I'm usually the person who will state the obvious that everyone else is attempting to avoid. That said, I'm also a bit shy at first. I'd say I'm an intellectual, a raving feminist, an aspiring writer, a huge wise ass, an awful speller, a fabulous lover...

I'm feminine but would by no means describe myself as a lipstick lesbian. I'm irritable when it comes to shopping and fashion and you won't find me at [insert some froofroo cosmetics place] agonizing over which wrinkle cream to buy. I have an old soul and would like to find my soulmate (and yes I do believe everyone has one). I love to travel however haven't in a long time and would like to change that.

Writing is what keeps me going in life. Whether it be a fabulous day or a retched one from hell, my tendency is to write in order to survive. Whatever my mood or whatever I'm doing, writing brings me back to myself. I finally decided that if that's what I love I should find a school and go roll around in words and have a fabulous time! So that is what I plan. I've lived a lot of life thus far and throughout it all grad school has been a hope and dream.

This is all a bit disjointed and roughed up but that's ok, hope you got the general idea. I'm quirky and a friend once described me as "an awkward and adorable girl." I took this as a compliment!

I work at Barnes and Noble and plan on applying to graduate school for this coming year.

Writing... rationalizing... making myself laugh (occasionally others)... over using ellipses... ice dancing (past life)... water skiing/wakeboarding... fixing stuff (or I like to think)...

My smile and (depending on the circumstances) that I blush.

Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde (well, anything by Audre Lorde)

My favorite magazine is Bitch, but I also love Ms. and occasionally Bust. I'm definitely not into fashion magazines!

A pen and at least a scrap of paper to write on (I count that as one!), a book, a hair elastic, my sigg water bottle, chapstick, and um... honestly... sex.

Everything...

The occasional date or chilling with a friend...

I'm slightly OCD about shaving my legs.

Your gut tells you to and you love sunday mornings, coffee, the New York Times, and being in the sunshine!
