1. You've gone rather hippie on us all, what prompted this? :o)
i had ppd pretty bad, and was afraid to take meds for it. j was seeing a doctor at the time who suggested to the both of us that we try to cut out preservatives and take flaxseed oil. it kinda grew from there. i feel so healthy it's addictive. and man, organic just tastes better.
2. You've mentioned before that you'd like to have another baby, and I'm wondering if sometimes you think about the population explosion and the world resources and ever feel guilty? (I do sometimes and it's probably the reason why I'll end up limiting myself to the two kiddos I already have, except having children is kind of addictive!).
i do feel guilty. buti also understand natural selection. j and i were talkign about this yesterday and i belive that cancer is the "plague" that will thin out the gene pool. so in short - having babies is rather irresponsible, but if good people don't have them and raise them right, where will the good, kind, healthy people come from? i do want to someday adopt and do foster care as well.
3. Do you like married life? What are some of the positives/negatives, so far in your experience?
i like being married because i'm codependant, and i would worry about j leavignme otherwise. :P i like the solidness of it. the safety. but being bisexual, it's hard for me to limit myself to one person.
4. What has been the most challenging experience for you? Would you go back and change anything about the way you handled the situation (or the way you might be currently handling it, if it's something you're dealing with now)?
i'm so happy with my life rigth now, changing anything would change my life too much. my mistakes got me where i am today. besides, i'm all about Chaos. wishing things were different is no conductive to my life philosophy.
5. You seem to be somewhat spiritual (not in the traditional sense of the word, though). What's your view of religion in general?
organized religon is dangerous and creepy. i believe in Archetypes, and Spirits. i also belive in reincarnation, the collective unconcious and Fate.
by archetypes i mean things like Coyote, Raven, The Fool, The devil, Fate (the wheel of fortune), etc. i was wiccan once upon a time, but it's not chaotic or mean enough. there ARE forces that like to fuck with you.
