ABOUT ME

Hopefully there's enough in my 'Interests' section to hint at the kind of person i am. I'm not on here much but if you're looking for a place to stay, call me at 831-262-7539 and we can see what we can do. my profile says that I live in arco. this is no longer true but I'm not sure how to change it. I now live I ammon, idaho which is basically idaho falls. that's the house and people listed in my profile and I'm sure we have space for you.

Interests

i'm changing "interests" to, "things i like." reading. writing. yoga. getting up early to drink coffee. living/working in yurts. the sound of snow sliding off a yurt. a lifestyle that allows me to pee outside as much as i do. flowers. playing rummy with grandma (i miss you grandma). warm feet, fingers and head. a good salad. learning about myself. swimming. thoughts that literally make my head jerk back because they are so new and insightful. "riding across the desert." thinking about how good things are. re-reading journal entries from years ago. thinking back to when i was a kid and realizing how little i knew. realizing how little i know now. when i shine. contra dancing. gardening. having things work out. riding my bike on a very hot summer day to the park. going to the library. going to library book sales. eating fresh and healthy, mostly vegetarian foods. milkshakes, especially anything that has a chocolate/peanut butter/caramel combination. going to bed early and getting up early, unless i'm staying up all night and sleeping through the afternoon. laying on the beach and having a wave break over me, where the force of the water spins, rolls and pummels me and my face and body get scratched by the sand. live music, especially days long festivals. being naked in hotsprings. going for a walk when it's snowing out. having cats and dogs sleep on me, preferably both at the same time. people watching. throwing a frisbee, even though i don't do any tricks. standing underneath waterfalls. any story that begins with, "you'll never believe what happened to me!" plans to make good things happen. watching baby goats jump and play. cooking and eating with friends.
