literature, rock'n'roll, social justice, bad jokes, attention-seeking, big ideas, bigger life changes.

likes: good hair, intelligence, skinny boys in band t-shirts, curvy girls in vintage frocks, people of any gender who look good in a suit. bisexuals who call themselves queer. polyamorous/non-monogamous people who aren't preachy wankers. kinky people who aren't manipulative creeps. self-mocking Guardian readers. people who own a lot of books.

reading, writing, exploring.

21 months cycling in London without dying.

self-deprecation.

I'd like to say stunning beauty or sparkling intellect or a bottom that makes Beyonce weep with envy, but to be honest it's probably the bright red hair.

recommend me a food beginning with "the"

music. books. dancing. hugs. making plans for the future. omelette.

activism, feminism, radical queer politics, whether it's accurate to call oneself an anarchist when one is scared of violence and skeptical about revolution. books, girls, interesting projects, displacement activity, what the hell I'm doing with my life. that thing where you feel like you're falling in love with someone but maybe you just think you're falling in love with them because they're so good at oral sex. you know, the big questions.

I keep getting messages telling me I'm "down to earth", I know this is supposed to be a compliment but I secretly find it deeply annoying because I would rather be perceived as a whirlwind of slightly intimidating excitement and allure.

I guess I'm admitting that I'm a tiny bit of a manic pixie dream girl. but in a good way I hope.

so one time I had this really great dream: I was reading Shakespeare in a cafe and tapping my fingers on the table in the rhythm of the verse as I read and this really attractive person came up to me and looked deep into my eyes and recited the dictionary definition of iambic pentameter. then we went back to their house, which happened to be a stately home with an indoor swimming pool, and had sex.

so basically you should message me if you're a beautiful millionaire who knows what trochaic substitution is.

also, I recently found out there's an ice skating rink just down the road from me in Brixton, which is super exciting, so you should message me if the 8pm ice disco followed by dinner/drinks South of the River is your idea of a brilliant first date. even if you've never skated before. I have a 99% success rate of teaching people to skate.
