i told you dudes, i would punch a shark in the face if it tried to bite me.

About Me

i like folding paper into puffy stars. i care about preserving and making history. pictures are cool. i take them sometimes, moving and still. I like learning about the bufo marinus, aquatic ape theory, taphonomic processes, food origins, sewing, monotremes (egg-laying mammals), vegetable gardens, storage devices, evolution, vertebrates, soil, chickens, vermicomposting, body boarding, starfish, and vegan cooking for meateaters. Right now I am into digging in dirt for business and pleasure. I am also totally enamored with United States history and sediments. Oh and I also like paleoethnobotanicals and scuba diving. I am a mama and student. i adore & despise both of these roles, depending on my mood. My favorite foods are seaweed potato chips, sno-cones, tuna and pickles, voodoo donuts, sushi, and homemade salad rolls.
