My Self-Summary

I'm a self-described queer bisexual femme who is equally happy in jeans and pretty dresses. I read fine works of literature and romance novels at the same times, and I pride myself on not being at all pretentious (despite having been an English major). I love baseball, cry at sappy movies, and will debate politics until the cows come home (apparently I also like hackneyed old-school phrases). I adore civil debate but I'm also a firm believer in respecting other people's beliefs. Sometimes I'm a contradiction, but it works once you know me.

I just went to my very first Boston Pride. Clearly, someone should have kicked me in the pants about three years ago so I could have experienced the awesomeness.

What I’m doing with my life

I graduated from college this past May and, come August, will be teaching high school English. I'm terrified and so very excited.

In terms of pertinent details, I do live at home for now but I'm looking for a place as soon as I finalize a job offer. I won't make tons of money as a teacher but I can definitely pay my own way.

I’m really good at

Reading quickly (really!), debating, laughing at the silliest small things, drinking absurd quantities of diet coke, and conversing on any topic you throw at me.

Also, I have the incredible ability to look entirely innocent and harmless. Parents adore me, small children and animals sometimes flock to me. I am neither innocent or harmless, but it comes in handy to be mistaken as such.

The first things people usually notice about me

My smile. It's not elegant, it's not restrained, I look close to idiotic, but it's humanly impossible not to smile back. Same with my laugh. There's the polite giggle and then there's the deep-down-belly-laugh than causes me to gasp for air and wheeze ever-so-attractively.

But you'll be laughing by that point too, so you won't notice.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: "Written on the Body" by Jeanette Winterson, "Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien, "Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, "The Boys of Summer" by Roger Kahn, "'Salem's Lot" by Stephen King, "Stone Butch Blues" by Les Feinberg, Sappho... I was an English major! I could do this forever!

Movies: LOTR, Hairspray, RENT, But I'm a Cheerleader, Love Actually, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ever After, The Natural, Field of Dreams, Imagine Me and You.

Music: Melissa Etheridge, The Rent Soundtrack, The Fray, Third Eye Blind, Indigo Girls, Vienna Teng, Tegan & Sara, the Hairspray Soundtrack, Brandi Carlile, Sugarland, Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Missy Higgins, Regina Spektor

Food: Anything sweet, steak, and warm bread. I will admit to being a wuss when it comes to spicy food. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but I fully respect those who are.

The six things I could never do without

Books (many!)
Diet Coke
Music to Dance to
Idealism
Civil Debate
Passionate Kisses (from yooooouuuu.... oh Mary Chapin Carpenter)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

-What sort of teacher I want to be (how do I get kids to read? to want to read? how to I make education the equalizing force it should be?)
-How to fix the world (simple, put me in charge. I'm kidding. Kind of).
-Politics (see my above plan for world takeover. In all seriousness, I love the policy wonk aspects and the slippery slope of political rhetoric)
-Schedules (I am damn good with details. Want to come mess up my plans?)
-Feminism, sex-positive feminism, queer issues, how to subvert binaries and use labels without reinforcing gender limits.

On a typical Friday night I am

either

1) With my friends, staying in or going out. Going dancing, playing retro-style board games, drinking just enough to not worry about how I look dancing (which is, depending on the night, a lovely combination of skanky and silly). Making meaningful eye contact and then completely ruining the moment by tripping or some such.

or

2) Curled up with a good book or a baseball game on TV, happy to have a quiet night. Hopefully I've got someone next to me so I can argue strike calls with them.

I like a good mix.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm not sure if the "bisexual" label still applies. My last LTR was with a guy, but I'm starting to realize exactly how much more I am attracted to women. But I still have it there because I don't want to somehow misrepresent myself.

So, dudes on OK Cupid, sorry. It's not you. I'm sure you're charming. I'm just not that into you (nor am I a bad romantic comedy by that name).

You should message me if

You like people who aren't entirely simple. If you are kind and appreciate the same in others. If you're willing to take a chance.
