About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to find peanut butter in Barcelona.

ABOUT ME

Inspired early on by Sidney Bristow, I decided that I wanted to be a spy and started learning to write help messages with my feet. When my bad eyesight, lack of training in martial arts, and fear of jumping off buildings made it clear that I wasn't going to be spying on anyone, I started looking for other ways to dress up in outrageous outfits, travel, hone my expertise(s), and generally kick ass. I write about religion, gender, the sociology of style, and cooking for a queer ladies' magazine and am on the lookout for a bicycle in my new home in Spain.

Interests

I like the stars, Ira Glass, quiet places, dancing, biking, and especially making popcorn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm half handyman, half housewife (but with sass). I can fix your broken chair, teach you how to wax your legs with caramel, and make the best cookies you've ever tasted. You can teach me to cook something new, rock my world with an idea, or help me learn to speak like you.
