chalk it up baby

About Me

what i love to do; road-trips, river-rafting, rock-climbing, backpacking/hiking, concerts, ultimate frisbee and fishing. boozing it up really isn't my thing but i'll go out once in awhile to kick it as the D.D.. my family is the most important part of my life, they will always come first. I love books that challenge the scope of your perception. i don't like definitive plans. I have to spend a lot of time whith someone before i really open up to them.

My Interests

art. writing. i love building things. outdoor activities that hold a level of risk. I fantasize about jumping out of airplanes or glissading down a mountain side. (i'm going skydiving in June, and i can't wait!)
