I am here for Friends

About Me

Feminist. Can appear to be grungy/hippie/ preppy /dirty depending on when, where, and how you run into me. Reverting back to Vegetarianism. Junior at Berea College. Women's Studies Major, Appalachian Studies Minor. Now I just have to figure out how to integrate those two things. Love dogs, cats, birds, and mice. Always late for everything. Love tiger lillies. Coffee devotee. Techno enthusiast. Daughter named Elgie. Son named Liem. Plethora of friends. A few enemies. Some I don't bother to classify as either. Super liberal. I like looking at other's hands. I hate feet. Love James Bond films (pre-Pierce Brosnan, that is. Everything after that is shite.) Boots are my weakness. Then again, so are hats and retro goodwill coats. Have my real hair color for the first time in over eight years. My hair is growing again after shaving my head for two years. I have enough for two tiny little pigtails now. (hey. progress is progress.) Love writing, drawing, photography. Love postsecret. check it out here. Miss my friends in other states. Like Texas. And Iowa. And Tennessee. Cribbage aficionado. Plan on staying in Kentucky to earn my Master's. Hopefully a Ph.D in France will follow. Then who knows? stumbleupon.com is an addiction. You should check it out also. Love the smell of lavendar oil. Make my own cheese at home. Randomness is also a favorite of mine. Can you tell?
