About Me

im your friendly neighborhood atheist. i like to make things that are beautiful. ive been owned by music my whole life. i overanalyze everything; i try to extract kernels of Truth from everything i notice, find an underlying pattern, and extrapolate it to figure even more useless shit out. rinse and repeat if desired. im also brutally honest, unstoppably happy, extremely arrogant, and cynical. but i believe im a good person. i guess mostly i just want to show pretty things to people i like.
talk to me on aim if youre feeling saucy at arch carrier. and if youre a geek or just really need to fall asleep, ask me about five-dimensional objects. dont say i didnt warn you, scout.

My Interests

really goddamned tight pants, chess, web design, air violin, video games, anime, woodcarving, blacksmithing, classical guitar, classical piano, hiking, drawing, mountains, potting, girls with glasses, designing places, climbing, asymmetry, pretending to be racist against the british, snowboarding, urban exploration, cheese, working on my house, gardening, cooking, cuddling, camping, driving, my dog, and making fun of marketing.
and knitting. yes thats right. i knit. there i said it. i feel better.

I'd like to meet:

you, tonight, with peanutbutter.
