is the kind of girl you want to be in a foxhole with: an artist, daughter, sister, friend. barista, coffee master, chacha guide. latitudinarian. cosmopolite. crazy happy. moves a lot and loves it. loves living in grand rapids and misses it every minute. loves being single. struggles with the idea that everything has an answer. believes real equality is possible. loves burt’s bees, coffee for here, a great sandwich, and talking face to face.Tumblr (3.0; @allisonjaye)http://allisonjaye.tumblr.com/<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="220"
