i’m arinn.  i live in raincity dreamland vancouver with the orange cat brigade, henry and pepin.   i grew up on a farm under the expansive prairie sky and spent a few years in california before coming back to the home of my heart.  i love: drinking tea, dim sum, avocados, riding my bike, afternoon naps with my cats, slouching around with my friends, puns/terrible jokes, writing letters, acquiring tattoos, spending time alone.  my birthday is october 2.  i’m rambly, clumsy, giggly as hell.  once, on a (terrible) date, i was told ‘you remind me of liz lemon’, which made me feel both insulted and flattered.

i’m happiest when i’m doing something creative.  my favourite creative pastimes are sewing, drawing, modeling, photography, fashion, cooking.  my little etsy shop is at dovegreydawn.com

i’m vegan, atheist, and queer, and these distinctions are very important to me.

i’m an avid reader: i especially like anthropology, gender/culture/sexuality studies, history, biology & natural history.  when i dip into fiction, i love gabriel garcia marquez, hemingway, steinbeck, francesca lia block, margaret atwood, cormac mccarthy, terry pratchett, and a whole lot of classics.
