About Me

I have the same birthday (February 20th) as Kurt Cobain, Sandy Duncan, Cindy Crawford, Ivana Trump and Kelsey Grammer. What! What did you want me to write?
I love typewriters. Here's an example of one I own, a Smith-Corona Silent. The one in this photo has the same color schemes as mine. Laptops are handy, but you can't haul a computer printer with you everwhere. Plus these don't need electricity. This particular model has a travel box it locks into.
And here's one I got for my birthday, from my sister. Remington Noiseless Model Seven, and the serial number database said mine was either a 1935 or 1936.
I moved to Corvallis in October of 2003. In case you've never been here, there are very few gay males who are out of the closet, and many gay guys go back into the closet when they come OSU. Explains OSU's poor GLBT student retention rate. Anyhooo...
I love traveling. Its a blast haha ^_^ I have friends all up and down the Willamette Valley and scattered around elsewhere, so I find myself traveling a lot to hang out with them. Oh, and I'd love to do the traveling in one of these, if I could....
Mercedes-Benz 600, built from 1964 to 1981. This was MB's top luxury model for that timespan and was built to compete with Rolls-Royce. A divider window between the front and back seat was an option, but the version without it is more common.
The rear is more or less a 1960s MB rear. Nice and simple. Note the fabric curtains inside, though... :D
Interior..
