About Me

..
Chances are, if you ask to be my friend without actually ever saying anything to me, you will be denied. Sorry folks, I'm not interested in just having people under my friends list for the hell of it.Anyway. Having said that....I grew up on a small vineyard in a small village in New Mexico. I succeeded at escaping what I felt was too-small a life by moving across the country to Boston for college and now I live in the nation's capital trying to decide what to do next (often missing that 'small' life in New Mexico). I'm a little quirky, very liberal, honest and have a weakness for witty, intelligent conversation. This little box feels too confining to adequately convey any true sense of character, so if you want to know more, you're going to have to make a move.
