About Me

I split my days between sitting on the couch reading eighteenth-century British literature and flogging myself on my bicycle.

I like: coffee, veganism, cyclocross, knitting, avocados, knee warmers, lentils, bicycles with one gear, redheads, vaguely ironic New Hampshire pride, and hot new outfits.
I don't like: when people make me feel sad, identity politics, crappy weather, cars, republicans, overly stimulating myspace pages, and those ugly boots.
