my name is ashera. pronounced ash-urr-ahh. I'm white. it's not very interesting. I date men. That's also not interesting. I'm an ENTP, which is mildly interesting. I have strong opinions about things and sometimes clue you in on my personal life, but not often so don't hold your breath. I have awkward mannerisms. I enjoy chasing skunks and setting fires.
