GET TOUGH OR DIE.

About Me

i'm a southern-influenced new yorker living in california.NOTE TO ALL: my "top friends" appear alphabetically, guys first, then girls. THERE IS NO RANKING. if you're not among the nice folks up there, it most definitely does not mean that i don't love you. you are probably just affiliated with one of those organizations among my top four: the big blue house (my humble home), wama (my neighborhood organization), the hi-notes (my fake boyband), or the after dinner punkrock club (my extremely-part-time punkrock band). quite a syndicate, if i do say so, myself.**this warning was brought to you by the commission to avoid myspace politics and top friends drama [TCAMP.AT.FD]

My Interests

perpetually half-done 'to do' lists, laughter, sporadic croooning serenades, regular parties that turn into dance parties, action/reaction/reenaction, mingers, errant 1's, speaking in an array of accents, overusing ampersands, photography photography photography, hiking and camping, music, travelling, thrifting occasionally, dreaming big, rooftops, bonfires, road trips, the dirty south, whiskey, wine, not having any non-dance moves, overly intense fake neighborhood rivalries, overly elaborate secret handshakes, misusing the word "hella", the big blue house, the western addi[c]tion, my homes: san francisco, new york and south carolina.

I'd like to meet:

explorers. creators. debators. barstool philosophers. master chefs. poets. revolutionaries. life theorists. scoundrels. streakers. havoc wreakers. outlaws on the lam with a good story to tell. purveyors of new inside jokes. bad pun connoisseurs. people who don't know any non-dance moves. those who believe coyness is a science as well as an art form. anyone who is or has ever been married to the sea. air instrumentalists with deep seeded emotional ties to the who.
