I am empathetic, strangely alluring, and a really good cook.

My Self-Summary

I'm a Pittsburgh native who has just moved to the wild, wild west. I'm going to school for my master's degree in anthropology, because I hate money. When I grow up, I want to be an archaeologist, which is a real job, I swear! I've actually been doing archaeology for the past few years. It's been fun, bumming around the country and digging up old shit, literally and figuratively- you haven't lived until you've dug up a privy pit right before lunch. Cholera is not often a job hazard these days! But now it's nice to have an apartment and to know what state I'll be in next month.

I'm a progressive feminist. I like a good debate. I've got a pretty damn good sense of humor if I do say so myself. I'm also really sucky at these sorts of things; it takes me freakin' _hours_ to write cover letters for resumes. I know everyone says that, but, whatever, it's true. So, yeah.

What I’m doing with my life

Writing papers and reading other people's papers, mostly.

I’m really good at

making margaritas. The secret is to stay the hell away from mixes.

The first things people usually notice about me

Heh, I only know what people tell me, and they're probably lying. But they claim it's the smile.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

This one's really hard, because I've got some seriously broad tastes. My mixed CDs have been known to hurt people's brains. Every time I make a list here, I end up making it too long, and then I look again a few months later and wonder what I was smoking back then. Let's see. I like anything with garlic, cheese, or chocolate. I've got a huge pile of books that I've bought and haven't read yet and won't for a while, because I'm rerereading some Terry Pratchett. Music-wise, I've been able to find stuff in pretty much every genre that I like, but stand-outs are Sleater-Kinney, Franz Ferdinand, Indigo Girls, Johnny Cash, and Fiona Apple. I don't really buy CDs anymore, so I mostly just have a handful of songs from a whole lot of people, and a lot of those are pretty random.

The six things I could never do without

There are the basics, of course, and I love my friends and family dearly. Beyond that, I'm happiest when I've got plenty of sleep, an internet connection, a bookstore (preferably used), a nice array of international restaurants, and people with whom I can have good conversations near me. Oh, I get one more. Chocolate? Hope? Flipflops?

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I bet the real answer to this is something embarrassing like "sex" or "food" or what the next line to the song stuck in my head is. It's almost definitely not, you know, the nature of God or how I can help bring about world peace.

On a typical Friday night I am

sleeping or avoiding doing homework.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I lecture people who have Bush '04 bumper stickers on their cars. I mean, while I'm in my car, driving. Not to their faces.

You should message me if

Well, you should not message me for a booty call. I need to know someone's full name before I sleep with them, at the very least, jeez.
