WILD nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port,—
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!

-Dickinson

I am an avid reader, and it doesn't matter if you are because I will probably end up reading to you.

I will play hookie and cook you breakfast in bed.

Laughing. Talking (a lot). Making. Reading. Writing. Observing. Interacting. And all of this is done professionally or otherwise- lucky me!

Taking pleasure in sensory events- the right song can put me into a mild state of euphoria.

My smile connected to my joy generally connected to my naïveté

Chronically and obsessively- Emily Dickinson, Pablo Neruda, Maya Angelou and Jonathan Franzen

Currently: James Blake

Carrot sticks (sustenance), tooth paste (cleanliness), nail polish (femininity), conversation (socializing), the arts (the arts... duh), Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (perspective)

how to make a connection about what I am having a conversation about and an article from NPR, how to make people happy, how to make myself happy in this new town of mine, what to cook

Reading a book, at a lecture, going to a concert, enjoying the company of my friends... often in combination :)

I dated my first girlfriend for sex. And I quote- "I don't want to be just theoretically gay. I want to go do something about it, aka, I'm horny. You know, like I want to go have sex now, please."

Go for it- I'm pretty awesome.
