malanai@livejournal.com Bio
You can pretend you're a carrot. [This last option, is of course only a reserve, and should not be tried at home, especially around tea-time]
I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me
And now it's been 10 years
I'm still wondering who to be
30-year-old queer female originally from Cincinnati, OH. A little quirky.

Testimonials:
"She goes and does things. All the time. Concerts, karaoke, hanging out with people at random places..."
--Guy I went on two dates with
"Penny is definitely worth being friends with, and deserving of love and acceptance. Penny is an amazing woman who stands up for what she believes in, and follows her dreams, even if the road is long long long, and bumpy."
--
xoraclex"She is the best of both worlds -- a planner and a 'do-er.' Whatever she envisions or hopes for herself, she makes happen. She's the perfect embodiment of the aspirational phrase, 'If you can dream it, you can be it.'"
--
ta2dmrm8"Has anyone actually SEEN Penny sleep??"
--
mavra_chang"She fills every available moment with things that bring her joy, people that she loves, and music, and laughter."
--
kerinda"She's the first SUPAH CLOSE FRIEND-CHAN you've had in a while that wasn't a lunatic. ♥"
--
dani_osoI can only try to do my best every day, and expect the best from others.
"I won't fear love." -- Sarah McLachlan
Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? - Ernest Gaines
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." --Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States of America
