Getting funky, not crunky!

About Me

I really, really love bicycles. Maybe too much. I ride almost everywhere and I'm on a bike dance team called the Sprockettes . I also enjoy dancing, cooking, radical politics, wearing pretty dresses, doing the splits, garden gnomes, accordions, and being an angry feminist. Now that it's almost winter I plan to spend my time inside watching DVDs and doing crafts and editing movies. It's gonna be crrrrazzzzy!

My Interests


feminism, anarchy, film, white tights, the smell of fireplaces, bike riding, sleeping with a lot of blankets, polaroids, dancing wildly, chubby chix

I'd like to meet:

Straight edge kids the love to partay! But not, like, get drunk, just go out to parties and wear ridiculous outfits and jump on tables and sing loudly and basically act more ridiculous than everyone else. Yeah!! I rally need more people like that in my life.

Music:


Mostly I like bands that my friends are in and most stuff on plan-it-x. And stuff I can dance to.
The Mamas and the Papas, Show Me The Pink, Rilo Kiley, Defiance, OH, Here Comes A Big Black Cloud, Swallows, Bikini Kill, Japanther, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Carrie Nations, Belle and Sebastian, Lightning Bolt, The Go Team, a lot of other stuff

Movies:


Kamikaze Girls, My Summer of Love, Maria Full of Grace, Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, My Own Private Idaho, 1984, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Graduate, Spellbound, Devil's Playground, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Secretary, CQ, anything by Jan Svankmajer (czech animator), Born in Flames, and generally well made movies with strong female characters...

Television:


Guess what? I DON'T HATE TELEVISION. I don't think it's evil or the downfall of society- it's just generally used for shitty purposes. But I think it's an amazing tool for spreading information, and I particularly like cable access. I also enjoy America's Next Top Model, Antiques Roadshow, the E! Network, Sex and the City, and King of the Hill.

Books:

Usually my favorite book is whatever the last one I read is! I just read The Handmaid's Tale and it was amazing. I really like magazines, because I have a short attention span. Especially Bitch, Clamor, Ready Made, and Punk Planet.

Heroes:

Joan Braderman

Assatta Shakur
