What You Bring To The Table
What kind of person are you? Describe yourself with four “I am” or “I am not” statements:
1)I am an artist
2)I am funny
3)I am well-rounded
4)I am open minded
What are your major hobbies and interests?: sewing, reading, music, art, yoga, meditation, movies, vintage clothes, sexuality, politics, history, what other people are thinking
Do you have any body mods? Which? What? Show us! not yet!
What do you consider your biggest accomplishment so far?: I exhibited a few pieces of my work in a group show in NYC a few years back. I sent the work to NYC on my 30th birthday!
How much time do you spend on the internet daily?: probably way too much time - a few hours I think?
Are you very talkative? In a good way?: on a good day.
Do a lot of people have romantic crushes on you?: My best friend says "yes, you have lesbian fanclub." I'm not sure, maybe my 'fanclub' should introduce themselves.
Do people ever tell you you’re too serious or not serious enough? Why?: Some people tend to think I'm not serious enough. I make jokes about a lot of things. It probably comes off as me not caring or being flaky. Why am I going to sit around crying about things not going right all the time? You only have one life to live and there are things you should stand up and fight for and some things are not important enough to bitch and moan about. If that makes me 'irresponsible' or 'immature' so be it.
Have you ever been involved with rating communities? What do you think of them?:nope
How much education do you have?:I have a Bachelors in Fine Arts
Do you think degrees and book learning are important?: for certain careers yes.
What is the craziest thing you've ever done in your life?: I'm not sure if I'd done anything that constitutes as "crazy" yet, but I'll let you know when I do!
State a strong opinion or view that you have and can defend:Being bisexual doesn't mean one is "confused" or "still in the closet." It took me years to understand the nature of my attraction to both men and women. And just because someone likes it both ways, so to speak, doesn't mean your a whore and sleep around. I know plenty of bisexual identified people who are not sleeping with anything that moves. Furthermore, I think people confuse the terms "bi-curious" with being "bisexual."

Let’s Get Personal
Would you rather be 20 or 30 forever if you could choose?: 30
How do you define your racial and ethnic identity?: French, Scottish, Portuguese, American.
How do you define your sexuality and gender? How did you arrive at this identity, and do you feel comfortable?: I'm a bisexual female. It took years for me to be comfortable as either, I was 23 and awkward when I came out... I think 'stumbling, bumbling, progressing, regressing, drifting, and dreaming' would be a good way to describe at how I've arrived. I also spent many hours alone in my 20's reading books, writing poetry and painting.
If you could have one super power what would it be?: when I'm sitting in traffic I wish for the ablity to fly - flying would be so cool, and just think how good for the enviroment it would be if I didn't' have to pollute the air but could just spread my arms like superman and fly!
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?: I think there'd be a lot less trees if that were the case.
Do you have a label like “goth” or “emo” or “preppy” for your sense of style? What is it?: I think my style is a little bit punk, and a little bit vintage - I like to call it "kitschy punk"
Are you a vegetarian or vegan? Why or why not? no I like meat.
What are your philosophic or religious beliefs (in general) ?: I guess some would call me agnostic as I can not disprove the existence of a higher being, yet one can't really prove that there is one.

The Crowd Wants To Know
What do you want to get out of The Dinner Crowd?: I'd like to chat with like-minds.
Do you think highly of yourself? Explain why or why not?: I'm not an egotist, but I certainly don't hate myself.. I'm somewhere in the middle.
