About me: Here is the thing. If you are not intelligent, thoughtful or get why racism and sexism are bad things, then please don't talk to me. I am annoyed by you and will happily tell you so. I will do it politely and you will probably never knwo what hit you, but don't make me. If you are male and not strong enough to respect women or think girls are cool. go away. I am the coolest girl you will ever know, and can make a feirce friend, a wonderful hang out and will simply let you be you
Who I'd like to meet: Paul Bettany. Barring that: Anybody who can discuss ideas and knows how to laugh at the sublime. The articulation of the ridulous is essential.

:) Hi! *waves* Hope all is well and warm in California! It's cold and rainy here (but that's okay because it's not like I ever expected it to be any other way, although a little snow might be nice.) Anyhoo, just thinking about you. Hope your Christmas was a nice one!
