I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Mostly boring urban girl scout with a sneaky streak of mischief. Closet sap, ok, only partially closeted sap. Re-hatched night owl. Curious.Specialties: animal impressions, dancing in the dark, rambling conversation, metropolitan mile-trekking.

My Interests

These sites would be far more interesting if they had sections like: Neuroses, Funny Bone Triggers and Bizarre things that you find sexy. But since they don't ask for details like that: Oustider/low-brow art, reading non-fiction, life outside of the big city, books - I love the smell of books. History. Learning. Car and motorcycle culture. Great convesation, silliness. People watching. Quiet places. Engineer Boots. Currently: honing my knitting skills, surviving school, whole nutrition, burning man, Wooster Collective, Ladies Sci-Fi Salon. Contemplating joining the Socialist Party of America. Really practicing conscientious consumerism. Still: bitching about my braces, overcoming my allergy to red wine.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone of similar heart and mind except maybe, the junkie on the corner...
