About Me


this is my personal myspace for friends. if we have not officially met,
feel free to add my other site that is listed in my top friends. thanks!


i am a freelance photographer, graphic designer and full time student.
i will eventually reside in one city, rather than two.
as of the last few months, i prefer a night in than a night out.
im free spirited, and low maintenance.
i can count close friends on one hand.
i care too much, and i rarely answer my phone.

click the photo to visit my temporary website
its been four years since i had a new one.

My Interests

..i like boys with strong convictions
and convicts with perfect diction
underdogs with good intentions
amputees with stamp collections
plywood skinboards ride the ocean
salty noses suntan lotion
always seriously joking
and rambunctiously soft-spoken
i like boys that like their mothers
and i have a thing for brothers
but they always wait
til we're under the covers
to say i'm sure glad we're not lovers
