About Me

as of late... in the last year i played rollerderby for two leagues in richmond, va. i loved it so damn much, but it takes some damn time i don't damn have. but i spend a lot of my free time playing shows with my band, the hotdamns! we are a honky-tonkin kinda band and we love booze and harmonies. i wait tables at a cafe here in richmond. i like bob dylan. i like books. i like bikes. i like my hair. i like vodka. if you ever wanna buy me some at a bar with some club soda and a lime "wedge" you should write to me and say, "meet me ____." i love my friends. and i love four square.
