I'm a quiet, bookish kind of girl. I spend most of what I earn on books or a couple good movies or hats. My mother often tells me that I was born in the wrong decade, and I think she's right. I think I was a vaudeville show girl in my past life. My interests range from classic literature to modern spirituality. I tend to jump around from one obsession to the next, though I'm very passionate about all my interests.

When I'm out and about, I like going to cafes and, wouldn't you know, bookstores. I spend a good deal of my time in thrift shops as well. When I get the opportunity, I like going to art museums and theatrical shows. I also use to go to a poetry group every Sunday when I lived in Texas, but there doesn't seem to be anything like that around here so maybe I'll try starting one up.

It's a work in progress. I've got a job at a gun shop/shooting range and I'm attending a nearby junior college.

I have a really great writer somewhere inside me, but I'm so creatively blocked right now, I have to work to coax her out. I'm also pretty good at analyzing literature, but it's such a nuisance and I'd rather just appreciate it for what it is.

Probably the way I dress. I have a tendency to dress outside my decade. Speaking in strictly lesbian terms, I'm probably what you'd call a femme.

Working at the shooting range.

I secretly want to be a burlesque dancer.

I'm really not as pretentious as this profile probably makes me sound. You should message me if you want to talk about anything at all.
