Gender	Female
Location	Memphis, TN, United States
Introduction	I'm a Southern woman with a trashy mouth, in my late twenties. I like people who can handle me making filthy jokes and saying things about poop and sex. As my mama told me once, I have no shame. I'm married, I live in Memphis and I love it here. It's hot as hell and dirty and poor, but visually arresting, complicated & lush in a way that is hard to describe. I dream lustily of my very own yard & garden, international travel, and throwing off the shackles of the man. If you'd like to share something deeply personal and embarrassing with me (I love it, I love it!), hit me up at longtallanimal@gmail.com.

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?

I have no idea what this means. I went to a public school in rural West Tennessee, for God's sakes. I do know that we skipped the evolution chapter every year because it seemed like our science teachers were always youth ministers, as well.
