i love my city,sweet & gritty inland to outski

I am here for Friends

About Me

I always figured my life would be of quaint proportions as opposed to epic. God knew better....

My Interests

pop culture, film, my kids. I like good sandwiches and good books, the countryside, the smell of fresh eucalyptis, foreign accents (but even some domestic ones like Boston and North Dakota). i also like refreshingly genuine people.
