About Me

I really like cats, although if you're reading this, chances are you already know that. I'm also probably the most indecisive person in the world, no matter how big or small or important or inconsequential the decision. I'm the only person I know who gets excited about gaining weight. If you tell me I'm looking heavier, I will probably hug you. I decided it was time to learn how to play a string instrument, so I am teaching myself how to play the guitar. I have an old red road bike (in the market for a new one that's triathlon-worthy) and am always looking for new places to ride it.
