i'm dot! (she/her) i'm in my mid-20s and am a line cook. i love to read and i aspire to write. i'm also a professed gaming addict (/jk, it's not serious) who is in love with animal crossing: new horizons (blathers my beloved <3). i am also a typical young woman feeling lost in life---i know, stop the presses! i am always open to trying new things, even if they turn out poorly.

what drew you to dash? well, she emailed me, and i responded. that's about it LOL. she's a bit of a control freak, but i know she wants what's best for me.

What is an introduction, but a forced impression of myself? "Cogito ergo sum" is a lie; doing, and not thinking, is what makes a woman. I am called Dash. And what do you do? I am a cynic. I read, write, listen to music, and compose. I appreciate scientific nonfiction, literature, politics, and all horror. I prefer jazz. My other professions are irrelevant to our meetings.

"The worst crime a man can inflict on himself is anonymity. It eats people alive inside if they go too long with their grubby little lives, not counting for anything, good or bad. They just exist. No one should have to live an anonymous life." - "Cancer Causes Rats" by Brian Hodge

what drew you to dot? My zeroth impression was that we were both avid readers searching for companionship. My first impression was that she was merely another part of the slobbering masses. My second impression was that she was alarmingly determined to retain my attention. She is malleable; having struggled for so long to find a worthwhile friend, I plan to mold her into what I've been searching for.
