I feel like these self-summaries usually sound either dull or contrived.

But we don't really have any other starting point, so I guess i'll just try to be honest. Happy readings!!

More often than not, I'm pretty optimistic. It takes some serious effort to get on my bad side (if I could really call it that). I try to approach people with an open mind and refrain from judgment.

Likes: arts, humanities, music, dancing, growing, adapting, learning, stopping to smell the roses, playing things by ear, surprising people, thinking about social ideals and ways to strive towards them, being, becoming, moving, shaking, deviating, stargazing, people, language, cooperating, independently operating, bartering, free-piling/scavenging.

Dislikes:

you can probably discern some more of these as your read...

I'm studying philosophy and living in a housing cooperative in Berkeley. As far as pure (planned) fun, I love to go out and dance as much as I'm able to. I also try to attend as many opportunities for live music as possible.

With no plans, however, I can typically be found in a house with friends, discussing everything from movies, to philosophy, to gender and sexuality, to social hierarchies and constructs, to systems of any sort, to people and personalities, to sweet sweet vegetarian food, anything else that's at least vaguely interesting, and sometimes even things that aren't interesting at all.

I love engaging conversations because I love to learn from the people I surround myself with.

As far as my life after graduation, my only real plan is to never sell my soul to take the most worn path. If there's anything I fear most, it's a life of quiet suburban desperation.

Writing, laughing, listening, thinking, mediating, snowboarding, costuming, crossdressing, and having as good of a time as possible with everything I do.

All depends on the setting, and who it is that's noticing. One or more of the following:

My whimsy.
My general willingness to dance and be danced with.
My occasional wordiness.
The fact that I'm in drag.
My hair.
My pants?
My magical powers.

Food: I get excited about food when a meal fits three criteria - vegetarian/vegan, balanced, and delicious. I'm not a vegetarian zealot, though, so I don't really care what other people eat. As far as the type of food, there's quite a bit out there that can be prepared amazingly, and I'm not very picky at all. The one favorite that stands out is chocolate, with which I've been enamored all my life. As far as regional food, I'm pretty partial to Indian, Mexican, and Thai.

My brain, people I love, music, reason, showers, a challenge, chocolate, opportunities to costume, and colors! I listed some extra, but oh well.

Other people, myself, language, culture, society, structures of power, food, anything, and everything.

Out dancing at a party or club somewhere, or at some live music event. On slower weekends, probably studying or staying up late and talking to people.

If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to photosynthesize. That way, I could lie in the sun all day, totally satisfied, and absorb all the nutrients I would ever need.

there's no "if" about it. Do it! Unless you're creepy...but I'm not really sure creepers self-identify, so you might as well give it a shot.
