About me

Gender Female
Location Norfolk, Virginia, United States
Introduction I'm an amateur linguist, runner, and ovo-lacto vegetarian cook. I used to live quite happily in the veg-friendly city of Norfolk, VA, but am currently doing the best I can with the resources I've got in Hampton, VA - which is at least close enough to Norfolk to help me retain my sanity. I have a five-day-a-week job where I get to use Japanese, my second language. I write, I read, I watch movies, I run, I cook, I do yoga...it's a good little life.
Interests Vegetarian and vegan cooking, running, linguistics, yoga, Pilates, Japanese language, reading, film, wine
