Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I like film, literature, indie rock, social justice, sushi, literary theory, feminists and feminism, queer theory, gender deconstruction, autumn, dressing in layers, striped socks, knee-high socks on women, knee-high socks on me, Other Music, the Kids in the Hall, Jackson Pollock, Constantin Brancusi, Julia Margaret Cameron, Bruce Timm, fleeting moments of transcendence, making out, and Danskos. I taught myself how to read at age three. I tend to make passes at girls who wear glasses. I make really great mix CDs. I always cry at the end of Fargo. Pretty much from Marge's speech in the police car onward, without fail.
