I have lived in Portland for about a year and a half. I moved here (from Chicago) because I needed to spend some time in a world where people want to help the homeless and want to see change happen. I wear glasses and work too much. I love cooking and baking from scratch, a good beer, really bad (mind-numbing) television, passionate people, great conversation, pet rats, children, leggings and hoodies, football, running, people who challenge the way I think, music, the rare occasion where there is thunder and lightening, and brunch.

Hmm.. If you are asking employment, I am a social worker. I work in Alcohol and Drug Counseling but some day I would love to either run a Needle Exchange Program or be a Professor. I am a fairly logical person so the philosophies of harm reduction and needle exchange just make the most sense to me, in-terms of realism about substance use and the transmission of BBPs. Passion is important to me. :)

Baking vegan cupcakes and hummus.

Probably that I am often wearing a lot of royal blue or teal.

I love Abbie Hoffman's books, books about the 60's, about revolution and social change. I am currently reading the book Radical Acceptance. I started reading it because one of my clients mentioned the philosophy but I am finding great opportunities for self awareness in the reading. As for movies and TV, I like a wide variety of both that would be too much typing. My favorite show is My So Called Life and my all time favorite movie is Clueless. Alot of what I watch is for entertainment purposes. Now music, that is important. My favorite genre is Folk Punk. I also enjoy the singer song writer style and for (hopefully) obvious reasons will never stop loving the music of the 1960s. Food. I love to cook! I am strictly vegan and love eating delicious meals and cooking and baking.

When i get to crawl back under my covers. It's been a long week.

At a show drinking beer with friends or in watching a movie. Something to wind down from a hectic week for sure.

I think people read me as sarcastic when in reality I just think people are more intelligent than they actually are. I don't believe I do it on purpose but I occasionally find I am not actually being sarcastic... Logic.

If you like witty, (dry) sarcastic ladies who love to bake, cook brunch, nap, and awesome company.
