FEMINISM Dance parties, sarcasm, giggling like an amorphous blob, unlimited coffee refills/using caffeine as my substitute speed, introspective journal ramblings/self psychoanalyzing, books, poetry, spooning, long talks, long walks, bike riding, reading, live music, smashing patriarchy.
I'd like to meet:
People who have something positive to contribute to my understanding of the world.
Also, people who are not too elitist to accept that I (as well as others) may not be "radical" or "intellectual" or "hip" or "artsy" enough for you. If you find something wrong with my personal beliefs or politics, let's start a dialogue, and I'd be happy to chat. What really bugs me is when people have common goals or common enemies but focus on difference rather than on points of intersection. Seriously, get over yourselves and your belief that you someone posses this one, big "T" truth ideology and practice that will someonehow single handedly lead to change. Let's start a real dialogue.
Lurk. Lurk. Lurk.
