I will watch that thing with you even if I'm not interested and I will try my hardest to like it. I do not want you to watch that thing with me if you are not interested at all. I will remember you hate curry even though I love curry and I will not try to make you go out for Indian. I will find someone else to go get Indian food with. I will loudly over-think everything. When you do something sweet for me, I will make fun of you for being cheesy but I will actually really, really appreciate it.

Also, I'm not here for monogamous situations. Be aware ahead of time that I'm in a marvelous committed relationship with the gentle soul and continual surprise, janturbo, with whom I am deeply in love. But I still have a lot to give!

I'm studying women's history (which I love) and psychology (which, academically, I love much less), but/and I want to be a therapist in the long term. I have my future plans pretty much under control. That being said, I'm a little lonely and bored out here now, and I would love new friends and partners to keep me company and show me a good time.

I'm also undergoing a lot of personal transformation (not Teen Wolf style), and am actively becoming a more joyful, involved, fit, healthy person.

Cooking, doing other people's eyebrows, learning new small skills, finding or making really great presents, getting sunburned really fast. I like to knit and crochet and sew, especially with kittens and pups making havoc nearby.

My big, loud laugh
Also I have good teeth

I'm taking all history classes this semester. Common themes on my mind now: imperialism, Marxist theory, socialist revolution, racism, sexism, sex, what textile production means for the pre-Industrial woman, Confucian morality, and how everyone who ever went to Africa who wasn't African just fucked everything the fuck up every single time

One of my greatest fears is that gorillas, being the most terrifying animal, will eventually gain enough intelligence to take over the world

Also, for some reason I'm really bad at Scrabble.

You're gonna say something besides "Hey, what's up" or "Hello, how are you?" Please. Although the latter is preferable to the former.

Additionally, I'd like to attract positive energy into my life; although I'm happy to help partners through tough times, everyday negativity is no good. If you're genuinely interested in talking to be, please be a positive, stable person.
