| Location | Oakland, CA, United States |
| Introduction | I am a transplant from the cynical midwest and living in Oakland has not had the softening effect rumored as Californication. A self-aware control freak, I was raised to do things on my own, make my own mistakes, and hopefully learn from them. I don't trust media or opinions, but distract myself with both daily. Websites containing science & technology or business, and documentaries help me procrastinate when too much work makes me a dull girl. |
| Interests | growing and learning, staying connected to family and friends, appreciating each day as much as I can, being passionate, being kind, biodiversity, biodynamic construction, resource conservation, native habitat restoration & construction, local & global green economies, small business networking, good seasonal foods, health, and time to relax |
| Favorite movies | Waking Life, Flight from Death, Food Inc. Changes weekly depending on what I've rented or watched on Hulu. |
| Favorite music | The Pixies, Alice McLaughlin, Flaming Lips, dustbin discoveries, and the stations that I have set up on Pandora and anything that gets me out of the house. |
| Favorite books | We, Here Come the Barbarians, E Myth, A Confederacy of Dunces, The Russian Debutante's Handbook, Designing California Native Gardens, White Teeth, Astonishing Hypothesis, but this list changes all of the time |
