About Me

My new home will be... da, dA, DA! : 4500 36th Ave NE, Seattle WA, 98105. Apparently that's in the East bit of the 'U' district, but what do I know? I've never been there. I've been living in Duluth for the last year now, since graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in sunny St. Peter, Minnesota. I have a friend starting grad school at the University of Washington and she'll need a roommate and I don't have plans. I'd assumed I was going to grad school for a PhD in English, but apparently that plan is being delayed ... by sheer laziness ... maybe in another year or two. So for now I'm just looking for a job in Seattle and would appreciate any help. I've applied at Google, and Nordstrom and the Weekly, et cetera. I fancy myself a writer and an aesthete ... sometimes an athlete. Personal fitness, at any rate, is an important component of my overall aesthetic. ...."
