About Me
| About Me | I’m an American currently living in London and doing my master’s in the study of religions (focusing in South Asian Islam.) Some of my interests are: otters, tea, Buffy, lesbians, the Catholic Worker movement, and constantly asserting my need to “figure my life out” but not actually doing it. |
| Check All That Apply | Lesbian, Queer |
| Religion/Spirituality/Philosophy | The "it's complicated" label is better applied to this section of my life, but can I just say I'm religiously queer? |
| Relationship Status | Single |
| Virtues | empathy, having an encyclopedic knowledge of useless information |
| Vices | hyperscrupulosity |
| Are You Out To Your.... | Everybody |
