About Me



I talk to strangers and love easily. I'm fairly certain either of these characteristics or both working in concert will result in my undoing. Fueled by bananas and black coffee. Good at sharing everything but the sheets. Reluctant but active participant in social construction. Fiscally irresponsible. Flotsam and jetsam. Champagne and hearts.

My Interests

politics, music, running, baseball, tequila, love, war, crushing, Loehmann's, boots, silk screening in my tiny apartment, Philadelphia, Mexico, Brooklyn, personal bests, my bike, prison reform, making my own contractions, tofu dogs, onomatopoeias, skylarking around Bed-Stuy, hemorraging money in NYC.

I'd like to meet:


You.
