funny, witty, warm, outgoing, in love with good food, good wine and good art and lots of awesome friends!

binging on Netflix tv shows, reading, writing, teaching the children, listening to loud music while I dance in my apartment half dressed.

cooking, potlucking, reading fast, watching music videos for hours, pretending i understand big ideas. laughing, a lot.

I am usually laughing. Or singing something that's stuck in my head.

mysteries, Jennifer Egan, Denise Mina, Jonathan Safran Foer, Toni Morrison and tons of other authors. I also dig on feminist, queer and critical race theory.

rom coms, thrillers.

Ally McBeal, Veronica Mars, Hung, The West Wing, Project Runway, The Good Wife, The Forsyte Saga.

Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, The Throne, Tori Amos, k. d. lang, Leonard Cohen, Marianne Faithfull, The Killers, Florence + the Machine, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, P!nk, Chrisette Michelle.

salad, tea, mangoes, avocados, plums, red beans and rice, wine, vodka and cranberry juice, pesto pasta with chicken and broccoli, asparagus.

1) music
2) tea
3) books
4) friends and family
5) dancing
6) movies (good and so bad they're good).

whatever song is stuck in my head. Social justice, sexual politics, song lyrics, song lyrics, song lyrics, queer theory, my lifelong search for the perfect pair of purple skinny jeans, song lyrics, song lyrics, Rihanna.

drinking vodka and cranberry juice and people watching with friends. or going to a movie, or dancing. i love dancing.

I own an obscene amount of pairs of underwear. I'm even in an underwear of the month club.

you like going to coffee shops or making food together, or if you think there's a great movie we should go see!

I love meeting new people! I love distracting myself from work!
