I am quirky, adaptable, and judgemental.
My Self-Summary
I'm a bit of a hater. Wait, I probably shouldn't put that first.
Let me start again.
I drive too fast, but of the three tickets I've gotten, only the
one where I rear-ended that old lady was merited. I've got big
dreams, and I'm working up the courage to follow through with them.
I get really excited about
chickens.
What I’m doing with my life
When not working to end unsafe abortion internationally by
photocopying and taking meeting minutes, I spend my evenings
knitting myself an iPod cozy while watching Dynasty. Cause secretly
I'm an ambitious housewife from both the 1950s and 1980s. Who owns
an iPod.
I’m really good at
Organizing, especially organizing
dim sum outings. Making mix CDs with
extensive liner notes. Conforming to OkCupid's wish I make things
blue. Finding the feminist angle to any country song. Except Toby
Keith. I hate that fucker.
The first things people usually notice about me
The first thing people usually notice about my cat is that she's
both friendly and aloof. She gets it from me.

Music: Right now, at this very minute, I'm listening to Suddenly,
Seymour because it makes me happy. A couple of weeks ago, I raided
one of my gay boyfriends music collections and made a three hour
playlist of awesome 80s girl rock. My fallback music is always
country and alt-country (whatever that means) recently.

Food: I like food.
The six things I could never do without
I have amazingly supportive friends and family. Without them, life
is just too sad to think about. Other than that, I do like to be
clothed when I go out in public. I also enjoy eating a great deal.
I'm trying to think of the things I took with me when I left the
country. The only "luxury" or "personal" item I remember is all my
cds. And my sarcasm.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My job and the people who work with me. The tasks I wish I had
robots to take care of for me. What I want to eat.
God, I'm shallow. I feel like I should say that I think about how
to cure world hunger or existence and god. But that would be a
lie.
I spend a lot of time thinking like an eighth grade boy. Say
something. I'll probably interpret it as a sexual reference and
find it amusing.
On a typical Friday night I am
An awesome Friday night would include a trip to the Bollywood
cinema, followed by bomb ass indian food and shit talking with my
friends. Then I turn in, so that I can go shoot guns early in the
morning. I like to work on my marksmanship. yeah!
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
One time I was arrested for misdemeanor larceny. I'm totally
innocent.
You should message me if
you want to explore Durham with me. Or you want to help me plan my
awesome country music tour that's going to bring family planning
education to the Dakotas. Or if you think you can come up with more
dirty gun references than me, or could beat me in a cartwheeling
contest, or think you know more Buffy trivia than me.
