Greetings!

Basics I'm Ruth, I'm 26 and I live in Oregon, USA.

I'm married to my lovely husband Luke of a year and a half and we have a semi-open marriage.

Occupation I'm a substitute teacher, I am an consultant with Arbonne International, I help make styluses for iFaraday and during the summer, I was (and possibly will be again) a coordinator for a summer day camp for kids.

Hobbies and Interests I do medieval reenactment with the Society for Creative Anachronism, I love reading, sci-fi, fantasy, history, random non-fiction etc. I watch a fair amount of TV (HIMYM, Glee, OUAT, Grimm, Castle, Bones, Fringe, True Blood, Doctor Who, Torchwood, New Girl) and can squee with the best of them, but I don't post too often about my TV watching. I am a little bit of a painter, mostly medieval inspired, but between a new book on water color and my great grandfather's old art supply box, I have aspirations of new mediums!

I'm a musician (I studies music as my Bachelor's degree), classical and jazz voice, and I have studied violin for 22 years. *points to icon* That's me and my violin at an SCA event.

I role play (currently D&D 4th E [don't judge! I didn't pick it!], Serenity and 7th Sea, hopefully soon to be adding a 3.5 or Pathfinder game).

I've recently become a pretty avid yoga practicer, and I am very much in love with yoga right now.

I love to travel as much as I can afford, and I've always dreamed of far away places.

About Me I am a liberal non-denominational Christian, with some New Age spirituality leanings. I enjoy learning about tarot, astrology and numerology, and believe that those things have power.

I am a social liberal and mostly an economic liberal as well, and while I am an active citizen, I don't focus too much on politics because it would suck me in and make me very very angry.

As far as personality, I am independent, loud, opinionated person, who is also fairly empathetic and intuitive. I'm a good listener, and can either give hard advice, or just listen without judging depending on the needs of the situation. I'm a bit silly, and I believe life is better with sound effects. I am a natural leader and have a fairly high opinion of myself, but I still recognize my sizable flaws.

About My Journal My journal is 18+, in part because I'm a licensed teacher, and I don't want to 'corrupt' teens, but also because I very much use it as a personal journal. I talk a lot about my life, what I've been up to, issues that have come up for me in my relationships, things I'm thinking about. I also post a little bit of fandom stuff, occasional memes, and sometimes links or articles I come across online.

I read DW every couple of days, and do try and be a loyal commenter and reader.

Looking ForI'm looking for folks in their twenties or thirties who would want to actually get to know a person, and to read and comment, maybe who have something in common, or maybe who want to learn about someone they don't have anything in common with.

Naturally I died from exhaustion after that. xD Life.

My whole immediate family is comprised of music teachers - I've felt isolated by not having the goal of education, but of course fame and prestige of being the first oboist everywhere. xD AND involvement in politics - I do so much for my college's Off Campus & Commuter Association it's crazy.

PAINTING :D My sister is a photographer.

Regarding D&D4e, I came in at 4e too, but no immediate friends like it - more 3.5 and Pathfinder, interestingly enough!

I love Pilates but there is no time.

Politically I am just beginning to read the NYT and think about it. /fail

LIFE IS BETTER WITH SOUND EFFECTS

My journal is 18+ too but just in case I end up accidentally talking about mature concepts. I think it's just a general community outreach whenever I have time to put content on it, although I try to find time to write fiction besides. That doesn't happen.

So I would like to better meet you ^_^

I think we've got a bit in common- not least of which is painting, reading, Who/Torchwood, the violin (just started this year though!) and yoga.

If you don't mind a non-theist, I'd love to get to know you!

...I am a bit older than the age range, but we seem to have a number of common interests like SCA stuff, left-leaning, and singing: I'm into rock and roll primarily, friends with old rock singers, things like that, and enjoy any sort of singing and music (barring a few things like abusive rap, etc.)...

...I gave you access so that you can see what I write about, and since it does not seem to let me make individual entries more public than 'access list'...
