Loud-mouthed liberal feminist. Anarchist knitter. Tequila-drinking artsy-smartsy fat chick. Bluesy folk-rock singer-songwriter. Rebel with too many causes. Quirky eclectic pagan poet. Paradoxical intuitive smartass. Sarcastic brainiac insomniac. You know, for starters.

I've lived in lots of places, and generally like the city better (though nothing beats the stars out in the boonies) - currently I'm living in the awesome Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. I have two adorable cats (Benedick and Samwise, because I'm a total geek). I have a rockin' roomie and fabulous new landlords. I play a lot of guitar, read a lot of fluffy novels, and don't watch much TV.

I dig good conversation, especially about religion or politics (stuff that MATTERS). I try to make the world a better place when I can - and I believe that that's pretty dang often. I curse a lot, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I dislike closed minds, liars, and people who think they're entitled to anything (particularly to tell me how to live my life).
