Bio


The basics:
I want to work in international environmental policy and save the world. If you have a job opening for that, let me know.
I have been to 23 different countries so far on study abroads, with my parents, or backpacking on my own. I've driven across the US 3 times. I just got back from teaching English in Prague for a year.
I take pictures of everything.
I am by turns a martial artist, a yogi, and a gym rat. I also like playing on playgrounds. But I hate running.
I'm a DC comics fangirl. Favorites include: Young Justice, JLA V3 (Morrison/Waid run), DC New Frontier, Blue Beetle V2, and anything Toonverse. I wish I could be Robin, and Tim Drake is the love of my life.

All my user icons were created by me, unless otherwise noted - please do not gank them without crediting.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...

Never settle for anything less than extraordinary or life will suck. It might suck anyways, but it's better to suck with integrity right?

"All lives are composed of two basic elements," the squirrel said, "purpose and poetry. By being ourselves, squirrel and raven, we fulfill the first requirement, you in flight and me in my tree. But there is poetry in the meanest of lives, and if we leave it unsought we leave ourselves unrealized. A life without food, without shelter, without love, a life lived in the rain - this is nothing beside a life without poetry."
"If I was a hawk, I'd eat you in two bites," the raven said weakly.
"Certainly, " agreed the squirrel promptly, "That is the purpose of hawks, to eat squirrels, and I may add, gophers. But if you ate me without any appreciation of your own swift-plummeting stroke and without a certain tender understanding of my mad, futile flight toward my tree, where my wife and family dwell - well, you wouldn't be very much of a hawk, that's all I can say."
