ABOUT ME

hipster hippie preppy freak, with an ivy leage education and a penchant for costuming and street dancing, smooth talker, well-read, generally kind, strong sense of social justice, ardent feminist but still believe in chivalry.

PHILOSOPHY

live fully, exuberantly, purposefully, and creatively, and for pete's sake, don't take yourself too seriously!
