Living on Capitol Hill, stepping deeper into my thirties. I enjoy good food and good friends, and talking about politics, religion, gender and sexuality theory (and other sundry nerdy topics). I am addicted to Coca-Cola, Facebook, and peanut butter.

I am gracious, playful, and intellectual

I'm Interim Executive Director with a progressive, faith-based non-profit on Capitol Hill. We'll see how long I'm "interim." I walk to work. When I don't I use public transportation and car-sharing. I love it. I have my hands on a couple of other projects that bring joy to my life (and hopefully change the world); I write, read, and have mastered the Metro and buses.

Making people feel comfortable and laugh.

My height - I'm tall. Then they notice the socks I've stuffed in my pants. Just kidding! Well...maybe.

a) Anything by Denise Giardina or Anne Lamott, Harry Potter, Wicked, Bluest Eye, To Kill a Mockingbird (I re-read it every summer).

b) Fargo, Hairspray, Camp - and many more

c)Indigo Girls, They Might Be Giants, Dar Williams, Tom Goss, Jay Brannan. Musical theater should be a subcategory: Hairspray, Wicked, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Rent, Merrily We Roll Along, Avenue Q. My Pandora thinks I'm gay - maybe it's the Musicals, Lady Gaga, Pink, and Indigo Girls stations.

d) Anything except seafood - I'm afraid of crabs.

Friends, family (given and chosen), bacon, SmartPass, email, glasses.

food, peace, being late

either at home doing laundry or at Bear Happy Hour...sometimes I don't know which is better for my life...

I go to Church. A lot. You don't have to go with me, but you should be ok with it.
