About Me

I'm a 28-year-old punkrock queer boy. Everytime I think I have my sexual orientation figued out someone comes along and knocks me for a loop so I have given up trying to understand it/constrain it. I have a lot of energy and often talk a lot. I like drinking beer but it makes me feel increasingly awful in the morning. I just quit smoking and I love nicotine patches. Strange things make me laugh-for example, when cats go crazy and run around the room really fast, certain singing potatoes, fake babies like the ones one would practice CPR on, and the subjunctive tense in English. I pick up things off the ground and put them in my pockets. I need a balance of things in my life such as city/country, drunkenness/sobriety, responsibility/fuck-it-allness, atheism/woowoo, social/lonesome (oh man how I enjoy those howl at the moon lonesome times),aggro/sweetness, but I'm intrinsically laissez faire (and even lazy) so often I let things get way out of whack before I find a solution. I have a house on an island in Maryland, and that is my favorite place to be in the world. Currently, I'm living in Philly while I go to nursing school.
