The Essay

Sometimes I think of myself as an artist (or just someone who occasionally makes art). During the day I work for an awesome non-profit. At night I write poems, watch movies excessively, take the occasional photograph and play my guitar.

I am obsessed by spiritual exploration and shaping my own spiritual path. I am a well-traveled "third culture kid". If you know what that means, you should definitely get in touch. if you don't you should email me anyway and I can explain it over a cheap non-Starbucks (hopefully fairly traded) warm beverage.

The Lovetastic Interview
Were you appointed World Dictator, what initiatives would you undertake upon assuming office?

The first thing I'd do is disband all militia and destroy all the guns and weapons.

If you were God, would you be jealous or sort of more easy-going?

If I were G-d, I would be a compassionate, large dark-skinned black woman with dreadlocks all the way down her back and a loud, contagious laugh, holding world in the palm of my left hand in that space which dips right in the middle. My right hand would would place itself around the circle of humanity and gently remind humanity, remind creation of its immensity and its responsibilities to the earth.

What movies have made you cry?

In general, I have trouble crying.

Do you eat breakfast?

No. Not since I was forced to by convention and by my mother. From around age 11, those few minutes of extra sleep became more important than breakfast and I've never looked back.

Are you registered to vote?

As a "non-resident alien", I can't vote in this country but I am very much aware of how much all of us are affected for usually for worse by the leaders of this country even thogh we have no power to choose them.

Paper or plastic?

I avoid both and carry a bag around with me for groceries.... but when I must, paper.

Have you ever posted anything on YouTube?

Kind of...I once posted a black and white montage video I edited for an electronic media class I took on Google Video which is owned by Google which which bought YouTube a little while back.

Are you afraid of the dark?

Actually I think that in the dark and at night everything is more intense and more beautiful (and therefore more understandable.)

Do you look numbers up or call information? (Or Google?)

I look up everything on Google. What would we do without Google? Seriously, what?
