I can't tolerate hate. I'm from the generation they called X. I was born just in time to see "Star Wars: A New Hope" in theatres the first time and have it make a huge impact on my imagination. Tori Amos is one of my favorite musicians!

Hobbies: reading; writing; listening to and performing music; making greeting cards; baking; curling up with my kitty; soaking up as much of nature as I can; wishing on falling stars/stargazing; watching great movies; finding ways to improve myself; meditation; spirituality; seeking out laughter; candle lit aromatic bubble baths; comfy fuzzy pajamas, shoujo/sci-fi/fantasy & other anime, other cultures, taking the time to get people gifts they want and can use; asian cinema subtitled; waking up at the end of a really great dream so i remember it; keeping a journal; cardio/yoga workouts; the awesome thunder & brilliant lightning of summer storms that roll across the deserts of the southwestern US; catnaps in the sun, stoping and smelling the roses; working to not take anything for granted; serving others with kindness and humanity; and spending time with my friends & loved ones.

Traveling is a hobby I hope to get back to. I have been to Mexico, Fiji, Samoa, Canada, UK and Ireland--but long to see Australia, Nepal, Japan, China, Africa, NZ, and Iceland to name a few.

I was diagnosed with treatment resistant depression at 21, thus my screen name. It is a battle, but has given me strength and made me who I am--not all of it was bad. I fully intend to have more than 21 good years as I am survivor! I'm on the upswing again.

Currently I am back in school--taking an art class, poly-sci and whatever else I end up interested in. I have ~15 years experience with software development.
