32. tucson AZ. 11 years vegan. 24 years of cats. bikes. maps. snow. not swimming alone. running. eating excessively. me

i updated my ‘avatar’ and profile info. i will be 32 in about a week, its been at ‘30’ for a few years. i still sadly live in tucson going on 2 years, its great and all… if you dont like being outside most all the year… you know, in the summer cause its awful and way too hot starting at about 530 AM, and its crappy in the winter cause its sort cool outside but there is no snow to go play in. no really, its sort of okay here other than the weather, proximity to skiing, and the fact the closest city is phoenix (top 5 worst places in the world) and its sort of ‘in the middle of nowhere’. we are looking to move ASAP to either northern new england or stay out west but be either in cali or further north near snowier steeper skiing meowtains. i guess portland is #1 follwed by SLC, denver, reno, seattle and then less bigger cities. veganness is most important aspect, followed by snowy meowtains, then follwed by cheapest rent. so if you know of any librarian jobs in those areas then holla at us.

also nobody ever sends me messages. like really i have gotten two in the past 3 or 4 whatever years since tumblr started. i also dont send any cause nobody sends me any so i feel like a weirdo sending them. i guess i will start and you will have to deal with it.
