I'd rather be here now

About Me

Myspace kind of sucks. It's not just the porn bitches clogging my inbox, it's the whole concept. It used to be fun, but now it's entirely about self-promotion. I greatly prefer the relative intimacy (and novelty, I suppose) of face-book.

Cool Slideshows

My Interests

Magic, Bikram Yoga, Skydiving (15 jumps to date), bad jokes, livejournal, juggling, being stuck in the middle of the country, right angles, horizontals and perpendiculars, Mexican food, pan-african storytellers, picky eating, taking care of business, theatre, whoring my art, standin' on a corner in Winslow Arizona

I'd like to meet:

Men who consider NPR an aphrodisiac.

People who like to go to Piano bars (mainly the Duplex).

Anyone who wears boots when they're on the prowl.

People who are brave enough to skydive and sing karaoke and eat fire and do yoga.

Bloggers.

Annoying porno bitches who will tell me they really liked my profile, that they are into "having fun, whatever", and will direct me to their "other" site (the one with the nude pics).
