Everyday I am required to handle passports and travel documents for others, thus filling me with extreme covetousness that I am not also traveling to far and beautiful places.

I identify as queer and as a feminist. I also look like a boring law student. I am a pescatarian foodie with a penchant for delicious, dark coffees, beers, and chocolate, quantities of which I (try) to consume in equal part with homemade sushi, salad direct from the garden, and kale concoctions.

Like a pop-tart with no frosting, I come across as rather wholesome until you bite down into the tasty rainbow center.

Reading an inordinate amount of news and non-fiction.
Cooking and eating inordinate amounts of veggie food.
Riding an inordinate amount of bikes.... wait a minute...

Planning daring parties with extravagant themes, snuggling with my amazing cat Agent Cooper, or gardening with my partner, BerrylMarkham.

I'm pretty even-keeled but I dream about fantastic new ways to apply my passions every 15 seconds.

Putting the toilet seat back down after use and washing the dishes (I've been well-trained).

Snuggling, either big spoon or small spoon (not bad for a 6'1" dude).

Not hitting a single correct note when I sing along to the radio.

That I look like a normative bro.

Travel. Culture. Peak oil. School. My future. My next tattoo. What I want to eat for lunch tomorrow. Saving money. Buying land. Buying a plane ticket. New adventures. Oligarchy and the proletariat.

I recently let the oil get so low in my house that it ran out... on the coldest day of the year. (Doh).
