Its really hard to sum myself up, but I can try by saying that I am really into Burning Man and the celebration of life, art, creativity and personal being that comes from being part of the Burning Man community is pretty much the sole focus of my life. Go to www.burningman.com if your not familiar with it. Burning Man for me, really is all about community and to me it is a community which accepts, incorporates, offers and understands all of my interests and is not judging or negative about any of them. I can be 100% myself and not have to walk on eggshells or crouch my words or actions and I am welcomed with open arms and hugs and am told that not only is my being a freak is not only accepted, but is welcomed and appreciated and everyone else there is a freak as well and in my own opinion we need to learn to celebrate the freak in us all, the freak which brings out art, creativity, alternative sexualities and relationships, and makes the world a better place.

My two most favorite quotes are:
Without deviation from the norm there is no progress - Einstein - to me this is the key to why being a freak is important

A bell is a cup until it is struck - Redbox - To me this says that you can be anything you want to be by giving it a purpose, in other words you are what you make of yourself, you can be a glass blower, an artist, a rocket scientist, a pornographer, a teacher, a volunteer, you name it, you control your own destiny, never let anyone tel you what you have to be or what path you have to take, be your own person and live your life.

I am highly sexual and extremly interested in sexuality, alternative sexualities and fetishes, polyamoury, loving many and having multiple partners (both sexual and relationship wise) and I am extremely interested in gender, gender politics and being a gender warrior. I really dislike and have great issues with how human society through the ages up to present day, we are told that we have to do or not do certain things, act or not act certain ways, dress or not dress certain ways and so on, all because of our gender. It would be far to lengthy for me to explain my view on gender politics here, but in short, I feel i should be able to do want I want and dress how i want regardless of the shape of the flesh between my legs, gender is in the brain, we were all female in the womb and in my opinion that we are all both genders and bisexual in the brain, but to varying degrees and that it is nurture, more than nature which then determines our gender and sexual identity after birth.

Plus on a more whimsical note, what the hell is so wrong in our society with a guy wanting to wear a skirt ? I am not a transvestite, but women have some great looking clothes, and I have a pretty nice looking body and some damn sexy legs when shaved and I can look killer when in a short skirt and pair of heels. What is so wrong with that. Its not something I want to wear all the time, but why not have fun with clothing and costumes and dress how you want, to me all clothing is unisex, just enjoy it and have fun and be sexy.

I am also highly interested in sexuality/gender/polyamoury /fetishes on an intellectual level and have been all my life, ever since I can remember (most likely after coming into puberty) I have had an extreme and passionate interest in these subjects and more so than just your average teenage hormones and hornyess, but on a academic and intellectual level. I am highly surprised that I didn't go to college to become a sex therapist or sex researcher, but I guess my love for art and film making was more important, plus I felt that through film I could express my thoughts on gender/sex/relationships more eloquently, although I still have yet to do that.

I feel the word pervert should be reclaimed as it has all these cognations of dirty old men in rain coats going to porn stores, rather I feel it should be reclaimed like the words queer, fag and the n-word (I feel I can use the first two since I am part of those groups). Pervert as it relates to me, means someone with a healthy, adult, intelligent and passionate interest in sex and sexuality and all that encompasses it. Society has a very negative and puritan view on sex and that is something I never had and it is my goal to change that view for as many people as I can and to show that perverts can be positive, good, quality, intelligent people that function normally within society, but also have a very healthy outlook and attitude towards sex which in return makes them more physically and mentally healthy people who function better within society than people who are scared of sex and think it is evil, bad and wrong.

I am also an atheist and I since I think sex, homosexuality/bisexuality, masturbation and multiple partners (both sex and love) is a great thing I don't get along well with most religious people.
