I am sarky, intellectual, and funny.

My Self-Summary

I'm argumentative, but in a good way. I just like to test things. I take notice of the world. I'm active in it. I don't have a 'type'. I deeply hate prejudice of all kinds. I like to read, argue, walk, sleep, work till dawn on a paper, waste all night, dance right through. Open mind and sometimes an open heart. I am only sometimes the teflon girl. Must have equality and some independence.

What I’m doing with my life

fomenting revolution. :) no, really.

I’m really good at

knots
origami. okay, i'm passable at it
blow jobs, I've been told
tactlessness. Have my best friend squirming all the time
Writing
thinking

The first things people usually notice about me

I don't know the answer to that. When i see myself unexpectedly in a mirror I'm usually surprised by that twisted frown i make when I'm deep in thought, that sometimes brings out the dimples. But for other people probably its the exuberent ear-splitting shriek that catches their attention.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

all of ursula le guin, nearly all of Ian Banks, My Life, fast food nation, The summer book... I'm quite omnivorous really. Same goes for food (no mopani worms tho) films, music (though ali farka toure is way up my list).

The six things I could never do without

food
water
air
physical contact

then there are things I'd prefer not to have to do with out such as

books
sex
beautiful photos and my damned addictive camera
travel, travel, travel.
intellectual stimulation

I spend a lot of time thinking about

ways to trash capitalism
how to build an earring that will hang like that not this (mini-engineering)
the measurements and placing of the mythical stairs I plan to build in my house
what the cleaners should be doing to get some dammned justice
The exact correct word for ....

On a typical Friday night I am

Gooing my lyf (throwing my body) at the local reggae bar.
more often in reality, at home working on a paper wishing i was throwing my body at the local reggae bar
quite frequently - out with mates

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't like goodbyes
