About Me: It seems like every time I have this life thing figured out, everything changes. 20-something activist, dreamer, lover, and optimist. Spent some time travelling the world, lived mountainside and seaside and settled back into my prairie home. Joined a feminist collective, fell in love with a great man, remembered how the grain blowing in the breeze just feels like home. Dedicated to making something of myself so I can make something of my world. I believe loving is the bravest, most courageous, radical act in the world. I drink scotch and do yoga, read books and make things, curl on Friday nights and sleep on Egyptian cotton sheets. I believe in long brunch, a million crosswords, soy candles, speaking truth, bright lipstick, beautiful teas, sumptuous baths, empathy by the boatload, peonies, volumes of poetry, pretty stationary, the yin and yang of love and rage, and myself.

Main Interests:
General: Feminism, Vegan BBQ, Art, Making things, Skateboarding, Long walks, Skinnydipping at midnight, Documentary films, Film photography, Pretty things, Writing, Slam Poetry, Wine
Music: A little of everything, heavy on the Talib, ohbijou, The Tallest Man On Earth, Wu Lyf, Erykah Badu, Pixies, Wolf Parade, The Coup
Books: I am trying to wean myself off of non-fiction and have a more balanced literary diet. I recommend Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close to everyone I know, own the entire Margaret Atwood collection, am enamoured with Bell Hooks, devoured the Unbearable Lightness of Being, am reading more Zadie Smith, and love Kerouac.

Pen Pal Information:
How many pen pals do you have?: Two friends who have moved away to opposite coasts of my country.
How many do you want?: 5-10
Do you want email pals?: I read a million e-mails a day, so mail I can hold in my hands is nice.
Do you want snail-mail pen pals?: Yes! Please!
How long does it take you to reply to a letter?: My life can be hectic, so sometimes it can take awhile but it is always worth it.
What gender would you like your pen pal to be? Either or. Gender is a social construct.
Age?: No minors please!
Long letters? I love reading long letters, everything from in-depth philosophical thought and talking about politics and opinions and emotions to telling stories to talking about your life. I tend to ramble on in my own letters. But sometimes postcards or small gifts with a sweet note is nice too. Rules are silly.
Where would you like them to be from? Anywhere.
