consider leaving naked

About Me

believe in good girl friends, saunas, that everyone needs to leave the country once, my mom's cinnamon rolls, back rubs, marriage for all, sushi, bluegrass, canoes, sunshine as an energy source, sustainable agriculture, belgian beers, the power of youth voice, johnny cash, live music, road trips, trying to salsa, south africa, singing in the shower or in the streets, and being optimistic about a shitty situation a.redlink:active, a.redlink:visited, a.redlink:link { color:000000; font-size:8pt;
