometimes quiet hippie-oid mutant seeking a female kindred spirit with whom to share a bit of life, laughter, and love that is about honesty and respect rather than jealousy. I'm into music (especially techno, jazz, international, and good old-fashioned rock and "alternative" from back when that meant something); sci-fi (not necessarily the standard TV fare--I will always be a book junkie); cats & other animals (I used to be the main humanoid advocate for five cats); comparative philosophy (I'm a Gnostic Agnostic Panvitalist with very Zenarchist leanings that occasionally cause me to fall over); language/linguistics (I know just enough Portuguese to get me in trouble, enough English to get me in big trouble, and enough Silence to know that words slice the world up into categories, but they don't always cut it for effective communication); hanging around with friends (I go for quality rather than quantity); culture (We live on a planet--not just in a country); traveling/exploring (indoors, outdoors, underdoors); geek stuff (yeah, yeah, I've "got root," but it's not got me, I promise); and lots of other things. I'm not by nature a serious person, but I do listen and mean what I say. My sense of humor is multi-colored and multi-tentacled.
