East coast attitude meets west coast gratitude. My crunchy is punchy. I'm silly. I give a motherfuck about a lot of goddamn shit.

My daily challenge is to focus on feeling gratitude and amusement in greater portions than frustration and disgust. I do okay most days. The puppy sure helps. So does my kick-ass partner, lemotjuste; if you like boys, have a look-see.

I identify as a queer dyke -- as well as an advocate, a scientist, a subbie switch, a nerd, an Italian American, and a puppy mama.

Working in public health is at times an adventure, and at other times it is horrifying. To balance things out, I'm growing a Boston terrier in my kitchen. Climbing up walls and rocks is exhilarating. I'm also trying to go outside more, cook more, read more, relax more.

Making you laugh. Wrangling a small dog. Organizing. Making up dramatic improv songs about mundane things. Making you cry. Doing fun things for cheap. Navigating MUNI. Making you feel better. Poop jokes.

I'd like to be really good at: Cooking. Dancing. Flogging. Dressing. Cycling. Swimming. Gardening. Artistic-ing. Teach me?

I'm probably talking to myself or laughing.

Reading: Mostly fiction, pop psych, and the NYT
Movies: Yes, please!!
Shows: Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead
Music: Artists with rock and folk roots
Food: I am a gluten-free omnivore

A motherfucking sense of humor. An intellectually-stimulating career. An urban existence. A country escape. Movies. And hugs.

What is wrong, and how can I make it better? Also, lolcats.

Relieved.

I have had three submissions published on Pants Lock. You have been warned. I will cut a bitch.

Currently, I am seeking experienced kinksters with whom to play and learn. I am a switch and enjoy impact play, pain, humiliation, and bondage, among other scenarios.

And now, the bonus round! Extra points if you're:
* Queer
* A smartypants
* In another open relationship
* Dryly humored
* A dog owner or dog lover
* Not a pretentious douche

I can tell if you're sending the same message to all the girls, by the way, so stay cool but be genuine.

Godspeed! I met my partner here; you can have amazing experiences through this site if you're open and patient.
