Why I want to join the Temple
To meet like-minded people.
About Myself and My interests
I'm a web-developer, part-time student, amateur writer and mother of four boys.

I love singing, writing, cooking, reading, art, swimming in the sea, walking in the country, skiing, horse-riding, rowing, the sky and sex.

I'm passionate about philosophy, psychology, ancient history, etymology, anthropology and neuroscience; and I love anything that makes me think twice, reevaluate my world view, or drop a false notion or two about life/myself.

I tend to speak my mind and have been told I can be a bit blunt, but I don't mean to offend anyone (usually!). Independent/critical thinking, authenticity and honesty are qualities I respect.

PLEASE, if we become 'friends,' do not fill my inbox with non-personal/generic/mass messages when you have nothing to say to me directly - a blog is a better way to express these sentiments. Also, please do not fill my comment box with sparkly images unless, again, you have something to say to me personally. Thanks!
