I'm a grad student, a mom, a vegan, a weirdo, and devoutly left-wing. I question everything, even lefty thinking. I talk too much, laugh at fart or sex jokes, have too many pets, and I'm wildly picky. Over the past few years, I've pared down my life so I have enough time for family and school and I've suddenly realized that I've pared it down too much and I seriously need to get out more. I'm fairly recently out of a loooong term relationship so taking things slow is important to me. I'm open to the idea of another relationship in the future (but I don't want to rush into anything); I'm not interested in intimate encounters.

Random words that describe me: feminist, funny, irreverent, loving, kind, stubborn, flaky, intelligent, anxiety-ridden, clumsy, goofy, intense, opinionated, indecisive (yes, it IS very hard to be both indecisive AND opinionated!), inconvenient (a friend described me this way several years ago and its so true!), late, flustered, uptight...you get the idea :-)

A few random facts about me:
* I have a tendency to run errands in my pyjamas
* I think that having kids like you is one of the greatest compliments one can receive
* I don't shave...anything. If you have a problem with that, don't try to make it my problem because it's just not.
* I have a twisted sense of humour. I take many things in life very seriously, but that doesn't stop me from having a good laugh about them; I think laughing keeps me sane (but, who knows, maybe I'm delusional about that [see! I did it right here!])
* I'm a grammar nerd. Actually, I'm a fair bit nerdy overall.
* I thought I had one more random fact and now I can't remember what it was. This forgetting thing is actually a very good trait of mine with which to become familiar as I do it all the freakin' time.

For a first date, I think meeting for tea or a meal and talking each other's ears off sounds about right!
