About Me:
These kinds of sites are interesting environments into which to dance, because one of my main jobs in life already seems to be introducing people who need to know each other to one another. For myself, though, I like meeting people in order
to: go to festivals and events (especially as a worker/participant); study the systems of organization that festers develop there; explore the wild world (and bring parts of it home in a sustainable way and cook them); defend civil liberties and the Constitution; work for social justice; read and write; discuss philosophy and religion; learn and teach traditional crafts; drum; get naked; travel; go out for music and dancing; see movies; live communally; and generally (hey, I'm from California!) to party.

sorry I didn't think of it in time to
get his nominating papers in, but I
think we all should have chipped in to
move him back here and campaign in
earnest to make him Governor. I am
extremely apologetic that I spent time
considering any other candidate.
literally, and it's a good thing. I used
to work for an animal control agency,
and the number one most unoriginal dog
name ever, anywhere, is Bear. So it's a
good thing that Bear isn't a dog,
because if he were he'd need a different
name -- and *that's* because if there's
one thing Bear is, it's original. True,
Bear by any other name would be as
sweet, kind, generous, and caring as he
is. But he wouldn't be Bear.
eat the bear; sometimes the bear eats
you?" That's just exactly how it is
with our beloved Bear. Every night
without fail. We doubt not.
love how he is so fucking pure, raw,
honest, energetic, and spunky. I wish
I could hang out with him more often
(or at least bask in his shadow).
a slow-cooker of all foods, a one-time day-
trader, a lawyer-to-be... the list goes on.
Everywhere I go, and in everything I do, I meet
people who know and love Bear. He is
pervasive and welcome, and he makes time for
those around him. I am honored by his
friendship.
Bear, is, and will always be one of
my favorite people. I will always hold
a place in my heart for my fellow
Reedie sunworshiper! (I'd say more
but..) Bear knows more people than
the pope, has wonderfully
anti-establishment views, and I'm
waiting patiently for him to run for
office so I can cast a vote I believe in.
