CURRENT MISSION

Live, learn, laugh, love, lollygag, laager over lagers with beggars, the usual...

ABOUT ME

-I love people, and I love seeing the world through others' lenses.

-Favs: I.P.A.s, Malbecs, Bourbon, green tea, and dark coffee

-My baby is a black cherry Yamaha Virago.

-I occasionally smoke a tobacco pipe or hookah.

-I'm a grad student studying Clinical Counseling.

-I was raised with rowdy brothers. Consequently, I'm not afraid of dirt, sweat, and adventures.

-I'm still a woman who likes coffee, chatting, and makeup.

-I once lived on a ship called the MV Explorer.

-I like to stay active. My favorite physical activities are swing dancing, rock climbing, hiking, and working out at the gym.

-I enjoy nerdy things like reading and boardgames.

-I'm flexible and very patient, but I don't tolerate dishonesty or intentionally degrading behavior very well.

-I'm not offended by the truth, so I invite others to speak their true thoughts.

-I am independent and cooperative.

I'm more interested to learn about other people anyway, but I'd be glad to answer questions.

Música, películas y libros

Folk, indie, hardcore, metalcore, jazz standards, live music, and big bands are always enjoyed. Some popular music is okay.

I really appreciate and love being introduced to all kinds of music from Balkan beats to baroque. Not everything will delight my musical pallet, but I am always happy to be introduced to new things.
In general, I'm not particularly fond of country music or rap.

Books -- I won't even try to get started here, but my favorite author is C.S. Lewis.
