About Me

I'm vegan because chickens, pigs, cows, and other animals suffer needlessly in factory farms and slaughterhouses for euphemisms like "nuggets," "pork," and "beef." Watch this video if you still eat flesh. There's no excuse—no one deserves to have their throat slit for your palate preference.

I spend all of my money on juice, crystalized ginger, and leaving the United States at least once every six months. I cannot stand the way my pants look when I have things in my pockets. My ankles roll far too easily, and I have on occasion accidentally showered while still wearing my glasses and/or socks. I'm currently teaching I sorta taught myself multi-variable calculus and I am now trying to find the time to become well-versed on theoretical physics. I'm terrified of dying/ in love with being young.

I have an internet blog you should go to (which I update almost never semi-regularly, sometimes):

omgwtfinternet.blogspot.com

My Interests

Pretty much: animal liberation, straight edge, Web design, Sarah, and my canine and feline housemates.

Otherwise: track and road bikes, skating, playing soccer and american football, skeeball and air hockey, quantum mechanics, not sleeping, sleeping a lot

I'd like to meet:

People who are straight edge since birth, anyone who enjoys factory tours as much as I do, and a new pair of glasses.

My Blog

Sleeping is so passé.

I'm yet another year (and 11 days) older, and I still don't sleep more than a few hours a night. (Intentional sleep deprivation is not, and never will be, so passé.)Facts (a.k.a. "What else is true"):...

Nobody knows where they might end up.

I cut off most of my hair, in a kind of intentionally-disheveled kind of way. Like George O'Malley on the hit tv show Grey's Anatomy. I'm growing out a beard again. I have a new jobone which is accom...

I eat delicious vegan foodstuffs.

I have to say, since moving to Texas I am eating better than I ever have in the history of life. When I was in Norfolk I had grown accustomed to a diet of oriental ramen and Dragon City's curry bean c...

The American lexicon, circa 1950s. (a.k.a. 'Chopper, sic balls')

I really wish that peoplemyself includedstill talked the way that Gordie Lachance, Chris Chambers, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio did in the hit movie Stand By Me. A few words and phrases I would li...

www.MySpaceShame.net

There is this rather odd social stigma attached to MySpace. It's strange, because practically every person under the age of 40 exists in some capacity on this sitebe it for messaging friends they wen...

What the ... (or rather "Who the ...")

I noticed something a little funny on a blog post I made a few months back about my other blog (omgwtfinternet.blogspot.com). I used Tinypic's service to upload a Web banner for said other blog, but a...

Plans (rather uexpectedly) change.

As of next week, I will be a resident of Austin, Texas, U.S.A. I still, however, plan on getting the aforementioned Earth Crisis chest and back tattoos, and still intend to look into going back to sch...

Spring/Summer.

Making lists for myself keeps me sane. Plans for the next few months of my life (in some yet to be determined order): Try to visit distant friends who I don't get to see hardly enough Move into town...

I love summer.

I have three quarter-sized bruises on my left kneecap and one sand dollar-sized contusion on left hip from falling while trying to ollie over things (and failing miserably) with two sweet dudes. My ar...
