About Me

searching for the sublime. looking for the details other people miss. sometimes the two overlap.

My Interests

what characters do between chapters, mormon missionaries, fallen gymnasts, circus acts, translators, mischief and trouble

I'd like to meet:

i like people who know the history of both their city's crusty underbelly and its socialite sheen. people who can tell me stories of the past and then live the future lies we'll tell our children. folks who want to know the world better than they did yesterday. modern cityscape adventurers with a penchant for the impossible.

if we don't know each other outside yourspace/myspace, please be so kind as to send an introduction before inviting me as a friend. i'm not so interested in amassing hundreds of 'friends' i've never exchanged a word with. besides which, it's only polite. even anarchists are best served with manners.
