About Me

I like tea. It's so perfect, taking just the right amount of time and patience, being such a beautifully evolved treat for all the senses, allowing for such a civilized break in one's day, that tea may very well save the world if only given the opportunity. It at least saves my sanity most days.When I'm bored or depressed, I bubble. I have many fond memories of sitting on the second story of my college library and watching passers-by smile for the first time in their busy days because of a random float of soap and water in their way. Harmless, innocent, bubbles. Less than a buck buys me a lot of happiness.

Seriously, in between lives. I don't have a place to live these days.I'm interested in using practical marxism in everyday life--in exploring the idea of working like the money doesn't matter and not defining myself by my job alone. I need to connect to more of a community. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________My dad died recently. He was old and smoked most of his life, so it wasn't surprising but it has certainly changed my little world. I'm finding that most of my memories of him have to do with seizing the day--I was born when he was 60, and he enjoyed every single day of my youth as though it might be his last. I'd like to seize the day like that, just go to the merry-go-round or learn to twirl fire, but I don't want to smoke away my lungs like he did. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________I still miss Deux Gros Nez. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ I'm not into socializing just out of boredom or some vague sense of loneliness anymore. I'm a grown-up. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ I need a giant loving cohesive family. My definition of family is much broader than many traditional ones, and I would love cooking for dozens of people who invade my home every Friday to laugh and tell stories and light candles and be generally wonderful... I had that; it's just in a different place and time at the moment.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus. Ani DiFranco. Jon Stewart. Mae West. Shakespeare. My future self. Those girls who teased me in elementary school. My grandpa. Natalie Portman. Which Western feminist icon are you?
You are Frida Kahlo! You are an artistic, passionate, vulnerable person, with openly bisexual tendancies and were the first womyn to have her own gallery show in Mexico. You slept with ... Trotsky?

I miss you.

I don't know if I can handle being in Korea for that much longer. I'm losing myself. I can't think the way I used to here. I'm surrounded by people who can't fit me into any cultural context and peopl...
