My Self-Summary

I like to balance my deep, intelligent conversations with goofy, Kindergarten-aged humor. I have a good vocabulary but awful spelling. I giggle when nervous, but not when I think something's funny. I'm funny, but less in a witty one-liner kind of way and much more like a situation comedy. I love things that are sensual and tactile and using my hands. Otherwise, I am a giant contradiction. I vary between extremes. I like a ridiculous adventure, but if the adventure isn't ridiculous I'd rather stay home. I like art, but if the art isn't in your face, I'd rather be practical. I can handle romanticism, but if it isn't completely dripping I'd rather be a pragmatist. I am an activist who wants to go out and experience the world, but if I can't experience something 100% I would rather sit and observe.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm attending law school which is...special.

I spend my free time denying the fact that I am in law school - as though law students actually get free time - by being vaguely crafty, musical, literary and artistic. Occasionally I pretend my name is Mishka and that I don't speak English so that I can peoplewatch more effectively. In my own little world, I'm a spy.

I love traveling but I also like coming home. Sometimes I speak French.

I’m really good at

I make a pretty mean guacamole.

I'm a better editor than I am a writer. Trying to get back into the literary scene that I was a much larger part of before my life was dedicated 150% to law school. Trying to get into a number of scenes, in fact, meet some new people, discover some new things around this tiny, dry (figuratively, anyway), crass and, let's face it, kind-of-noir village we call Boston.

The first things people usually notice about me

I somehow vary between the intimidating Amazon and the crazy spaz-attack that doesn't know which way is up. I'm almost always hilarious, though very rarely intentionally.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World (no kidding, it reads like a novel), 1984, Mrs. Dalloway, Cry to Heaven, The Country Between Us, Street of Clocks, The Peacock's Egg, Les Fleurs du Mal, Autobiography of Red, and generally any other random books of poetry I manage to pick up, as well as a lot of political non-fiction, and of course Harry Potter;

My favorite poet is actually my best friend. She's not published in print...yet.

Quills, Moulin Rouge, Anchorman, Hot Fuzz, Taladaga Nights, Supertroopers, Blades of Glory, The Pillow Book, Down with Love, Hamlet (the Kenneth Branagh version), Much Ado About Nothing (also the Branagh version), The Lives of Others, Ever After, Airforce One, Independence Day...probably a lot more I'm not thinking of.

Music - this is an 18 hour long conversation. I do not dare discuss it here.

As for food, I like almost everything. Oink.

And Jack Bauer (as in 24). Jack gets his own category.

The six things I could never do without

1. Yarn
2. Climate control
3. PJs
4. Dangly earrings
5. Public transportation
6. Eyelids

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Politics, law, governance, democracy, crackpot social theories, crackpot psychology, crackpot literature, poetry, American music, globalism, what to watch on Netflix, knitting, and how much I love Flight of the Conchords.

On a typical Friday night I am

Typically doing something social like grabbing coffee or drinks with one or a few close friends. I got over the clubbing/big party scene pretty fast though I'm not opposed to something swanky every once and a while. Sometimes I'll stay home and do something artsy or sit in a cafe reading or making crafts. My friends and I hit the occasional poetry reading on Fridays.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

If it was between saving a puppy and saving a baby...I'd totally save the puppy.
