My life is like a circus, but not in the pejorative sense. There's just always a lot going on. I have a billion hobbies and interests and I use each and every one to larp that I'm totally fine and to pretend that everything isn't on fire.
I was born and raised in Charleston (the fun one), but I've lived a bit all over. Now I'm back in town and trying to establish roots in a city that I have spent most of my adult life trying to avoid. Making new friends (and love interests) in your old hometown while in your early thirties is surprisingly torturous.
Here are some random blurbs about me:
My younger sister says that I'm on the Pisces-Aries cusp and that explains *everything* about me.
My main hobbies are quilting, birdwatching, and gardening. I also enjoy watching hockey, golf, tennis, and F1.
I also breed monarch butterflies and have a pretty dank pollinator garden. Do people still say dank?
My favorite flowers: peonies, hydrangeas, gardenias, magnolias, lantana, snapdragons, orchids, ranunculus, and foxglove.
My favorite birds: chimney swifts, common grackles, cardinals, boat tailed grackles, indigo buntings, painted buntings, purple martins, red winged blackbirds, crows, and house finches.
My favorite ducks: wood ducks, blue winged teal, mallards, muscovies, and mandarins.
I'm also pretty amazing in the kitchen.
Currently I'm dealing with the early stages of a pretty significant home renovation project. It's great fun, but also very frustrating.
My Clearly Canadian flavor is Mountain Blackberry.
The Taylor Swift lyrics that speak most to my soul are: "I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails and the liquor in our cocktails."
Religiously, I'm a reformed former Catholic and now I worship satan.
My music tastes are pretty eclectic and broad, but my little brother says I only listen to Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Taylor Swift.
I'm extremely overeducated and decently traveled.
My favorite book of all time is "Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
I'm a big fan of better living through chemistry.
I'm getting back into working out and hitting the gym after a chronic illness took it out of me for about 5 years.

Let's talk about anything and everything. I'm an open book.
Tell me something fun about you or your life.
