I'll tell you a secret

About Me

I'm a senior at Reed College, and this year, I am conducting a thesis experiment on altruistic behavior. I want to know what inspires people to help complete strangers when they expect nothing in return.I laugh often, and admire people who see humor in the world. I love walking places when it's warm out. I dance! I'm intrigued by fashion and beauty in the human form. I collect memories in the form of photographs. Maybe I'll take your picture one day.

My Interests

I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling Or just after.-w. stevens
