currently a student of psychology with a focus on sexual studies at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. taking a hiatus from studying Japanese because requirements for graduation have taken over my credit load.

interests include reading; knitting, crocheting and all things fiber-related; anime and foreign films; spinning poi; food and drink, unconventional sexual practices; religion and philosophy; languages and witty repartee; and history.

i'm a curvy chick - while i definitely strive to be healthier, i'm not in any hurry to be skinny. i like being squishy and comfortable to cuddle, thanks so much! if that's your cup of tea, great! - but if you like girls with visible bones, then i'm not for you.

i'm fascinated by body modification, and currently have pierced ears, left nostril, and center lower lip. (the latter two have come along since the above photograph was taken. this will be eventually remedied.)

undergraduate studies, spiritual studies, working on cultivating a more healthful lifestyle.

scalp massages, the fiber arts, complicated schemes, braiding hair, remembering stupid facts, baking. procrastination redeemed by eleventh-hour Hail Mary miracles. inappropriate dinner conversation.

where i've come from, where i'm going. the ethical conundrums of polyamory. public transportation. deified abstractions.

unwinding from the week's classes. reading, cleaning, cooking. watching movies. spinning poi.

you're articulate, intelligent, funny, and/or witty. and please, that wit should extend beyond quoting trendy or artsy movies.

you're a boy who likes girls. you're a girl who likes girls. you're a human being who enjoys a friendly conversation with another human being.
