We're here collecting lingerie for needy sexy people.

About Me

I like: adventures, medical anomalies, some kinds of science, good movies, books, inappropriate behavior, arguing, thunderstorms, dogs, words, stretching, working up a sweat, getting butterflies, organized spaces, clean things, laying in the grass, feeding people, inclusive language, dresses, sunglasses, coffeecoffeecoffee, bonds, being right, shaking my moneymaker, and some television.I dislike: baby talk when one isn't speaking to an infant or a pet, othering, classism, capitalism, self-imposed social oligarchy, mayonnaise, butter, bees, dry skin, feeling inadequate, the bikes at the gym, making people cry, sentences that end in prepositions, fascists, creamy salad dressings, the word "creamy," people who aren't passionate about anything, and headaches.I have yet to make up my mind about: eggs, my own social awkwardness, medical imperialism, what I'd do for X amount of money, doing what I'm told, my height, wearing your jeans inside your boots, "democracy," donuts, verbing words that aren't normally verbs, and living in the desert.Layout Provided By CodeMyLayout.com - Myspace Layouts

My Interests

Reading, re-enactments, playing (but never sleeping) outside, asking questions, silently judging then judging myself for doing so, trivia, food (cooking and eating), stirring the pot, causing a ruckus, Socialism, my friends, my family, nature, crossword puzzles, infomercials, interviewing people, music, family histories (not mine), coffee, arguing.

I'd like to meet:

David Sedaris, Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Thurgood Marshall, people who are related to me (biologically OR spiritually), and anybody who wants to play some Scrabble.

Music:

Absolutely. Kind of everything- r&b, rap, jazz, jam, blues, old stuff, new stuff, etc. Specific favorites include Louis Armstrong, Kanye West, Eminem, Phish, SCI, Ella, Billie, Bill Withers, Vance Gilbert, Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Cher, Norah Jones, Ray LaMontagne, Rusted Root, The Mamas and the Papas, Johnny Cash...This list is really going to be quite long. Also, I'm very open to suggestions, so please send some my way.

Movies:

Oh, I'm pro. But I'm pretty picky.

Television:

Sure! But you know what? I kind of hate reality television. I never had cable so I don't understand any of that Real World stuff/references. So I'm bad at that category in Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit. I've seen enough Daily Show to know that the only celebrity I would ever really throw myself at is Jon Stewart. And how! I like roundtable discussion shows. I really like The Office (both versions), Arrested Development (don't leave us!), and the infomercials for the knives but not for the "flavor injector," because that is disgusting. I'm sure there is more to list- but honestly, who wants to read it? I'm already bored.

Books:

Oh, yes please.

Heroes:

My mom, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Margaret Sanger, Cesar Chavez, Emma Goldman, St. Francis of Assisi, and Batman.
