I am slightly egotistical, compassionate, and radically liberal.
My Self-Summary
my previous 'self-summary' demonstrated that i'm passonate and
kinda angry. i see a world of injustice, and i get mad. so for the
past few years, i've tried to change the world by becoming an
activist. until recently, i was a very involved lgbt rights
activist. but some recent decisions by other leadership drove me to
resign. it was sad. and now i'm secretary of the county democratic
party. but i'll fill the time by reading the interwebs and with a
monthly column i am going to write for the liberty press.
i lost my job after the start of the new year, 'position
eliminated'. i was there for most of 8 years. it was quite sad :(
so now i spend my time trying to find a new job, crocheting,
sewing, and making neaklaces to make extra money above
unemployment. meh.
i'm a hippie at heart, treehugger, vegan, and rather hopelessly
addicted to brain games. i'm mildy disabled; that's frustrating
because it's not visable, suddenly becomes worse, and people just
don't understand why i don't have the energy to keep up with them
sometimes. i really don't want to get married, doubt i ever want to
live together with someone, question if i want any sort of
long-term relationship, wonder how i'll work in fostering children,
and seek open relationships instead of being expected to keep
blinders on. i'm an avouch athiest to the point where people expect
either the church or me to spontaenously burst into flames when i
walk in. i have a difficult time creating my own personal time. i
forget sometimes to be a friend, but when i'm needed, i'm usually
there.
What I’m doing with my life
going to the gym sometimes in an effort to maintain my health. i'm
secretary of the county democratic party. i write a monthly
political column for the liberty press. trying to keep my garden
growing. and hanging out with friends sometimes!
I’m really good at
saying things with which people disagree. being a radical liberal
who has to learn to bite her tongue (but only sometimes).
non-sequitors, rambling, not completely thinking through everything
i say, over-thinking everything i say.
The first things people usually notice about me
my red hair (whatever shade it might be) and my pale skin.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
a) the great gatsby, the house of mirth, the war on choice.
b) forbidden planet, the day the earth stood still, bound, a dog's
breakfast
c) riotgrrrl, russian romantics, broque. tegan and sara own you.
melissa mcclellen, erin smith band, the weekend, sleater-kinney,
kristi martel, tuuli, flux ad, emilie autumn, fluke, alix
olson.
d) pizza. chocolate. tofu.
e) (tv shows) stargate sg-1 & atlantis, the simpsons, futurama,
family guy, american dad, burn notice, doctor who. i need to watch
less tv.
The six things I could never do without
1- friends who still like me in spite of very different opinions.
2- debates. 3- me computer(s) hooked up to the internet. 4- lots of
food. mmm ... food. 5- conversation. 6- something stimulating.
somehow. 7- saussie cat!
I spend a lot of time thinking about
theory, politics, sex, work, idiots.
On a typical Friday night I am
hanging with friends or just watching tv :)
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
i'm scared shitless most of the time. no matter how strong i
appear, i'm scared.
You should message me if
you're looking for a deep yet weird conversation, have questions
about deep yet weird things, just want someone to hang with, or
just looking for some fun. or hang out on my lj at
