I don't return fruit. Fruit is a gamble. I know that going in.

About Me


Currently I work full time and am in school part time for a Masters in Library Science. Needless to say, that keeps me pretty busy. But when I have time I try to get some political activism in.

For fun, I enjoy spending time with friends, writing, reading, hanging out at bookstores or coffeeshops, visiting Reading Terminal Market, playing with my cats and going to cool cultural events around town

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
