* I have an obsessive-compulsive relationship with my hair, which often results in spontaneous experimental haircuts. My best friend has hid my scissors from me several times.
* I try to wear a bra as seldom as possible, even though I'm somewhere between a C and D cup. In addition to the comfort factor, it lets me shout to The Man "fuck your fascist beauty standards" without losing my voice.
* I have a love-hate relationship with television.
* I have a love-love relationship with my computer.
* I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass.
* My background is that of a suburban middle-class WASP-y, relatively functional family.
* I used to be a grammar cop. And then I got over it.
* I lived in the same house my entire life until I moved to another state for college.
* I love making lists. I've been known to spend more time making lists to organize my life than actually doing the things on the list.
* I believe in cultural relativity. You can call it tolerance, appreciation, acceptance, whatever you want. I have no right to criticize viewpoints and choices made by people of other cultures.
* I don't know what I want to do with my life. Don't ask me about it or suggest careers. I'm likely to sock you.
* I love pop culture and am not ashamed to admit it.
* I'm fat and refuse to apologize for it. I like the way I look.
* I love 80's music. If you ask me nicely I might make you a mix CD.
* I'm an impeccable speller. Most of the misspellings on this page are typos.

* I look younger than I am. It's really annoying.
* My politics are pretty radical, and I'm contantly struggling to figure out ways to make my views more user-friendly.
* My haircolor has gone through many transformations. At the moment it's a darkish natural looking brown (dyed). Previous shades: black, every shade of red and orange you can think of, black with blue streaks, purple, magenta, and purple & magenta streaks.
* I'm a tree-hugging environmentalist, but do very little about it. why, you ask? look here.
* My parents are still married, and for a long time I wished they weren't.
* I hate hairstyles with bangs.
* I was a brownie and a girl scout. I don't think it did much for my transformation into a young woman except teach me camp songs and gain a healthy appreciation for girl scout cookies.
* I'm a strange cross between a hippie, indie hipster, and radical feminist.
* I'm a true Valleygirl (although you wouldn't guess it if you met me), and can do the stereotyped accent upon request if you're really really nice.
* I'm totally addicted to movies. Totally. Especially girly ones.
* I'm extremely suspicious of Western Medicine and Science, aka The Man. I like science, I think it can do wonderful things at times, but I'm still skeptical of the numerous interpretations and applications thereof.
* I'm a Scorpio, but don't ask me what that means. People tell me I act nothing like a typical Scorpio. I think that's a compliment.
* I collect cute, sexy underwear. But it still has to be comfortable. No G-strings for me.
* I've lived in 3 cities in my lifetime: Los Angeles CA, Portland OR, and Cuenca, Ecuador.
* Don't call me easy. I prefer the term "sex-positive." I also like to think I'm clever.
* I'm an introvert most of the time. Which makes the above statement not quite as racy as it might seem.
* I'm not religous, and until recently I didn't think I was spiritual either. Thus began an investigation into the realm of what some people would consider "weird, new-age religions." And some of those waaaaacky ancient Eastern religions. I'm not looking for a religion. I'm just looking to learn from their perspective on how to get in touch with my spiritual side.
* I consider myself a polyamorist, although I have very little practical experience with polyamory.
* I'm an only child, but I'm not a brat, at least most of the time I'm not.
* Most boys annoy me but I usually put up with them anyway cause they're sexy.
* I think pot should be legalized for recreational use, but I don't like smoking it myself. I'm not a result of the War on Drugs, the politicians can kiss my ass.
* I'm bilingual, and aspire to learn many more languages in my lifetime.
* I consider myself a creative person. I have a good eye. But I cannot, for the life of me, do representational artwork. In other words, I can't draw or paint worth shit.
* I have one tattoo, an orange sun, on my chest. I'm starting to develop a design for a second one. If anyone is good at drawing (see above) and feels like helping me, let me know.
* Piercings: aside from two hoops in each ear, I have a small ring in my septum (nose) and that's it. I've had two barbells in my eyebrow and a nose ring but I took them out cause I decided I wanted all my body decor to be centered along the vertical axis. Not interested in getting anything else at the moment.
* I've struggled with moderate depression. It sucked. I don't want to do that again.
* My drugs of choice include caffeine, sugar, laughter, good beer, white russians, and sex.
