I am characterized by EnvirOCD (environmentalism + self-diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder), blind contour drawing, lucid dreaming, documentaries, playing games outside, playing dress up, people watching, perspective checks, tailoring clothing, climbing trees, talking trash, making art, TED.com, and being overwhelmed by everything out there in the universe that's worth being interested in. Meet me at Critical Mass in Boston - it's on the last Friday of every month. A bunch of people get together on bicycles more or less for the sake of being a bunch of people getting together on bicycles, and breaking traffic laws.

When I'm away from school, I live on the upper west side of New York. This site only works for one zip code at a time.

I'm a junior at Tufts University majoring in psychology and minoring in cognitive and brain science. Next semester I'll be abroad in Spain. What am I doing with my life? Maybe I'll apply knowledge of how the brain works to a progressive political cause. Maybe I'll expatriate and work on a farm somewhere until I rediscover my soul. Or maybe I'll avoid answering this question too thoughtfully or seriously, since clearly what I'm doing with my life right now is turning to a dating website for romance.
