About Me

Posi- pronounced "pah-zee"

Remember, always run counter-clockwise in the pit if you want to keep the gears of positivity cranking smoothly!

I sing in a hardcore punk band called Safe Harbors . If you're into melodic punk hardcore, then you might like us.

I work part-time as a tutor and I also do sound for punk shows. I'm also working on a project with some friends to open a vegan restaurant in Washington, D.C. sometime next year. I've postponed plans for grad school to devote my life to making this dream come true. If you're interested in learning more and/or participating in this endeavor, please check out The Flying V .

My whole life is not solely defined by the labels with which we contrain ourselves, so hit me up if you'd like to share cool stories!

My Interests

hardcore, punk, politics, existentialism, philosophy, veganism, political art, tattoos, piercings, sexuality, graffiti

I'd like to meet:

Chill people. Must like playing Mario Kart- Double Dash, DDR, and Dr. Mario.

I might be vegan and straight edge but I'm not judgmental. I've dated girls who were completely opposite of me and have friends who smoke, drink, snort, whatever. It's not something I worry about and you shouldn't think that just because we don't seem to have anything in common that we wouldn't get along, unless you're a puppy-puncher.

I don't get the internet

Seems like a lot of people have friends in the hundreds. I have a lot more dudes than girls on my list. Does that make me gay or sexist? Why don't you have to double-click anything anymore? I rememb...
