: About Me

I'm in my late twenties and am find myself arguing liberal politics with other liberals. I have an awesome five year old boy, and am in a deep "find myself" mode right now.

My passion is ...

ensuring people are treated fairly.

I know too much about ...

how to make tacos, Stetson hats, and UFOs.

My parents always told me ...

to keep my feet off the couch and that the only thing you have is your word

My childhood ambition ...

to be a chemist, until I found out that there was more to it than mixing chemicals.

My favorite memory ...

at 28 I have too many. I've lived a great life so far.

Why I write ...

it's an expression of myself and what I feel needs to be written.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading whatever the new feminist book club recommends, watching MSNBC compulsively, listening to all sorts of crazy stuff.

My first job ...

was making tacos at a fast food restaurant.

My best moment ...

I'll have to get back to you on that.

My inspiration ...

my son, my partner, my family, my morals.
