About Me

My socks never match.
I love makeup, Oreos, and Peyton Manning.
I am what you might call a voracious reader.
γνωθι σηαυτον
(know thyself)
I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.
-Pietro Aretino, satirist and dramatist
This is my living faith, an active faith, a faith of verbs: to question, explore, experiment, experience, walk, run, dance, play, eat, love, learn, dare, taste, touch, smell, listen, argue, speak, write, read, draw, provoke, emote, scream, sin, repent, cry, kneel, pray, bow, rise, stand, look, laugh, cajole, create, confront, confound, walk back, walk forward, circle, hide, and seek. To seek: to embrace the questions, be wary of answers.
-Terry Tempest Williams, naturalist and author
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
- Helen Keller

It said, "Describe yourself."

I hate trying to name these things.

I'm just writing this randomly, because if I don't get down some of the little, mundane thoughts, I'll have no room for the big, beautiful thoughts. Or so I imagine.Christmas was pretty good. I made t...
