So we all hate filling these out-- consider this the obligatory bitching about awkwardness.
Moving on-- I'm completely devoted to language/linguistics and the pursuit of new perspectives and knowledge. I'm flamingly left-wing, but I don't feel the need to go on the attack in this area-- while I am firm in my beliefs I don't feel the need to shout them from the rooftops generally (yes, I'm aware of my own contradiction in declaring my views and then saying I don't feel the need to do so, just letting you know that birthers need not apply.)
Love art, adventure, nature, and intellectual exploration, particularly in the many dizzying heights of the Ivory Tower. I love post-modern psych and specialize professionally in the mental health peer movement.
I also am seeking a nihilistic sense of humor to match my own, because as Kurt said, "we're really just all here to fart around." Might as well have fun while we do it!

I'm looking forward to eventually finishing graduate level work in post-modern psych and continuing to work in the peer movement, affecting change in the norms and taboos of current traditional psychiatry.
Somewhere in there, I want to have as many outrageous adventures as possible, both states-side and internationally, building on the little bit of exploration I've enjoyed in France and Spain.

Catch-22 much? Gag, bragging, however I should recognize my own skills... should I come off as pompous so be it.
Writing, reading people, language, exploring new art forms, and, well, I'm damn good in bed.

I have no idea. No, actually, probably my tits.

Obviously Kurt Vonnegut. Also, Atwood, Derrida, Zizek, Dostoevsky, Nietzche, Duras, Kafka, Philip K. Dick, Bradbury... to name just a few authors.
Music? Folk/Indie, particularly local as I love festies, especially when Grace Potter comes to town. Additional favorites: The Mountain Goats, Yonder Mountain String Band, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, etc etc etc

spontaneity, a library card, coffee, critical theory, spring, and a darkroom.

I spend a lot of time trying to trick myself that it is worthwhile to engage in consensual reality.

Often enjoying the local VT brews with friends and enjoying whatever local music is around (and if there is no one playing that sparks our interest, getting together to make our own music.)

I'm totally batshit crazy, enjoy surrounding myself with other out-there people, and really wouldn't have it any other way.

You've actually bothered reading what I've written and you are intrigued....
