i love kitties and i think cephalopods are amazing. i’m a major asiaphile; an urban gypsy, stylish fashionista. foodie and armchair sommelier. a sci-fi and interwebs nerd. impossibly abstract and philosopically existential. cynical but optimistic with a twisted sense of humor. left-wing with socialist-libertarian leanings; a deactivist and former anarchist who still swoons for emma goldman. trying to live more sustainably but far from perfect. i’m a painter who doesn’t paint, but a wicked good knitter and reconstructive seamstress; a career barista, but in the long process of becoming a feng shui practitioner.
