I really don't watch much TV- this past October marked the first time that I've had one since July of 2003.Books

About me:
.. At the moment, I'm a lot of things. I'm a poly, kinky, queer girl and social activist. I'm a student. A teacher. Feminist. Agitator. Pacifist. Opinionated brat. Really, it all depends on your perspective.I grew up in a small farming community in CT, and then ran to the big city at the first opportunity. To this day, I like to pretend I'm from Chicago- I am far more homesick for that amazing city than I ever was for CT. At the present, I'm livin' it up in Boston, studying my ass off and anxiously awaiting the day when I can flee again. Not sure where to yet, but I can guarantee my future winters will not have days where is is -15 degrees outside (who love the wind-chill factor? Don't all raise your hands at once!).
Who I'd like to meet:
In the fun Dead-or-Alive way: Molly Ivans, for having bigger balls than any man I've ever met. Walt Whitman, to hear him read "Song of Myself." Khalil Gibran, for the debates that could never be had with anyone else. My great grandfathers, who must have been amazing people to put up with the kick-ass great grandmothers I had the pleasure of knowing.In my real life, I love meeting new people- going out, and exploring the city. I'm known for talking to pretty much everyone, so send me a message! .. ..
