I was born in the Village, but raised in a few different places. Most notably Sweden, Africa (mostly Lesotho, Kenya and Tanzania), and New England.
On one side I'm half New York, upper class, Jewy/waspy-esque/uptight catholic, while the other side is pagan, Swedish, Potato farmer, Inuit, socialist, hippie.
I still think there could be a bad sitcom based on the years my parents were married, or maybe a Wes Anderson movie.

I've been using Manhattan as a home base again for the last five years or so. When I'm not having an awesome time living here I wonder if anywhere else will ever be stimulating enough in comparison.

Because of a multicultural upbringing I'm prone to over-thinking things. Although I'm very good at not letting thinking get in the way of my kicks.

My over-thinking combined with the luxury of growing up a little here and there has made me an egalitarian, feminist, economically left leaning, LGBT sympathizing, sex positive, queer theorizing, gender studying, atheist, anti-war, anti-fascist, anti-hate, pro choice etc etc etc.

Most importantly I try to treat people like they want to be treated without hurting anyone in the process.

Even after all the traveling I did as a kid I still love it. And I can't imagine getting tired of it anytime soon, so I go places as often as I can. In 2012 I went to Sweden(twice), India, Japan, a few American states, Barbados, Egypt, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and Iceland.

I go to school with the vague motive of someday following in the footsteps of my father and his father before him. I want to do 'development' of some sort for a while in my life. I would follow in the steps of my mother, but I'm not tall enough to be a model.

While still in school and New York I do random work for fun. Nothing worth mentioning more than as an occasional anecdote.

Mostly I try to squeeze the most out of this short existence. That entails doing as many things as possible.

Skills I have acquired by doing things:
I can ride a horse.
Last I checked I could hold my breath for over 3 minutes.
I can longboard and snowboard.
I can Hula hoop.
I can scuba dive.
I can lift heavy things.
I can give a good massage.
I can sleep anywhere, anytime.
I can find the clitoris AND the G-spot.

I have no idea, and I like not to know. People usually surprise me with what they think about me.

I consume a lot of media, be it in the form of books, movies or shows. I just think what we get from media is way to subjective to make lists about that matter as much as we would want them to. Some of the smartest people I know like the dumbest TV, and some of the worst assholes I've ever met read the best, kindest, most complicated books ever written.

Sure, I recognize that bonding over having similar taste is a thing, but taste doesn't really account for much more than taste. Besides, I'm too lazy to list all the things I like.

When I'm at home:
Clean clothes every day
My apartment/fortress of solitude.
my awesome/asshole friends and doing stuff with them.
My technology and it's connection to the hivemind/internet.
Kinky sweaty sex and post coital relaxing with snacks/movies.
Amusing ideas.

While I'm traveling:
Passport.
food.
Enough fabric to keep me warm.
My senses.

That word I know but can't remember right now. Had a long war with the word catharsis where I kept remembering every week or so that there was a word I knew that I couldn't remember. But I beat it finally. Now I find myself saying catharsis at random times and feeling good about myself.

Usually taking it easy. I prefer to go out on weekdays.

I have morals but no shame. A dangerous combination.

If you like doing things that make for good stories.
