Name: samantha/sam, also known as tall sam

Age: a little less than a month away from the wonderful twenty-two

Location: tennessee the beautiful

How do you identify?: (sexuality/gender) whatever fits me at that specific moment. though i tend to be feminine, and i tend to lean more towards the same sex side of orientation

Interests/hobbies: my job, which seems to take up the majority of my time, whether it be butterfly identification or programming with our speckled kingsnake; storytelling, especially stories of the native american variety; weaving, making jewelry, making beads; playing wildly interesting tunes on my keyboard at midnight as some sort of ridiculous ritual; collecting beads and buttons; wildflowers and all their many uses; mildly inappropriate and always confusing analogies; renewable energy; cooking, especially vegan and vegetarian foods; expeditions to used book stores and goodwills; culture studies. in essence, i'm a down home southern girl who never wants to admit she's from the south, who loves biodiversity, good literature, and a good trail run/canoe session/bike ride/hike to clear the mind. i hate boxes and refuse to be any part of them; everything i see is colored, and nothing is black or white.

Favourite books: dry, running with scissors, and possible side effects by augusten burroughs; the norby series by isaac asimov; the martian chronicles by ray bradbury; salmon of doubt and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by douglas adams; breakfast of champions, cat's cradle, and slaughter-house five by kurt vonnegut; the book of laughter and forgetting by milan kundera; life of pi by yann martel... so much more. neil gaiman, virginia woolf, frances burney, mark twain, thomas hardy, herman hesse... literature is the way to my heart.
