About Me

@@@@@@@@@ LADIES AND GENTS!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@Your Prodigal Son will be returning to the grand ..Ole US of A for a little visit after a long year and a half away!! I will be landing in Georgia this Wednesday, December 19 around 10 pm and I..m flying back to Barcelona January 19. I..ll probably be spending New Year..s in Athens, and the days around Jan. 10 with my sister in Asheville for her birthday. If you want to call me at my parents.. house send me a message and I..ll give you the number. See you soon!I'm an extrovert learning how to be alone. Hace un aÃ±o que vivo en el centro de Barcelona. I left the USA July 18, 2006. Since then I've learned a lot, not least of all the Spanish language. I play music, solo and with my new band, I take dance classes, I am part of a trapeze skills-exchange, I cook vegetarian food, and for some reason I close my eyes when I brush my teeth. More importantly, I don't really use this Myspace any more. What can I say? Life in Barcelona is more interesting than Myspace. If you would like to stay in contact with me, send me emails to my real email address. Don't have it? Send a little message through this thing and I'll hook you up.

My Interests

Traveling the World! Playing as many instruments as posible. Clapping, beating on shit in rhythm, beat-boxing everywhere I go, organic foods, cooperatives, vegetarianism, veganism, beer, travel, sociology, women and gender studies, anarchism, snuggling, bluegrass, performing, nerds, dorks, and geeks, The Flagpole Awards nominated Jumpin Jesus Christers, Greece, and the great beyond

I'd like to meet:

Singers, dancers, trapeze artists, musicians, squatters, puppeteers, cooks, lovers, writers, artists, and any one who understands how to make art every where they go.

Music:

Bluegrass and metal, and making da muzik wif da mouf

Movies:

Mirror Mask, Down By Law

Television:

No thanks.

Books:

Neverwhere, all The Sandman graphic novels, basically anything Neil Gaiman has had anything to do with; The Agony and The Extacy; The Life of Pi

Heroes:

Parents. Cliche, maybe, but true none the less. Also Daniel, my childhood best friend once saved me from drowning in the pool at the Rec. Department when I was 5. That definitely counts.

Can you be an "Ex-pat" if you were never patriotic to begin with?

It's been almost 4 1/2 months since I left the US... Weird. I live in Barcelona now. Sweet.
