Love traveling and outdoor adventures, far flung or around the corner. I used to be paid to be a news junkie, trying to reform the habit now. Guess I'm bit nerdy generally - I overwork when I care about what I’m doing, but I'm decidedly relaxed otherwise. I've got a dry, goofy sense of humor. Admired Lisa Simpson as a kid. Wouldn't say I'm shy, but some things make me bashful, like writing descriptions of myself for strangers to read. I’m half Brit and inherited a love of wit, scones, and politeness.

In my second year of law school. It's a lot of what I do, but not everything. Before school, I worked in local politics – on campaigns and then in political consulting, helped advocacy and legal service groups get in the news and get stuff done. I'm hoping to do housing or consumer public interest legal work one day if I figure this law thing out.

Sleeping in. Being self deprecating. Sharing. Going swimming in cold water.

Probably... freckles and glasses?

Food: Really, anything and everything.

Morning coffee, eggs. Bike, hiking boots, swimsuit. Old family photos.

Cooking. It's the hobby that most survived my plunge back into student life. Love reading cookbooks, trying out new recipes, cooking for other people. And eating just about anything.

Doing something low key with friends. Maybe out and about, hopefully somewhere a little dingy but not too loud.

I tickle your fancy.
