Miranda

About Me

This might be who I am.
My roommate and I have plans on being famous for bad reasons.
We just want to help people.

My Interests

dance parties, my best friends, Jacques Cousteau, the barter system, Fresca, hot dentists, Washington DC, Goofus and Gallant, prose poetry, being an English major, my professors, lip gloss, date dump or marry?, emotional commercials, mobsters, jargonized words such as complexify and ghettoize, Roanoke, race gender class theory, olive oil, the blue ridge mountains, Appalachia

I'd like to meet:
