Interests

Traveling anywhere.
I also love the traveling part of travel - hectic bus stations, 20 something hour train journeys, airports. It makes me happy to move. Since we are spininng all the time...

LIFE / Self Exploration, People, Randomness, Meditation. Writing. History, RPGs, Cinema, Energetic Therapy, Feelings, Culture, The Evolution of Everything, Alone, Idelness, Drinking, Ideas, Religion, Ancient Myths, Surreal, Walking on walls. Going with feelings, jumping off tall things into large bodies of water,
Politics - all aspects of it, especially how the people we are supposed to trust could be so corrupt. Ireland, England, South Africa and North America most interest and annoy me in equal measure.
Stand up comedy (probably my favorite from of entertainment, well....)
Death - but its quite absurd. Enjoy life. Foreign exotic lands. Book shops. Animals, insects, birds. Properties of water.
