4. Express yourself in 5 words. absorbent, vivacious, thoughtful, vulgar, idealistic
5. If you were granted 3 wishes... What would they be & why? I would like a month or eight to travel everywhere with my friends consequence-free, since I love traveling and hate my job. I would like to accumulate degrees, at my own pace and for free, without any other expectations for my future, because college is fun and I am rather lazy. And I would like to see my boss publicly executed, The Lottery-style, for the same reasons that most folks would.

10. What is your biggest fear? I'm terrified of open heights. I feel kind of invincible to most things life could throw my way right now.
11. What's your 5-year plan; Where do you see yourself in 5 years? living in a different town, having a dog, possibly in grad school, hopefully saving more money, possibly thinking about children, still spending my summers going to a MILLION FUCKING WEDDINGS
12. Do you have any pets? If so, feel free to post pictures of them. I am fostering a cat named Belle and I have an invincible blue betta named Doodle von Taintstain.
13. What are your ACCOMPLISHED goals? I finished college, I spend time helping others, I feel good about my body, I drink beer with my friends once a week, I live independently in a city I love, and I remove myself from toxic situations when neccessary.
14. What are your favorite TV shows that went off the air? My So-Called Life, Rocko's Modern Life, The Adventures of Pete and Pete
15. Do you have any siblings? If not, did you ever want them? My sister is 20 and I'm so proud of her.
16. If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 people/things would you bring? My boyfriend, a good pocketknife, and a cast-iron saucepan.
17. What's the worst thing you've ever done to someone? I fooled around with my ex-boyfriend's best friend while I was still with the boyfriend. The relationship was over, we just hadn't admitted it yet. There's no good excuse, though.
18. Do you paint, write, draw or have any artistic interests? I'm generally talentless (or I think I am), but I'm a big consumer of art and writing. I'm a sucky writer, but I love editing and reading. I try to be as supportive as possible (monetarily and otherwise) of friends who are artists, writers, theatre folk, musicians, photographers, and models.
19. What is your favorite memory or dream? I have recurring nightmares which I have come to love talking about and picking apart. I have lucid sex dreams once in a blue moon, and those win, hands-down.
20. How did you hear about this community? I was browsing around fat-acceptance communities.
On the left.
Modeling some legwarmers I made.
Enjoying some gin.
Looking and feeling a little blurry for RHPS.
Also slightly saucy.
Explaining body shots to my friend Matthew.
And a silly picture, that happens to show my whole body from the front, as requested.
Fire at will.
