About Me



The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of patients battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost. I'll be participating in the Green Lake walk on Sept. 15. Click here to sponsor me.

My Interests

running with the devil, waiting for godot. movies, books, magazines, tv. wishing I had better telekinetic/mental spoonbending abilities. having dreams. music: listening to it, seeking out the good stuff, helping it. no drinky. scooter got smashed, so riding the bus and watching the wheels. // expressing myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile and cunning. (joyce)

I'd like to meet:


together at last.
