I live in an apartment with my husband, another couple, and their baby. I think housemate situations are underutilized. Someday I would like to buy a house and share it with friends and family.

I'm a lot less outwardly geeky than I was as an adolescent.

I love clothes but am too cheap to buy new ones. Also, I don't want people to think I'm fussy.

Despite having a minor in gender and sexuality studies and a belief that people should do what suits 'em, I'm more conservative on that stuff in my own life than I think I should be.

I'm in social work school but wonder if I shouldn't find something higher-earning so as to be able to give more money away. Philanthropy is one of the most important things in my life. Another important thing is folk dancing.

Former jobs include cook, farmhand, daycare worker, and administrative assistant. My current internship for school is on a psych ward. I'm finding the patients there are far less different from other people I know than I was expecting them to be.

At times I've been conversational in Spanish and French, halting in Russian and Danish, and literate in Esperanto.

In a mock trial, I was once convicted of being "entirely too wholesome."

I used to keep quail in a studio apartment. This is not something I would do again.
