About Me

Monsieur Kafka once said, "Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair." Thusly, I am 100% Despair Free (well, alright, 93%).

My Interests

making long lists, film, writing, art, the art of adolescents, robots, mermaids, angels, mermangels, old Super8 cameras, suburbia, antique postcards with messages on the back, ethical behavior, subversive behavior, green tea before bed, grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato, anything mint flavored (especially iced tea).

I'd like to meet:

Someone intelligent, honest and kind. Possession of a time-machine is a plus...
