I’m a carnivorous, whiskey-loving tomboy who is currently enamored with the Traveling Wilburys and enjoys playing most sports (badly). I find the smell of wet pavement intoxicating, and tend to apply the words “man” and “dude” to folks of any gender, particularly when inebriated. I prefer winter to summer, drink vitamin D whole milk, and am allergic to cats.

•Designing books (really just doing production work, but shhhhh)
•Finding cool things at thrift stores
•Going on adventures

•knowing songs and lyrics of rock music from the '50s through about the '80s.
•InDesign (page layout program)
•having a good time even if I suck at something (sports, video games, etc)

I'm really overdue for a haircut.

this nagging feeling that I need to travel more

Out with friends. I guess. Depends on the day. Aren't we kind of stereotyping Fridays with this question?

I'm here

•Are not a vegetarian/vegan; sorry, I've met lots of really nice vegetarians, but it tends to put a damper on the whole going-out-to-eat ritual
