outsider art, eating disorder recovery, third-wave feminism, literacy, special education, human development, knitting scarves (and occasionally other, more complicated, things), semicolons, the chicago cubs, liberation theology, coffee addictions, helping people, being snarky in a nice way, dark beer, a preferential option for the poor, anglo-catholicism, funny haircuts.
also, I used to talk to simmie a lot, but now she's moved and I'm sad. if you know of any other simmies available for friendship in the metro area, let me know.
I'd like to meet:
People with advanced palates who don't annoy me. People who can appreciate my pretty wicked impression of the Melvins.
Oh, wait, I also don't want to meet people who don't support affirmative action. No, really, I seriously don't want to meet them. I'm a pretty big fan of affirmative action, as well as reparations, and I spend a lot of time in the shower refining the reasons why I support them. It's not a totally academic study, but I feel like it's pretty solid. I like people who are just as interesting as they think they are, if not more so. I'd like to meet more people who don't creep me out and people whom, likewise, I don't creep out. I'd like to meet more people with steel frame road bikes who would like to sell them to me for cheap. Really, I guess, I only need to me one person like that.
