Psst... Laura? It's Emma, from your anthropology class back in the day... we talked about the Teenage Liberation Handbook, remember? I have a copy of Stolen Sharpie Revolution which I can mail to you.

Also, I am hella into anyone who lives in the dorms leaving campus all the time and exploring PDX and taking walks and cooking a lot. I thought about how to make this actually happen all the time when I lived in Bragdon, because dorms make me crazy and doing those things kept me (relatively) sane. For PDX adventuring, I recommend 3 Friends Coffeehouse on 12th and Ash (complete with radical faeries on Saturday mornings), karaoke at the E-Room, SCRAP (of re-used art supplies) up in NE, In Other Words & the Black Rose & Laughing Horse for books... when I am back in PDX, we should hang out and visit some of those places.

In conclusion, bicycling is love.

whoooooooa hello there! i live in bragdon. dorms make me crazy. i think i need to get a bike so i can get out of here faster. i feel trapped.

thank you for the resource list. when do you return? how are you doing?
i'm so glad you got in touch with me!

oh and also. mail. i won't be back in pdx til 1/25, so...are you coming out this spring? if not, i can give you my address then, so you don't have to keep track of it til i'm back.

hehe... believe me, i empathize so hard with bragdon-living bicycle-less trapped feeling. bicycles and living off-campus made my life feel 1000% more human. (i lived on the third floor right next to the balcony where everyone was always smoking and acting like fools, which doubled my rage.)

i'm doing pretty well... i'm living with my parents and selling electronics in the mall of america, it's ridiculous. i'm glad to not be in portland for a little while, because i tend to get overwhelmed by other people's stress, but at the same time i miss it & my folks there like crazy. mixed blessings, whatcha gonna do? i am going back to portland in the fall

re: mail. will it get to you if i send it to your reed mailstop? 'cause i know your name and the address at reed, and i'll probably forget if i leave it 'til after winter holidays.

and by "fall," i totally meant "spring." i am coming back to reed in january. i think.
