I'm just looking for one, divine hammer.

Hey guys! Just so you know, my profile name is not a nod to RVs or RV culture; it's a play on my town and my name. (And you'd be surprised how many people ask).

Now, here's a little story I got to tell:
I love music, but am pretty particular about what I listen to (and especially what I don't) and love hearing and seeing new bands or old faves.
I practice and teach yoga, and it is a huge part of my life. This doesn't mean you have to be in to it too, but that would definitely be a bonus if you are. However, anyone that I could consider spending legit time with must absolutely respect my commitment to it.
I love volunteering for my favorite causes (although I'm no Mother Theresa), and stand up for what I believe in.
I've decided I want to be a mix of Debbie Harry and Hillary Clinton when I grow up.
I still feel sad about MCA whenever I hear the Beastie Boys.
I'm way more Liz Lemon/ Tina Fey and Leslie Knope/ Amy Poehler than anyone else I can't name because they aren't even half as cool or worth mentioning.
I say "I love you" a lot--and mean it.
I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does.

I've been thinking about this, and have loosely thrown together some free-form thoughts about myself and my life:

The yogi in me sees the world as an endless opportunity; the realist in me is skeptical that any of that beauty will ever be realized; the music snob in me doubts I'll ever find my musical equal; the feminist activist in me fights any convention to conform; the sell out in me likes being able to pay my bills on time; the control freak in me worries that disclosing all these eccentricities will out me far more than disclosing my very specific, detailed laundry regimen ever could; the elitist in me knows that any dude who's looking at this probably stopped reading after "feminist"; the optimist in me knows there are male feminists out there; the skeptic in me knows that dude is either already involved and/ or most definitely nowhere near the 804; the dinosaur in me wonders if this method is really more productive than traditional methods or if it will yield greater results; the grammarian/ English major in me is appalled at this run-on rant; the Virginia Woolf-ian, stream-of-consciousness writer in me thinks it's a-ok; the dreamer in me thinks that my dream amalgamation of Barack Obama, Dave Grohl, Jemaine Clement, Bret McKenzie, and Jon Hamm is out there, and I am his dream girl; the existentialist in me knows it's all random.

Not gettin' hassled, not gettin' hustled. Keepin' my head above water, makin' a wave when I can.

I have a 9-5 corp gig, teach part time, and co-own a business. I have very little free time, but try to take advantage of the free time I do have.

Also, rooting for squirrels that run across the street.

expressing my opinion, knowledgeably and unapologetically.

Taking care of the people that take care of me.

Dr. Mario for Gameboy (the only video game I care about; I don't want to give it away, but there's a fantastic surprise that happens after level 19).

Finding random shit on the ground.

my height

The unquestionables (my dogs, my friends, my family, my music), yoga, my phone, ice cream/ candy, Palmer's cocoa butter (swivel stick and lotion), NPR

candy

and napping

and if Jeff Buckley is really trying to contact me from beyond as I clean my house (I'm 47% serious about this)

and Laduree macarons

and how I can be such an ardent Feminist but love me some 2 Chainz and most Dirty South rappers

doing yoga followed by dinner with friends. And then staying up too late watching (rock) documentaries.

My only weakness is...well, nevermind, nevermind.

Sometimes I eat 3 gummy vitamins as opposed to the daily recommended dose of 2.

And sometimes I feel like I'm living Exile in Guyville.

...you vote Democrat;
...you were equally as devastated when Morrissey cancelled his most recent tour;
...you've been to at least one live show in the past year and want to go to another before the year is over;
...you can name 5 British bands whose music you would want to have with you on a deserted island;
...you believe (like me) that the world would be a better place if everyone read/ listened to Dan Savage;
...whenever you see "The Two of Us" tab on here, your mind immediately goes to "together again, it's just the same, a stupid game.";
...you know what ellipsis are, and know how to properly use them;
...you get it.
