I'm a pattern finder, dancer, drummer, thinker and problem solver. I try and see how things connect in ways other people don't. Sometimes I get lucky, and I find a pattern that is really useful to myself or those around me. Other times, everyone just thinks I'm a nut. I've been pretty lucky so far, but almost every mistake I do make improves me (sometimes painfully, as I hate making mistakes).

While I don't believe in all of astrology, I am a Gemini and take pride in having a lot going on in my life at the same time. I'm driven to stand out and to improve myself. I like stability and constant change, commitment and open-endedness, sensuality and self-control. I'm big on keeping promises and honesty, but also big on keeping my options open. I am super big on personal loyalty, both giving it and receiving it. I love being involved in a million different things, but I usually have a couple core activities at any one time. I hate confusion and uncertainty far more than rejection. I really like business, the crazy way it all fits together like a big jigsaw puzzle, and I like winning. I like people. But, I don't like stuff piling up in my house, so I'm not big on material things. I value the freedom to learn, say, do, think, and go wherever I want.

I almost always succeed at the thing I'm most focused on in life because I put my all into what I care about. When I stop learning something new everyday, I'll know its time to move on from this world. I'm far from perfect, many people do things much better than me, and there are things I really wanted to succeed at, but didn't, however those few failures have made me a much stronger person. I thrive on adversity. I like pretty shiny clothes, the smell of excitment and electricity just before a huge storm hits, the quiet vibrant feel of wind in a pine grove at the top of a tall hill, the busy crazy insanity of a city just waking up in the morning, and dancing so hard I feel like I'm going to explode with energy.

I am an INTJ that often acts like an ENTP. I don't like normal. I'm 6'2". I am not religious, although I lean strongly towards Deism. I get along well with Quakers, Neo-pagans, Buddhists, and other open minded peaceful people. Tribal culture is very important to me, I play hand drums (mostly for belly dancers), dance around fires, and am experimenting with fire poi (at my novice level this involves hitting myself in the head with fluffy balls on string, which is not what is supposed to happen). I like hiking, playing certain sports (volleyball, soccer, frisbee), camping with friends, and reading. I hate watching sports (unless a friend is playing).

I've been playing hand drums most of my life, although I've really only focused on it for the last five or six years. I feel I am an advanced amatuer, and have been part of stage performances as a supporting drummer several times. I am very good at becoming a better person, which is good because I would suck otherwise. I am a solid intermediate lindy hop (swing dancing) lead. I can "cook" sushi and a bunch of other tasty non-american food.
