Basic Info
Bio
mostly friends only except for:

  • political posts
  • other random news/blog articles
  • international travel posts
  • some photos/videos
  • indigo girls/live music posts with very little personal information about me

    if you want to read anything else (including the bulk of my indigo girls concert going posts), i will need to add you as a "friend." i am pretty free with who i friend as i use filters a lot.

    i've seen the girls over 200 times all over the world. but there is so much more to me than just that. i am an avid international traveler, and my goal is to visit 192 countries. i am well on my way. i am also a soccer fan, writer, reader, blogger, photographer, etc. i am very politically and socially involved, and am very liberal. i try to live as eco-consciously as possible; i ride my bike as much as i can and recycle just about everything. i majored in japanese in college, but i despise manga and anime. i have lived and worked abroad and currently live in san francisco, the greatest city on earth. i am queer (that is the closest thing to a label that i will give myself) and am fascinated by issues of gender and sexuality. when i am not at work, asleep, or traveling the world you can often find me running (or most likely, biking) around san francisco, at a concert, doing pilates, running, or drinking good (and only red, thank you very much) wine. eventually i want to earn a PhD in international relations/foreign policy and work for various NGOs and possibly in the foreign service.

    Amy Ray and the Volunteers are Love (colorbar by [info]emilyevangelist, all photos by me)


    here are *my* lyrics ("world falls" by amy ray, indigo girls), and here's where i got the title for my blog:


    i'm coming home with a stone strapped onto my back
    i'm coming home with a burning hope turning all my blues to black
    i'm looking for a sacred hand to carve into my stone
    a ghost of comfort angels breath to keep this life inside my chest
    this world falls on me
    hopes of immortality
    everywhere i turn
    all the beauty just keeps shaking me
    now i woke up in the middle of a dream scared the world was too much for me
    sejarez said, "don't let go just plant the seeds and watch them grow"
    i've slept in rainy canyon lands cold drenched to my skin
    i always wake to find a face to calm these troubled lands
    this world falls on me
    with dreams of immortality
    everywhere i turn
    all the beauty just keeps shaking me
    now i'm running to the end of the earth
    and i'm swimming to the edge of the sea
    and i'm laughing i'm under a starry sky
    this world was meant for me don't bury me
    carry me
    i wish i was a nomad an indian or a saint
    the edge of death would disappear leave me nothing left to taint
    i wish i was a nomad an indian or a saint
    give me walking shoes, feathered arms, and a key to heaven's gate
    this world falls on me
    dreams of immortality
    everywhere i turn
    all the beauty just keeps shaking me
    i'm running to the end of the earth
    (this world falls on me with hopes if immortality)
    i'm swimming to the edge of the sea
    (everywhere i turn the beauty just keeps shaking me)
    and i'm laughing, cause i'm under a starry sky
    (this world falls on me hopes of immortality)
    this world was meant for me
    (everywhere i turn)
    i've got hopes of immortality



    what i've been hearing:

    thanks, last.fm
