I like cheese, Joss Whedon, good beer, and good people.

Also beards. And chest hair. Now you know!

I'm the real life Leslie Knope.

This is mainly to say that I do politics, I love my job, I generally enthusiastically enjoy life (and waffles covered in whipped cream), my emotions are pretty close to the surface, and my ideal date is Vice President Joe Biden. As long as Dr. Jill Biden is OK with it.

Seriously considering hopping into the Primer league with Texas Rollergirls.

Baking, Doctor Who facts, social media, netflix marathons

Probably the red lipstick? And after that, my charming wit. (I have no idea, I've never asked anyone!)

Anne of Green Gables was pretty formative for me. Right now I'm reading A Dance with Dragons and working my way through the Occupy reader.

My TV list is pretty long. Everything Whedon (except Angel), Parks and Rec, The Mindy Project, New Girl, Doctor Who, BSG, Gilmore Girls (clearly). Netflix tells me I like shows featuring a Strong Female Lead.

On heavy spotify rotation: Tegan and Sara, Tilly and the Wall, Marina and the Diamonds, and Hanson's new single.

I love good food. I love eating good food with friends. I'll try any food once.

Good friends, good food, good beer, shelter, running water, and electricity

Turning Texas blue, new cupcake recipes to try, what color to paint my nails, how late I can set my alarm and still get to work on time

Out with friends exploring Austin as an "adult"

Feminism is really important to me.

You think trying new cheeses at Antonellis or taking a brewery tour sounds like an amazing way to spend your time.

You aren't easily thrown by people who gush about their favorite female politicians.

You have a favorite female politician.
