I love when people mention in their opening line that they are more than any of the words they can use to describe themselves. Somewhere in Tennessee Williams' collection of journals is a passage that I have interpreted to mean that the people who have substantial substance are those who acknowledge the various selves they have developed- whether past selves, the current self or the self we want to be- and accepts them as part of being.

Wow, that was a horrible way to summarize myself. Okay, starting over:

I was one of those people who studied English, History & Creative Writing as undergrad and enjoyed it too much. I went to UNC Chapel Hill and will currently be traveling until I find the grad school I am willing to spend too much time and money at.

For those who know the Chapel Thrill/Carrboro crowd, yes... I bike, host potlucks, attend writing collectives, go to really really freemarkets after the farmers market, am feminist, all about diy, complain about how veganism perpetuates the notion that social responsibility is solely on the consumer while I am practicing it, and so on. I think a lot of people get turned off by those things because they think it's pretentious. And now I can't include an aside saying that I am not pretentious because that would only mean that I am...

This is me starting the self summary over:

-It seems reasonable to say that I have a lot of random, diverse experiences and can be useful in many ways. Thankfully, that has translated into being a great friend (to strangers and comrades alike). What can I say...I like helping people.
-I like arguing that free will does and does not exist. My argument will almost definitely depend on what you believe.
-I write absurdist literature. I also work on plays, short stories, 4 a.m epiphanies, moleskin scribbles, zines and essaying.
-I am a romantic that often takes long sabbaticals from romance.
-I love talking about time, perception, existence, meaninglessness and nonsense. Even better with coffee or when staying up past our curfew. Almost all of my friend eventually get that "humans are fucking horribly weird" talk from me.
-I am non-monogamous and queer. Definitely ask me what this means if you do not know (often labeling hinders us from defining something because it is used in discourse without a fleshed out convo). I am primarily attracted to thinkers or remarkable, awkward people. Okc should have this as a sexuality option
-I have numerous controversial beliefs that I am terribly unashamed of.
-I can talk a lot if I'm around people who need someone to talk a lot. I can be silent and listen among the opposite. But no matter what, as you can see or assume, I write a lot. That's what the fuck I do. :)

-making vegan cheeses and yogurts that trick people
-reading several books at once and forgetting to read some all the way through. carrying around and using two moleskines (a journal and one for short stories)
-photography that isn't to prove I have fun
-dealing with trauma
-traveling once a month because I feel more insane/sane in that context
-wishing that more people participated in nonsexual naked dance parties. wishing more people had consent talks. wishing more people hated patriarchy.
-going on adventures in my RV. traveling to far places
-doing activist thangs. that takes up most of my schedule. also, hating humans and industrial civilization.

writing.
experiments.
experimentally writing.

im fucking adorably small.

-weird friends

I forgot to add ' total destroy'

Ideally-
not dancing. not on a table. not having fun.

Worst case-
At a show where the first band is just as good as the rest, or at a bar that has both cheap and good beer, or discovering new places with people who can have endless conversations.

im probably high on the neuroticism scale some days...meh

If you read a lot. I've found that those are the people that I like the most.

Or if you like my unintentionally awkward humor.
