About me

Gender Female
Location Charleston, SC, United States
Introduction I'm an advocate of free speech, gay rights, women's rights, support for those of us who aren't religious or are part of an alternate religion, and most other things considered to be socially liberal. Cooking is my new-ish (the past four years) hobby, and I'm pretty damn good at it. Quite opinionated, I'm an interesting combination of a homebody and an extrovert. Going out and dancing/socializing is lovely, but I also adore sitting at home curled up with the dog, a mug of hot tea, and a good book. If you'd like to view some of my artwork, you can check it out here: http://joidvivre.deviantart.com/ Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who is a freethinker, can handle more than a little sarcasm, and is interested in growing and changing with every breath. Fellow atheists and agnostics, artists, fellow dog enthusiasts, people who can hold their own in a conversation and still know how to have a good time, are aware of themselves and their surroundings, and people who realize that no matter what, there is always more to learn.
Interests Come out dancing with me on a Friday night, have a cook-a-thon for a dinner party, or argue about sci-fi. It'll probably be a good time. art, art history, film, photography, painting, sculpture, metalsmithing, democracy, bone structure, sex, thai food, music, musicals, foreign films, reading, napping, climbing, cutting paper, sketching, charcoal, ink, cotton, czech authors, dogs, autumn, breakfast, pasta, earrings, blues power, holidays, memoirs, pets, tea, hot baths, museums, traveling, deja vu, queen, spring
