ABOUT ME

I am a librarian at the Hood River County Library District. I'm originally from the Detroit area in Michigan, but I moved to Oregon in January of 2012. I love music, food, and spontaneous dance parties.

Books:
a repeat of the music situation would be a poor choice, no? I love books, I'm currently reading Feminist Theory by bell hooks and a collection of short stories by Issac Asimov. I love queer theory, women's and feminist studies, history, biography, young adult, fiction, historical fiction, and of course, cookbooks! Anyone who likes books is OK by me.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I just happened to be in Rome for Ciemmona 2009, made friends, and got to ride on a handmade backwards tandem. I miss the wonder and possibility of traveling experiences.

When I lived in Hamtramck, MI, I heard some raucous music outside my window one night and it turned out to be the Detroit Party Marching Band doing a spontaneous tour of the city. They let me tag along and we marched around the city, playing bars and street corners. This is the type of thing that can happen in the Detroit area. You should visit.
