Kladdaugh, 42

funny, smart, fit, kind, cute I'm a Unitarian Universalist (UU). If you don't know what that is, UUA.org has all you need to know. I chose UU as an adult. I'm also a liberal, egalitarian feminist, and a socialist.

Hobbies: I play music, write, and cook (which is more of a daily skill, like laundry), trivia, and of course my various studies of interest. I don't really like sports, although soccer can be fun to watch or play, and so can volleyball or basketball. I never really got into watching these things, though. I like a good movie with a story, or a good album, or just going for a walk or meditating.

What makes me unique? I'm not sure, because on the surface I'm pretty normal. I came out of the coffin as Goth a couple years ago, I couldn't back in high school, because of the stigma, but as I discovered who I am as an adult, it just made sense. People interpret goth differently, but I'm just not like others, and I really don't want to be, because I lose too much of what makes me happy and successful. Different parts of me help me to assert and lead as is needed, but I also like to do things for someone else, like give a friend a neck/shoulder/back rub, listen, or something like that.

I am into a variety of things, but I try to live very healthily. I'm sweet and sensitive, but strong and reliable, I'm smart and patient, and I listen a lot, but am not bad about sharing or expressing myself.

Music-wise, I like a lot of classic rock, some industrial, techno & goth, heavy metal, but I also listen to certain country or pop songs or artists, as well as folk, blues, classical, and such. Music is kind of a private thing to me, but I don't mind listening with someone else, as long as they keep an open mind. My favorite song is "let your love flow."
