she is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).

its also rather surreal cause i'm in a hostel. i'm not used to all these people being around. and they all know each other, and i.. well, it would take a couple of days.. i'm bummed that i'm not staying in any hostels in greece. a much better way to meet people. forced socialization. and i'm shy.

i'm also way fucked. i had to ask how to get here to the hostel and the directions were really simple. i'm so fucked when i get to athens. i don't know the language. i've already realized that i'll be glad when i get home, cause i won't have to think so hard just to read signs.

but i'm psyched. glad to be going overseas for the first time. this is such an adventure. i get to walk around seattle tommorrow, hopefully get to rei to get a rubber tip for my walking stick. i've actually got a note for the stick, cause screwed my foot up last week and i'm afraid it's not fully healed.

anyhow. i'm way out of shape. i'm realizing that. and my bags are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to heavy. but hopefully they'll lighten up as i use things in it, like the food.

okay. i've only got 30 minutes. luckily no one is emailing me.. HAHAHAAHAHA

may you all be at peace.
