I'm a feminist, idealist, writer, and journalist. I strongly believe in women's rights and GLBT rights. I'm sweet and optimistic and yet also sardonic at times. Writing, reading, and words in general are an essential aspect of my existence.

teaching English, writing professionally, figuring out what I really want and improving myself as a person (and also enjoying the many cultural offerings of the city.)

telling off obnoxious, flirty men that seem to be everywhere at night in new york city. I also have a way with words.

My bright green eyes, that or my unusual fashion sense.

my direction in life, worrying that I will never fulfill my creative potential.

spending time with my friends, be it in a crowded club, a loud bar, a cafe, or a tiny restaurant.

You are an interesting, worthwhile person, capable of holding up your end of a conversation.
