I am ambitious, queer, and nurturing.
My Self-Summary
I consider myself a feminist... I know, *eek* the other F-word! I
put that first to weed anyone who may have preconceived negative
stereotypes about what that means...
I love reading, going on road-trips, watching tv, kayaking, tubing,
seeing theatre and movies. I also love going out or staying in with
friends, cuddling, and cooking.
What I’m doing with my life
I recently graduated from a wonderful, small, liberal-arts college
in Maryland and moved cross country to Austin for my first "real"
job. I've been living in Austin since june, and I love it thus far,
but I work long hours so meeting people has been a challenge.
I’m really good at
baking, listening, making 3 point turns, being the big spoon
The first things people usually notice about me
I receive a lot of comments about my freckles. They're really
prominent. Sometimes I wonder if they're actually talking about my
freckles or my boobs. Those are pretty prominent too:)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books:
Any play by Wendy Wasserstein or Tennessee Williams, Sexing the
Body by Anne Fausto-Sterling, Candy-Girl by Diablo Cody,The
Feasting Season, Children of Men, The Picture of Dorian Gray by
Oscar Wilde...etc.
Movies:
Juno, the Breakfast Club, Almost famous, Knocked up, Children of
Men, Slumdog Millionaire, 10 things I Hate about You, The Graduate,
Across the Universe, Short Bus, I am Sam, Saved!, the Little
Mermaid, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Ghost World, Love Actually, Little
Miss Sunshine, Pumpkin, the Business of Being Born and many
more...
Music:
My music taste is super diverse, I like everything from folk, to
punk, to bubble-gum pop. I also adore 80's pop/ new wave, 90's
rock, and showtunes. Some examples are: Peaches, Le Tigre, Defiance
Ohio, Against Me!, Simon and Garfunkle, Taylor Swift, Carbon Leaf,
the Ting Tings, Ben Kweller, M.I.A., Lady Gaga, Gnarls Barkley,
Journey, Kanye West, Bob Dylan, CCR, Britney, the Ramones, the
Clash, and many more.
Food:
tomatoes, basil and mozarella in combination are always excellent.
I love mediteranian food, indian food, sushi, and thai food. I
don't really eat red meat. I try to eat healthy, but I am a sucker
for a few comfort foods: mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, and sweet
potato fries. My favorite places to eat in Austin are Kerbey lane,
Torchy's tacos, zen, pterry's, and thundercloud.
The six things I could never do without
1. my contact lenses... I'm blind as a bat without them.
2. flip-flops
3. sleep
4. some body of water near by.
5. friends and family
6. cuddles
I spend a lot of time thinking about
gender and society, double standards, sex, my future
On a typical Friday night I am
recovering from my work week, whether that means going out with
friends or staying in and vegging out.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have strange dreams about saving babies from natural disasters.
You should message me if
You're still reading at this point, and you are looking for
something beyond the physical. Also if you like the theatre! I
haven't seen a show in months.
