i get overwhelmed by trying to describe myself in a neat little summary! friends and community are important to me. i am sometimes femme-y (think curve-hugging clothes and pretty hair, not high heels and pink), and sometimes more soft butch or butch wannabe. i have a nice ass and depending on who you ask, i am a little chubby (and happy that way). i am proud of my biking quads and wish my arm muscles were as nice. i'm involved with health care justice movements (medicare for all).

i want to be a nurse practitioner, am applying to schools now. i also see staying involved with community and social justice work as part of "what i'm doing with my life" and what i hope to be doing in the future - whether that is working with a formal activist group or reading and discussing stuff or just cooking good dinners with friends. currently piecing together part time jobs (no fun), health care organizing, taking 1 class (prereq for school).

My music tastes are pretty eclectic. Lucinda Williams, Orishas, Chris Pureka, Gillian Welch, Dixie Chicks, Manu Chao, Lauryn Hill, Dresden Dolls, The Gossip, Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, Kanye West, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears (yep I'm not gonna lie I definitely enjoy a good Britney and/or Justin dance party in my pjs, solo or with a friend). And lots more.

Books... I often start books but don't often finish them because I am a slow reader and/or I get distracted and pick up another book. I also spend plenty of time reading other stuff, like blogs (often queer, disability, or fat positive stuff) or articles online, short stories, etc. I've been reading 2 collections of essays that I like, "Nobody Passes" and "Yes Means Yes."

chocolate, water (not just as in a biological survival need, i like it and am always thirsty), insulin, friends, thunderstorms, exercise (broadly defined... biking, walking, dancing etc. not being holed up in a gym!)

I am late a lot. And that I'm wary of putting too many things on an online profile because someone might judge me wrong!

You are a queer guy (or a fairly butch/masculine woman/genderqueer). You understand that gender is fluid and could be attracted to someone both as a hot woman and as a more masculine person. If someone not being skinny is a good or neutral thing to you.

You are nice, and not pretentious about art or being a vegan.
