she is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).

today as i was leaving my dr's office i met a woman who is looking for her spiritual path. she says she has found it with the jehovah's witnesses. of course that put me on edge, the christian thing and that whole converting thing, but as we talked more and as we shared with each other our beliefs we came to understand that we are a lot more alike than not. she's not gone to church yet because she wants to do more studying, i told her she should. i've a neighbor that is a witness and she gets so much out of it. i told her i was a unitarian universalist. by the end of our discussion we had exchanged email addresses and phone numbers and i am going to go to church with her and she with me. for both of us entering the other space is huge, but i think it will be a good experience.

what else? i'm going to an action tommorrow in yachats (pronounced yah-haa-ts). there is a peace rally there and then this event will peel off of it. i can't say what it is until afterwards, but lets just say i'm really excited about it.

and tommorrow night i'm going to my very first oregon women's basketball game! thanks to randy :) i've been wanting to go to one for a really long time. the team is struggling this year, but thats okay. i don't care. they rock, and bev smith, their head coach, is SUCH the babe. i've never seen her in person, i can't wait ;-)

finally, on sunday i turn 30. my stepsisters are coming down and we're going to go to dinner, and then afterwards we're gonna head to r's house where a small gathering of friends are getting together. i'm looking forward to seeing a and a and seeing my friends. i'm very lucky.

i think thats it for now. pretty bland in brooke-land.
