Your Notes
Edit your notesI am curious, shameless, and resilient.
My Self-Summary
When I made this account, I failed to realize that I had the
option to be creative with my screen name. Sorry. Guess what? Those
technically aren't even my real initials. Still lame.
Bittersweet. Tender. Surprising. Humorous. Downright absurd. This is what it feels like to be human. I delight in every moment of my charmed life.
I collect postcards and love to take naps in the grass.

What I’m doing with my life
Going to graduate school for geographic information systems,
interning at a government organization and researching health
issues, living in a small, artsy urban collective with a few women
who love bike-riding
and cheesy horror movies as much as I do, and generally having a
pretty good time :)
I've been away for 5 years now, and have found a home in 5 other states and 1 other country since, but I'm realizing that I am missing Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania more than I ever thought I would.

Movies: The Last Unicorn, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Secretary, Wild Zero, Heathers
Music: I'm hardly a music snob. I mean, I like that shitty electronica they play at shitty retail stores. Don't judge me. I also have a particular fondness for murder ballads, Persian dance music (OH SHIITE), Neutral Milk Hotel, Lisa Hannigan, Fever Ray, MGMT, and just about anything from Bicycle Records. And while I'm not the hugest fan of the Gossip, I do love what Beth Ditto is doing to promote positive body image.

The six things I could never do without
my independence, access to education, a creative pursuit, my
passport, compassion, the kindness of others
I spend a lot of time thinking about
*What's on my to-do list
*Identity (sexual, cultural, generational, geographic, gender)
*Serendipity
*Feminism and technology
*Karma (read: cause and effect)
*Reproductive justice
*Reincarnation--I'm kind of an atheist, but I really like being alive and being human, so I hope I get to do this more than once.
*How can I make myself understand statistics and calculus again
*When can I afford that new piercing/used dress on eBay/textbook for my class that starts tomorrow/tattoo/software that would make my life so much easier/car/dental appointment/concertina/sewing machine/bike I saw on Craigslist two weeks ago that's definitely already been sold/trip to India/whatever.
Oh, and really, really rough sex.

On a typical Friday night I am
NOT sipping a $4 cosmopolitan at a backwoods Colorado bar whilst
smacking a tambourine on my ass and dancing to my friends singing
karaoke and hearing the word "auspicious" for the 108th time. Sad
face.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I say "hello" to dogs I pass by on the street. Actually, I'm
inclined to greet any animal I see. I've been known to talk to
roads and paths as well.
Aaaand I've met 50+ people from this website. OkSlut?

You should message me if
...you're at least the same age as me, and not more than 5 years my
senior*
Also, if you're kind, supportive, sex-positive, open-minded, queer or queer-friendly, an artist, activist, humanist, or know how to ride your bike in this city, and you like beer.
If you're nice, and I like you, maybe I'll make you dinner.
Caveat: I'm not exactly seeking anything serious or long-term at the moment. I'm just starting to figure out what I want out of my own life; the addition of another life and another quarter-life crisis would result in complications that I'm simply not up for right now. That being noted, I do remain open to whoever comes into (or goes out of) my life, and to whatever happens in that interaction. What will be will be.
*I spent the last 5 years pretty much exclusively dating people 8 or more years older than I am. You know what? I'm done with that bullshit. I am interested in dating/hanging out with someone I can talk to about Twitter, trapper keepers, quarter-life crises, oh-my-god-my-first-professional-job, and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? I fucking loved that show.
