My Self-Summary

I try to maintain a healthy balance of the macabre and the joyful. Concerned with battling apathy and boredom-there's just too many books, people, and board games to spend much time in the bars. My heraldic crest would somehow depict dancing, bikes, and helping. Child like but not childish. I can be a well spring of knowledge, humurous anectdotes, or comfortable silence. I love art and music in most of its permutations. Would like to make an adventure out of a loaf of bread, fancy cheese and a fire escape and discussion or go to see music. I truly believe you can create your own reality most of the time, and would rather not dwell on our ghosts.

What I’m doing with my life

I recently took a 4 month break from the modern world to live on a farm in Alaska. Now back in the city, I'm trying to intergrate this new found simplicity into my life, finding the beauty in my friends, surroundings and just being in the moment. I'm spending my time appreciating getting older. I finally feel comfortable in my skin and standing in life-its a pleasant feeling, just soaking it up for a while, one day soon i am sure i will embark on a fabulous career but for now i work a fun no stress job, volunteer, read, watch silly tv, talk, and create. I should have turned 30 a long time ago! I plan on getting a masters in environmental education next spring.

I’m really good at

Baking, storytelling, writing letters, making stuff, finding stuff

The first things people usually notice about me

Freckles! Some residual shyness from my childhood, mitigated by a lame attempt at humor or unbridled enthusiasm

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Jane Eyre, The Count of Monte Cristo, I read a lot of classics, plus graphic novels, and...pretty much everything else!
Princess Mononoke, Kill Bill, My Left Foot, Rushmore,
Belle and Sebastian, classical, the entire 70's, 60s soul, Nick Cave, New Order, Elliott Smith, Neko Case, David Bowie, Yeah yeah yeahs,
sushi, cake, salad,beer i tend to eat very healthy except for the whole "sugar" thing
tv-Buffy and Animal Planet, Dexter, Lost, Dr Who

The six things I could never do without

Beer
Chocolate
Coffee
my family
animals
art

I spend a lot of time thinking about

how to have fun, how to limit my impact on the word, new hobbies, jokes.

On a typical Friday night I am

A fun evening at a friend's house, a basement show, or deciding i really just want to make cookies and get caught up on Lost

You should message me if

You don't bemoan those darn Portland Hipsters because you yourself are a natty dresser who attends the occassional art show, can have an intelligent conversation totally bereft of condensention, still sometimes live the life of the mythical teenager-sitting on the floor doing an art project listening to records
