Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm an easy-going kind of kid. I'm veganand tend to get where I need to go on my bike or the bus. I moved back to Minnesota in 2006 with my girl after graduating from college with a (useless) degree in African Studies. Talking about poverty and public health issues turns me on. I enjoy ethnic food and iced chai. When I'm having a bad day I crave Coca-cola, dark chocolate and strawberry twizzlers, but like hugs best of all. I am a big science geek. I have a collection of old cameras and own too many books. My girl and I are non-monogamous and I'm incredibly happy with the way that is working out these days. My boy and I have a garden filled with baby plants. I get abnormally excited about their growth and development.

Sexy Spring IV (www.sexyspring.org) was awesome. I'm really excited to be part of this event because it is so much in line with my personal politics surrounding sex and sexuality. You should come to Sexy Spring V June 13th-15th!

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Who knows? I was a nanny for a year and a half, and I decided it was time to get a job with benefits, or something silly like that. I'd like to use my skills and do something good for the world and not be a corporate whore. Don't yet know what that will look like.
I'm working with preschoolers with emotional behavioral disorders. It's challenging, and sometimes I get kicked, (or scratched, or bitten...) but somehow, I still like it.

It seems that I have become a social creature, but I still like solitude. I am newly obsessed with paper craft.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

cuddling. being the cat's bed/pillow. taking care of people and being compassionate. Reading bedtime stories, making babies laugh with my attempts at dancing. vegan baking.(sometimes.) I can write fairly well, but I don't do as much as I should anymore. I like to climb trees. I often have good ideas or solutions to problems. I love listening to other people play music, but don't have much talent in that area myself. I'm relatively crafty. I'm interested in so many things I have a hard time narrowing my focus enough to become an expert at any one thing.
