About Me

Hello, I'm Courtney. I'm slightly left of center.
If I were a plant, I would have alpestrine tendencies.
I like books and most people who like them as much as I do.

My father always told me to finish what I started, but he had no idea of some of the people I'd be dealing with. Some of the things I learned early on were useful, but some of them were obviously meant for someone who was not me.

My Interests

• books/reading
• photography
• journals/writing
• traveling
• daisies

I'd like to meet:

someone nice.

Movies:

We will not be making connections based on mutual movie interests.

Television:

We will not be watching television together. The surrogate mother/father in a box (that taught you to skip adolescence completely before developing an understanding of personal responsibility) and I disagree on a number of topics.

Books:

I read A LOT. Notes from the Undergound, Immortality, The Unbearable Lightness of Being (and all of Kundera's other books), The Return, House of Leaves, The Whalestoe Letters, science and philosophy texts and anything that makes me think, etc.

Heroes:

my father.
