Don't fuck with me now, man. I am Ahab.

About Me

Disclaimer: If you'd like to add me, please email me with some sort of introduction. I'm not big on the random add thing.
"I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark"
- P. Gabriel
Late spring through early autumn is my favourite seasonal span. Despite living in New England for 30 years, I have not grown accustomed to the cold. I love flowers and animals. One of my favourite places to be is on a beach at sunset. I dream with my eyes wide open. Fresh fruits and veggies are some of my favourite foods. I like going for walks and hanging out in used book stores. Sitting on the porch with a good book is a peaceful way to spend an afternoon. There are some moments in my childhood that I miss, and I can’t begin to put it into words because it’s a feeling, rather than an event. Kittens and chocolate ice cream can cure broken hearts. I prefer words over numbers, foreign cars over American, and Miracle Whip over regular mayo. I think it's wise to always have a roll of duct tape in your house or on your person, if possible.
