ABOUT ME

I'm a nerd girl. Sci-fi? Fantasy? Obscure cultural reference? Careful, I can talk your ears off. I literally cannot drink alcohol (don't have the enzyme) and pass out after roughly 1/4 of a beer. I don't smoke, but don't mind people who do. I cook improvisationally, and have an impressively high success record. Especially cake. I like cake. When I get tired I speak almost entirely in nonsequiturs, and when I'm not I speak almost entirely in sarcasm. I'm an ex radio DJ and my ipod is rounding 10,000 songs. I doodle compulsively and act compulsively, too. I love dancing. LOVE it. Whenever I'm left alone for too long without anything to occupy me, I automatically start dancing with myself. I dress strangely. People say I look exactly like an anime character. I'm a bit tired, can you tell? I love debating and/or arguing with people about politics, philosophy, religion, and pretty much anything and everything else. Want someone to stay up until 4am discussing the relative nature of morality with you? Bring the snacks, let's do this shit.

PHILOSOPHY

Fuck it, why not?
