Interests
I like nature, gardening and I compose and record my own electronic/new age/experimental music. I have 2 Birman cats. I'm a very bad buddhist (I swear during mantras and once deliberately stepped on an ant). FRIENDS: I accept any bipolar or "suspected" bipolar person as a friend. Also those that share a specific interest, but no one else, thanks.
