About Me

Hello! It's been awhile! How are you-what's that? You don't remember me? Oh...If you don't already know me, I'm a happy-go-lucky, clumsy, famous super-nerd who loves photography and books. I log long hours at my desk at construction company dealing with money and truckers. I also log short hours with children in the community who babysit while I color, play in the mud, playground...I live with a equally cool girl who indulges and supports my ravenous love for all things music. As the result of a fantastically arranged set-up, I found a wonderful, sweet, hilarious boy who does the same.

My Interests

Did you know Everyday Music is open until midnight, every day? And they have the best selection in Portland? You didn't? I apparently spend too much time there...and Powells. And Stumptown. And, um, the Doug Fir. 'Cause I like to drink.

Running.

I hate to run. I hate the exhaustion, I hate the short breath, I hate the sweating. I hate sideaches and the hunger that follows that makes me overeat. I hate wanting water so badly. Lately, though, I...
