Still in my salad days

About Me

Woot Woot!

vegan and straight edge. if you can't handle that, maybe you don't know what it's really all about. unsatisfied college grad. hopefully on my way to grad school for a master's in something awesome and helpful like regional and city planning (it's all about sustainable communities) or animal assisted therapy. ask me about my plan. try to be easygoing but it's hard. it's something i'm always working at. i love tennis.

Here I am in WA. New job at Starbucks. The Mortamer pics are gone because they weren't that good and made me ill to watch. Maybe because there was garbage in the kitchen!

I'M JUST SEEING WHERE LIFE WILL TAKE ME FOR A WHILE, SINCE NONE OF MY PLANS EVER WORK OUT!layout from starboo.com

My Interests

scrabble, kombucha, libraries and books of obscure topics, learning to live with fewer and fewer material goods, learning to tie knots, learning about caves, waterfalls, and other natural wonders, pretending I can find ghosts (pretending I'm not scared either), looking at house plans and log cabins, working out a wicked lot (this is not the case anymore, but if I wasn't working 12 hour days, I would), being an outdoorswoman, more snowboarding!, snowshoeing, even cross country skiing, traveling, being the passanger in a car, maps, kitchen gagdets, brownies, making cards and other cool things, working too much, cooking and the consequent onion smell that lingers on my hands for days, walking, dogs, pictures of the universe and amateur astronomy, funny rafting pictures, laughing so hard no sound comes out, packing summer with activity (you better call!), sledding, tennis, conversation, indie movies, things under the radar, being curious, juju fruits, juju sour dinos, ethnic cuisine, multi-colored hair, ashlee simpson haircuts, worrying about trite details, being clumsy (especially with feelings), finding the self, avoiding herd mentality, getting out of town, never staying in one place for too long, getting stuff for free, swimming at night, learning to get along with me, acceptance.

I'd like to meet:

..1 ZOIDBERG
..2 People I know but I'm not going have contact with otherwise...I guess technically, since I already know them, that isn't meeting, but that's what I'm here for
..3 Friends of friends that might know me a lil', but no crazy random people, thanks!
