occupation is a crime.. from iraq to palestine.

About Me

can you honestly trust someone on a dancefloor who isn't sweating? it's like trusting a bicycle mechanic with clean hands.

My Interests

bicycles, sustainability, justice, dancing, booze, delicious vegan food, cartoons, cuddle puddles, being precious, glitter, booty shorts, tall socks, things that are pink, music that can be described as post-something, trader vic's, and YOU.

I'd like to meet:

friendly eccentrics. leavers (not takers). beloved community builders. rad jews. chronic complimenters. full contact hug givers. bottom-of-the-ocean-creature-aphobes. people who don't make my bicycle cry by fighting about petty bullshit when there are real things to talk about.
