CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

For the past 4 years I've been living in Chicago, Illinois and going to school for Gender and Women's studies. Currently I am living in Amsterdam for the semester.

I'm a chronic snacker and compulsive collector of small shiny treasures. I'm queer. I love beer. I do an alright job of pretending to know my way around the kitchen (I make a mean sandwich). I enjoy coffee, crystals, and the color taupe. I have terrible hand-eye coordination. I'm typically a morning person. Would it make me sound boring to say I'm a sucker for puzzles?

I used to be really good at pretending I could tie a maraschino cherry stem with my tongue. I could teach you that.
