| Introduction | I make a lot of absolute statements that are probably not necessary. // I'm a proud vegan, though not hardcore -- basically that means I'm ok with leather shoes; I eat things that grandmothers cook and think are vegan even I know deep down their not. // I have no idea what I am going to do with my life, but I have come to accept that this is my life. // I have the desire to move move move but am a homebody. // I have an amazing main man who supports and challenges me. He is a knowledge hoarder, which is to say he is very smart and doesn't specialize. He also doesn't mind cleaning things that smell very bad, which makes him very, very valuable. // I resent wearing pants that aren't flattering. // I am a graduate student in Library and Information Science. |
| Interests | Walker, adventures with Walker, haranguing Walker about future adventures, outside, dogs, dogs outside, growing food, making dinner, social enterprise, fair-trade coffee, formica tables, melmac plastic, depictions of the virgin mary, day of the dead, the color yellow, bathtubs, pantries, cheap beer, collard greens, free raggedy produce, discount grocers, adding nutritional yeast to everything I cook, using vinegar and baking soda for everything. Sewing, and serging. Knitting and then ripping it out while I curse. Reggae. Progressive people. I hate chains with a passion so consuming that you could call it an interest. More specifically, I hate restaurant franchises. Like Chili's, or Jamba Juice, or any coffee place that there's more than three of. I'm experiencing conflict on this because Starbucks hires exoffenders, which most corporations don't do, and they deserve cred for that. Photography, Walker brewing beer and me dreaming about drinking it, thrift stores, cloth napkins, tempeh bacon, homemade seitan, vegan food, food, food, mittens, hoodies, quality socks, and my family. Did I mention vegan food? |
