Carrie from Sleater-Kinney Calls him, Awesome

About Me

Hello there. I live in this place called Batavia that's a little bit outside of Chicago which is the great capital city of the otherwise dreary Midwest. I'm going to a community college near here in an attempt to save money for a future move there. Life is really too uneventful around here and it's overly populated with those who have lost any sense of adventure they once had. I, unfortunately really like adventure, be it in the form of travel (I went to Europe! Sorry....couldn't resist) or just talking to someone who is really fascinating and/or intelligent. It's my belief that we all live our lives from our personal collection of story and symbol and I try to express that in writing from time to time. It's my desire to get as much of that as possible and it's what draws me to websites like this, where there is a whole endless sea of people who could be enlightening, entertaining, impressive, challenging, or just fun. I like the idea of that, even when it doesn't work out. I like endless journeys.
