I'm the shicksa your bubby would love...

I'm bored with Philly. I love this city but I'm plotting my escape. If you're down for an adventure I need a breath of fresh air.

I spent a summer in Moscow and a semester living in Hamburg.

I cannot make a decision to save my life.
I love to travel; 9 European countries visited and counting.
When given the option I will usually pick trying something new over something I've had/seen/done before regardless of how much I loved it previously.
I think I am the worlds least picky eater. I will try anything. Black licorice is one of the only unpalatable flavors I've had to date (I still love Sambuca though).

I love reading but because of my inability to put a book down once I begin reading I find that I never have as much time as I want for it.

If I feel uncomfortable in a situation I'm probably make a horribly awkward comment. I don't mind it though because it usually turns into a lovely little story. Once I'm comfortable I'll laugh loudly and I'm generally pretty unashamed of my actions.

I am a beer snob. I will refuse to drink PBR and Natural Ice. They are a disgrace to the name of beer.

I love my friends but lately I've been feeling rather introverted.

I think I'm quite funny but I'm not sure whether that opinion is shared by others. I tend to be darkly sarcastic and dry but wordplay and puns hold a very special place in my heart. Especially puns.

I have more clothing and accessories than any person on earth has a right to own but I'm sentimentally attached to every article and it pains me to clean out my wardrobe.

I like Knitting, Cooking, Traveling, Languages, Literature, The Vespa LX150...

I am quirky, curious, and indecisive

I graduated this past May. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with my life and floating by with crappy jobs in the meantime.

I think alcohol is great. I love beer vodka amd gin especially but I can make a mean Dark and Stormy.

That being said I was a German Major and a Russian minor at Temple University.

Drinking. You don't spend a Summer in Moscow with becoming really good at that.

I can be quite the happy little homemaker. I love hosting dinner parties and cooking for friends. I knit when I have time and I always intend to make gifts for people but never seem to finish anything. On the flip side I try to be hyperaware of sexism and misogyny. Gents, I do screen your questions for that shit so if you feel that women have an "obligation to keep their legs shaved", move on. I'm not for you.

I'm very good at smiling. I love to smile.

My eyes or my smile I think. You tell me.

My favorite philosopher is Johann Gottfried Herder

currently reading: Everything is Illuminated, J.S.Foer (finally!)

I don't really like literature written after 1930. It's been pointed out to me that this is untrue so I have to be honest with you all. I mostly just hate the beat generation of literature. I'm fine with it all conceptually but I can't stand to read it.

I hate Bukowski. I'd rather read Chris Hitchens to reaffirm my self-aggrandizing rage.

I read webcomics often, specifically: Questionable Content, Multiplex, MarriedtotheSea, XKCD, and Cyanide and Happiness.

Coffee, a kitchen, eyeliner, Dict.leo.org, my cell phone, cute shoes to explore in.

What to do with my life now after undergrad. My life is a work in progress.

Where the fuck did all my money go? Did I spend it on booze or fancy cheese this time? Shit.

Why everyone doesn't subscribe to basic feminist tenants. To me they seem like a necessary good.

It varies dramatically.

At a bar, at a party, or maybe staying in and baking cupcakes with my roommates.

If you have a cat, there is a chance I would rather hang out with it than you.

~You want to explore.
~you're looking to try some new foreign cuisine
~You often want to go drinking then realize it's far too early to respectfully start a bender.
~If this is not you : http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=914

I hate that I have to add this, it should be common sense.
If you message me, you're more likely to get a response if you say something more than just "hi" or "you're cute". This online thing dumbs everything down as it is. Put in the effort to write a line or two.
