About Me

i just moved to the west coast this year, and i'm loving portland so far. i'm from the midwest, but the last place i lived was london. i spent over 4 years living in the 2nd most expensive city in the world - traveling around europe, meeting lots of cool people, and partying in city. i've now been to every western european country except for finland.
i spent a long time resisting the pull of myspace.com. and now i've caved to the pressure. i'm such a wimp.
