My hobbies/interests include: fruit - eating, growing, carving, discussing, etc.; Permaculture & wildcrafting; organic farming; fitness, dancing, weights & exercise; communing with Nature, people & the universe; helping; creative stuff and more. I tend to be a hard-core do-it-yourselfer in life, finding joy in the process as much as the product.
My ideal lifestyle would be to spend my days in nature, picking and eating fruit and greens, making love, dancing, making music, making pretty things with natural stuff, and basically frolicking around, sometimes nude. I am headed back towards a simple life in nature, yet have been intellectual and have quite a bit of technological skills and knowledge. My future is a blend of the two; simplicity is key.
I eat fresh raw fruits and greens primarily, as well as some veggies, nuts and/or seeds at times and love the food, simplicity, and results in my health and happiness. I don't expect you to do the same, but it's always terrific to share great raw food with someone I like. :) You can read more about my raw journey and such at my raw website: JungleJanie.com, which has all sorts of stuff about my raw story, including journals and blog.
Even though I prefer nature and natural living, I can and do appreciate movies, the Internet, arts and crafts, music, travel and more.
I am part of the Essene Church of Peace. I am a "slave" to four should-be-illegally-adorable guinea pigs, one rabbit that captured my heart, and a very whiny cat.

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
most fruit, fresh picked by me, while still in the tree :)
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
I think I covered that in the "About Me" section... have quite varied interests, like bizarre stuff too
Favorite Books or Authors:
besides how-to ones to fuel my do-it-yourselfiness, I especially like things that get you thinking about it when not reading & you remember for years later, stuff like: Harold & the Purple Crayon; Dorrie the Witch series; The Phantom Tollbooth; Nineteen Eighty-Four; Diet for a New Planet; Flatland; Fit for Life; Bradshaw on the Family; Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; fiction by Tolkien, Kurt Vonnegut, & Anne McCaffrey ; Woman on the Edge of Time; The 80/10/10 Diet; The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book One; and loads more...
