*Self-Summary: (couple sentences)
What i’m doing with my life: Fucking around for a year between undergrad and grad school in linguistics. Currently 'fucking around' constitutes teaching English to kindergarteners in Taiwan, learning Chinese, and trying to force myself to write things that aren't syntax papers.
I’m really good at: Flipping tables when shit gets real, driving for months, battening down hatches, tying knots in general, knitting, syntax, inventing new buzzwords to impress literature professors, writing papers, mismanaging personal relationships to the inexplicable benefit of several involved, wrangling small children.
The first things people notice about me: Eyebrow piercings, loud mouth, tie dye.
Six things that I could never do without: Internet, nice pens, nice journals, knitting needles, indestructable flip-flops, my indestructable giant purse/bookbag thingy.
I spend a lot of time thinking about: The gaping maw between consciousness and the reality of the physical world; syntax; whatever new, shiny fandom I've picked up most recently (coughHomestuckcough); my friends and their weird-ass shenanigans; where in Taiwan I'm going to get a decent goddamn pint of beer.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit: I have six active diaries. Active.
