I graduated a year ago from Bennington College with a concentration in Drama, Psychology and Religious Studies. I was recently accepted to the divinity school of Columbia, but I'm not who you're thinking of when you think of "seminary student". I am very open minded and liberal and have a pretty damn good sense of humor. I believe religion should be liberating and empowering, not restrictive and guilt-mongering. Nobody has it right, we are all seeking truth and goodness in our lives and different paths work for different people. I love having conversations about what religion is and could be in American society, and if you hate organized religion, there's a good chance I might be able to change your mind about a few things.

For now I'm deferring my acceptance to Columbia. I want to spend a few years traveling and exploring before I settle down into the school routine again.

I really want to meet someone who is reliable, very open and loving, and who shares my off-beat sense of humor. I am ultimately looking for a person with whom I can share all of myself, and have no secrets: a best friend who knows me inside and out, including all of my flaws, and loves me anyway.

I really love trees.

I collect antique books.

I'm going to do big things with my life.

I am currently working on starting up my own handmade jewelry business! You can check it out here:

More goals for the coming year:
-travel to Asia and live in a Buddhist monastery for a few months.
-do some acting in NYC.
-grow an extensive garden of all kinds of herbs, fruits, vegetables.

crocheting. being a couch potato. starting conversations about things you're not supposed to bring up in casual conversation,
especially politics and religion. over-analyzing things.

Instead of writing out a long list of all the books and authors I love, I will say simply this: The Little Prince is my favorite book, I can recite hundreds of lines of Shakespeare from memory, I love poetry, and recently I've been reading mostly non-fiction.
Also, Hemingway is good.

My favorite movie is Amelie. My favorite screenwriter is Charlie Kaufman. And documentaries make my world go round.

GAME. OF. THRONES. Also: Dexter, Arrested Development, 30 Rock (I am Liz Lemon without the sexual hangups), Bob's Burgers, Twilight Zone, Monty Python's Flying Circus

I love everything from The White Stripes to Simon & Garfunkel. I'm also a jazz/blues/soul kind of gal.

Cheese is the best thing ever. EVER.
Except maybe wine. Wine is beautiful.

Plans for the future. How to be happy. What it means to be a good person.

-you aren't an asshole. THIS IS KEY.
-you have interesting and challenging things to say.
-you love the world and want to make it better.
