About Me

Inside, I am an accomplished something-or-other. I just don't know what that something is.

chapstick, bottle caps, maps, architecture, design, music, the sound the cat's collar makes when it hits the water bowl, building and restoring furniture, bier, sculpture, germany, road trips, finding patterns, being a nervous weirdo
