Get down on the goose

About Me

i'm a kansan. i have relatives who farm, and i know how to drive a john deere tractor - hauling hay bales and mowing fields. but i have no plow experience. only roto-tiller. i play the guitar. i am preparing for grad school. i work at a book store. in my undergrad schooling, i primarily worked in the recording studio at umkc, but i also took several history and economics classes. i plan to continue with those subjects in grad school. i'm not a stickler for punctuation, but i know how to use it. i also prefer lower-case, but only for its uniform appearance. i tend to scheme.

My Interests

avoiding people, debasing the free market myth, drum circles, swimming, practicing guitar, carpentry and construction, subsistence farming, audio recording & editting, web design, small & fuel efficient vehciles (which i don't have).

I'd like to meet:

in all selfishness, i'm always open to meet more: fishing/bar buddies, people who are comfortable in silence, enthusiastic fans of ku basketball, people who don't want to talk about punk/rock bands, people who know their way around a library or book store, card players, radical economists, vegetable gardeners, people who know how to identify a straight 2 x 4, people who aren't afraid of coyotes, and ideally more people who likes: camping, avant-garde jazz, traditional country and bluegrass, and fondudes.
