I like to think I am a good combination of frivolous and practical. I love gushing about trash media (example: I've seen every episode of Gossip Girl, I read New Moon in less than 24 hours) but I swear I'm also a legitimate person with ambitions of doing small amounts of good in the world where ever possible. I practice yoga about three times a week, I would love some good studio suggestions, I haven't found my perfect place here yet. Also I no longer use the word straight-edge, but I've always been drug free. I don't care if you are or not. I suppose I need to put in the obligatory disclaimer that bisexual sounds like 1994 and if I'm anything I'm queer. Also don't you dare question my feminist identity based on my long hair.

Okay I hate these weird categories so I'm just going to be honest about my whole deal. I went to undergrad at Temple University in Philadelphia where I've been living the past five years. I've recently moved to Portland to begin my Grad work at PSU and I miss my friends. I'm in an open relationship and I live with my partner. Our relationship has always been open so don't ask me annoying questions about it, I promise you, I can hang out with you/kiss you/laugh with you/maybe fuck you and my partner will be cool with it.

The bottom line is all my close (and amazing) friends in Philadelphia had OKcupid profiles, somehow I feel by creating my own profile I will meet their Portland equivalents. So please invite me to your house the night you and all your friends watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and talk about sex and gender/feminist theory.

But what I'm actually doing with my life is starting my Masters in Communications with a focus in Women Studies, being a Nanny, working for RecyleBank (oooohhh maybe you saw us on Oprah!) and volunteering at Bradley Angle (google it, you should volunteer too). I'd also like to be hanging out with you.

Geeking out about pop culture and sci-fi. Putting people in a good mood.

My most superficial fear is the first thing people notice about me is my acne. You can't tell from the pictures because I'm not going to post shitty pictures of myself, but I have acne and acne scars on my cheeks. I really don't like having long blonde hair anymore but I think it distracts from my complexion. If my skin ever clears up the first thing I'm going to do is chop off all my hair and let it go back to it's natural color.

Going along with keeping my balance of frivolousness and practicality I like to read one what I call "real person book" and then one "bullshit/pleasure book"
So recently the order has been: Susan Brownmillers "Femininity" then I reread Chuck Klosterman's "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs" because reading Chuck Klosterman is like going on a date with someone you have already decided you will not sleep with but you know being able to have in depth discussions about "Saved by the Bell" is rare so you don't want to give them up. After that I read a completion of short stores edited by Michelle Tea called "Without a Net" after that the previous mentioned "New Moon" then bell hook's "Feminism is for Everyone" but that was short so now I'm in the middle of Julia Serano's "Whipping Girl."

I see I've already rambled on more than most do in their profiles so I'll try to make this more concise. I love television and movies, highlights include: (television) Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development, Skins, and duh Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (movies) Me and You and Everyone We Know, Before Sunset, Before Sunrise, Annie Hall, The Triplets of Belleville, but also so I don't misrepresent myself I could watch Can't Hardly Wait, Reality Bites, and Empire Records everyday for the rest of my life and be happy.

Music: All I need right now is Mirah, Deer Tick, and Jeffrey Lewis

My future, our collective future.

filling out this profile apparently.

I read and write fanfiction. But only for Veronica Mars. No matter how close we become, I will never let you read it.

You read all of this. You weren't annoyed by my grammatical errors. Also I based on my profile it seems like I would talk a lot, which is true, but I am also a good listener. I just want to make some friends in Portland as pathetic as that sounds.
